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.

Mod edit: Before posting here, please check the page source to see if the page has previously been discussed in Image Pickin'. Your question may already have been brought up in a prior thread.

  1. Is The X of Y having sufficient focus?
  2. Is Fakeout Escape showing enough of the trope?
  3. Is The Generation Gap of any help?

[up]No and no. The X of Y illustrates, but it is not in the focus enough. A cover from one of the A Song of Ice and Fire books might work. Fakeout Escape seems to be showing a different trope.

[up][up][up] I think that combo works fine.

[up] I'd pull that on quality issues, regardless.

Breaking the Fourth Wall had its image moved to the Video Game subpage for the trope back in 2017 due to the “no main image on trope pages with subpages” rule. However, that rule has since then been abandoned, so should we move it back?

[up] Yes, if you check the first lines of the trope description, not just the title.

I did read the description. Still don't really get it.

The previous thread kept the pic...I don't care for it, personally; it's connected to the trope but is still rather obtuse.

Are the images for The Shrink and Young Entrepreneur too similar?

[up] They're not too similar, but I'd rather avoid using images of Lucy's psychiatric help stand on both pages. Personally, I'd replace the latter.

[up][up][up]The previous thread was discussing only the image. Though, couldn't this be improved by improving the caption?

Grrr meant caption.

There's no page pic on Suddenly Fluent in Gibberish, but the Image Links page has contents that fail to illustrate what the trope's about. The first one is closest thanks to subtitles, but is covered by the page quote, while the other two...well, the people could be saying just about anything to those unfamiliar with the works.

Well it appears to depict a single individual, not an entire race. So I'm gonna give it a [tdown]
