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.

[up]Not YAFAAC, but it's pretty weak nonetheless. I'd still vote for a weak Keep Until Better Image Suggested though.

[up] Yeah, it's weak but it's invoking the trope so I think it's just barely in Keep Until Better Image Suggested territory.

That link in the caption is dead, by the way.

[up] Link works for me.

While the scene depicted in TearJerker.Futurama is no doubt a Tear Jerker, does it really work as a still image?

Ehh, not really, at least not without context.

Is So Near, Yet So Far not very clear?

Also, is Allegedly Free Game not clear on the “allegedly free” part?

[up] Yeah that prob needs a better pic, like something that says, "free game*" or something more blatant

[up][up] That works pretty well, considering games aren't supposed to cost anywhere near that much. It's not perfect but Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

[up]I agree with the part that the "allegedly free" part is clear enough. However, the image is Talking Heads.

Multiple things regarding the image for Palmtree Panic:

  • It has a white border when it really doesn't need to
  • The Plok image looks more like Green Hill Zone
  • The Parodius image overlaps with Gangplank Galleon
  • It took me a moment to realize the Sonic image was of a beach and not the sky (Super Sonic doesn't help)
  • There's nothing inherently wrong with the DKC 3 image, but I question why it's the GBA version

Is this enough to create a thread for it?

[up] The DK3 image looks more like Gangplank Galleon to me, so I'd say there's enough problems to make it worth a thread.

Anyone else find the image on You Would Not Want to Live in Dex pretty unillustrative? It doesn't look very threatening to me, and even the wolf imagery is a bit muddled because of Noble Wolf symbolism.

Yeah, that feels pretty "good example therefore good image". *checks the source* Oh look, no IP note, I am very surprised.

[up][up] I'd love to live in the area depicted; so it's probably not a good pic.

Also, that's the most groan-worthy trope name I've seen all week tongue

Would the newly voted-in image for Puzzling Platypus fit better on Mistaken for Dog?

[up][up]Possibly, but if we can find a good alternative to Mistaken for Dog, then it can stay on Puzzling Platypus.

Per the discussion on the last page, do I need to start an IP thread to replace the Stiff Upper Lip image with the photo from which the poster is reconstructed?

There's something off about the image on Street Fighter Alpha, and GIS suggests it's fan art displayed on Know Your Meme.

How about we replace that by official box art?
