Image Pickin is unfit for purpose

It's just taken three weeks to get a simple image change done on Summer Glau. This is ludicrous - it should not take this long for such a simple decision to be made. I suggest that we modify our requirements that anyone can change an image on a trope at their discretion with Image Pickin only used if there is a dispute between editors about selecting a suitable image that can't be resolved informally.

To be honest, looking back, I should have just changed the damn image when I saw the poor quality of the one in use and have been done with it - it would have been so much easier and simpler and I doubt anyone would have A - noticed or B - cared.

...Quality Upgrades are a free action already, if it's the same or mostly the same image.

If it's taken weeks to get an image, then that's a sign that either there wasn't a ton of interest in the thread...or a sign of too many suggestions. If it's the latter case, then yes, IP was absolutely necessary.

Hard no. The process isn't always efficient, to be certain, but allowing people to change pics on a whim, especially for trope pages, is a ridiculous idea and would essentially rewind the wiki back to the late '00s.
