There's some concerns that this comical Simpsons pic is too silly for a Useful Notes page on a serious struggle where people really died, especially since Useful Notes pages are generally supposed to be more serious and respectful than regular trope pages. Maybe some sort of historical photo would be preferable?

The cover of this none fiction book could work?

Good for a start, I guess.

I was the one who brought it up; this would be okay for a trope page but I think it's too silly for a Useful Notes page. So pull.

I'd like to apologize for all this.

I don't know about picture to replace the current one, but yeah, screenshot from The Simpsons looks unsuitable for Useful Notes (especially that dark).

I'll also pitch my vote for 9 if it wasn't official.

Good enough. 9's in and tagged, caption?

I think we don't need one. Keeping ROCEJ in mind I wouldn't want to put in a funny caption, that's for sure.

Given that an image caption about a 30-year ethno-nationalist conflict would need to be appropriately serious, maybe something like "For thirty years, the history of Northern Ireland was written in blood."

Or, to quote a song about the conflict, "The trench is dug within our hearts, and mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart."

Be kind.

[up] I'll upvote the second one. ("Written in blood" sounds like a screenwriter exploiting a serious conflict for cheap melodrama.)
