Hey guys, this is the new official thread to post your requests for changing a default image on a page in the database. The default image is the image on the right of each article page, giving you a visual representation of what that particular page is about.
Found an article with a low-quality, incorrect or down-right unacceptable image? Post your requests to get them changed here!
 

A few tips on what images to use

Movies - Please try to use original release posters for movies rather than DVD or Blu-ray covers.
Characters - Please use an image of the actual character, not just the actor/actress who plays them.

How to request an image change

  • A link to the wiki page
  • A link to the new image
  • A reason for the proposed change (e.g: bad quality, incorrect image)
 
Staff, moderators and any users with over 5000 points can change these images for you. Once you have 5000 points you have the power to change default images yourself.
Anybody completing these requests please leave a reply to the user who requested the change here, that way everyone will know it's been taken care of, thanks!

@GoombahMike: You need to add that image to that page before I can set it as the default image.
@Mushir: Done.
@Olivaw: Done, though an English poster would be preferable. And done.
@damswedon: Done and done.
