No. Image Pickin -> New Thread -> Changed w/o Discussion
Also the actual practice is we can't use fanart without asking the artist.

^ Gotcha. I’ll make a thread for it.
The page image for A Brother's Price looks to have been changed a couple months ago from a fanart (which had been posted with permission) depicting the main character to the book cover, which is apparently inaccurate. The change was made [[here https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/article_history.php?article=Literature.ABrothersPrice#edit34972807]] by Oratel, with the edit reason “ TVT practice is to use official images when applicable, regardless of accuracy.”
The reason seems kosher to me, but I can’t find any discussion of it on Image Pickin’ and there’s no note on the page about it. Is this the kind of change that can be made without a discussion in the forum?
