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.

Thank you! Can we display that link somewhere prominently, perhaps?
I used to frequent the video examples page, but as those can only be modified by mods, unless there is some really serious issue with them (e.g. copyright or NSFW) they are practically stuck for good. This is one of the reasons I don't care about them any more. The best you can do is to vote on their illustrativeness.
Fjón þvæ ég af mér fjanda minna rán og reiði ríkra manna.Not sure on Gossipy Hens's image. It feels too small and a viewer might not know if the image is demonstrating the trope or not.
How's your day been?I couldn't find a larger version in GIS. There's a Norman Rockwell painting called "Gossip" IIRC that makes for a better page pic but has men mixed into it...not sure if that goes against the trope.
Here
◊ is an image of the Rockwell painting. The whole one would look really bad on wikisize, but a crop might work, but I'm not sure it would be that much better than the current. Should we start a thread about it?

Fjón þvæ ég af mér fjanda minna rán og reiði ríkra manna.And what about Blackmail Backfire? I'm having trouble seeing the backfire in the pic.

The original text on the paper was far too small to be readable at wiki size, so it had to be embiggened.
Anyone else think Graffiti Town doesn't illustrate the idea of the trope very well?
Yeah, that doesn't look like the trope at all. It just looks like a city.
Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.I'm pretty sure Stiff Upper Lip is an image macro... at the very least, it's a tired old meme by now.
Is Quintessential British Gentleman too similar to Gentleman Adventurer? It's the same character in a pretty similar pose, except the latter has a backdrop.

Judging from this article
, it seems to be an actual propaganda poster from WWII.
Yeah, we could probably find something better for the former trope.

Not too similar to be a straight dupe IMO (we have same character-different sprite Ace Attorney images on various pages, for example), but wouldn't mind replacing the one on Quintessential British Gentleman

Regarding Stiff Upper Lip, I wonder if the photo from which the poster is reconstructed
◊ would make a better image.
I, for one, vote for the photo.

Here's a better-quality version of the photo
◊. I vote using it for the page as well.
