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.

Is The Shadow Knows fanart or official art?

[up] It's not among his images in the wiki, but it does resemble his official art. The transparent job's pretty bad though.

NightmareFuel.The Sword In The Stone has something similar to what was just added to Pike Peril, and is in fact a duplicate of the previous image from there. Leave it, or pull?

edit: Also, caption potholes to an unrelated work.


[down] If we're open to changing it, I kinda like this one more. If not, this is where to get a QU.

I think it works fine as an image, but it needs a quality upgrade. It can’t be a duplicate if the other image was changed.

The Shadow Knows is fan-art. I believe this official art of Jon Talbain from Darkstalkers would serve as a good replacement:

So I've been doing alot of work for The Kid with the Golden Arm, and I noticed that the image is basically just that of Hai Tao fighting Golden Arm.

I propose replacing that page image, with this one shown on the left side of the page: https://cityonfire.com/kid-with-the-golden-arm-1979/

I already have a PNG ready to go, and Robert TYL is fully behind the idea as well; he's the one who picked the first image and seems to be supportive of the notion too. With that said, do I have permission to do the replacement?

[up] I do agree that a poster would be better, but you’ll need to start a thread for that. The thread count is also currently at its limit, so you’ll need to wait for it to go down first.

Is Battleaxe Nurse page image illustrative?

Is Stage Magician showing enough of the trope as compared to it demonstrating Escape Artist?

[up][up]The current is not great, but the suggestion is even worse.

[up]Yes, I think we should move the image from Stage Magician to Escape Artist.

On Cute Monster, I definitely see "monster", but I don't see "cute"... like, at all.

I think it's adorable in an Ugly Cute way, but that's very subjective.

I think that leans too hard into the Ugly Cute; I’d like something more obviously “cute”.

Something like this, perhaps?

The artist can be contacted here if it needs permission. Otherwise, "baby cthulhu" GIS returns plenty of options.


Alternatively, this doesn't need permission, but it's not the best.
