~/Oxyrhynchus changed this page’s pic on January 12 without discussion, merely stating in the edit summary that the old pic had been there for a long time. (I PM’d them four days ago and received no response.) It was:

As you can clearly see, she is not sitting on a chair.

I'd say BUPKIS. New one doesn't do much and feels more like The Greatest Story Never Told and/or something being covered up. The original is JAFAAC and yet another "chairs" joke.

[up] It's not JAFAAC, but it is hard to see what's going on. I can't see if she's using a chair or not.

I like the "absolutely nothing happened" one. It got a chuckle.

Come to think of it, I kind of like the current too. As for the old pic, I can’t even tell what she’s sitting on.

The image source is hard to locate. Best I can find are scattered Reddit pages about them being made to order, and people hanging them in protest or satire against locations denying the existence of the The American Civil War (which started on that date).

I was tempted to support it, but knowing the context it doesn't really seem like an example.

Revert or no pic. [tup]

[up] Given your points, switch to no pic.

Would a caption lampshading the lack of a page image be bad form?

[up][lol] That could work. I can make a transparent background png, and pair it with a caption pointing it out.

[up] We don't really need a transparent PNG. All Jews Are Cheapskates and No Budget also have a caption with no pic.

Keep the caption without a pic, then, ig.

Switching to either nothing or just the caption

I think the current image is fine. If it's not an example, that can be noted on This Image Is Not an Example.

I'd rather have no date to avoid, well, dating the page.

[up] Oh no, definitely not a 'current day' thing. It'd have to be some kind of set date. My suggestion: Jun. 14th, 2007 - When the page was created.
