Yeah there's no such thing as a troper making an "Executive decision", not even if they're the original creator (The Fic May Be Yours, but the Trope Page Is Ours, etc) which this person doesn't seem to be. Might be worth a tap on the shoulder to see what they were thinking.

If there's no actual depiction of the character in the videos, then the character shouldn't have an image. And I'm pretty sure the only people who can make "executive decisions" are the mods and admins.

To clarify, there are depictions of the characters in the videos, someone just chose to use official D&D art instead of the versions that Puffin drew for the videos.

I think they are simply using "executive" to mean "unilateral", a common enough misuse today. Take this to Image Pickin'to handle.

Looking at the page's full history, it looks like Sana Naryon did a lot of work on this character page, so I'm wondering if there might be some degree of page ownership going on here... is there a specific notifier I should send, or should I just send them a PM mentioning this conversation (or bring it up in the page's discussion thread, or bring it up in Image Pickin' and let them know about it... this is my first time doing something involving page images and I don't want to get it wrong).

Edit: not actually a double-post. Teach me to ATT at work!
