This thread is meant to be a place for people to ask questions and request discussion about existing page images they have concerns about; this can be used to determine if a thread should be made to replace an image.

For example, questions about Just a Face and a Caption concerns, whether a picture requires additional context, whether a picture demonstrates all of the necessary aspects or a trope, or whether a trope better demonstrates a related trope can be asked here.

Uh, am I just not understanding the image on Wounds To Keep, because I really don't see how it relates to the trope.

I get it (mainly because I'm a huge fan of The Sandman), but the art style makes it very hard to parse.

Anyone else find Lost in the Maize to not be creepy at all?

Also, is Old Beggar Test really illustrative enough?

[up][up]Lost in the Maize is not pull-bad, but could certainly benefit from an actual horror movie still. I can glean enough about Old Beggar Test given the contrast between her and the prince/palace, the title of the page, and the caption, so not instapull-bad either. Further contextualizing it could duplicate the recently chosen Aesop Enforcer image.

The image in Teleporter Accident links to a T-shirt design template. I'm not sure if it's actually for sale though, but are we sure the image is actually usable?

I notice that all images in the collage on Slippy-Slidey Ice World are from a Platform Game. While indeed the slippery lack of character control is most obvious in platform games, this trope appears to cover any and all snow-based settings. Maybe we should swap out some of the images for e.g. a zelda-clone?

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

[up]That just sounds unnecessary.

The image is about ice levels. The genre doesn't really matter.

Is the Show Within a Show picture illustrative? There's no way to tell it's from a fictional work rather than a picture somebody did with their phone.
