User:TedEdwards/Game of Thrones image removal

N.B. I frequently say an image is "easily described in words". Don't take this too literally, you can describe any image in words. What I mean is that the image doesn't add anything more from simply describing the image in words (and therefore describe the scene in the plot summary), and I couldn't find any other good reason to keep the image.

Season 1

"Winter Is Coming" – Removed – Image didn't add anything that couldn't be described in words in the plot summary i.e. Ned prepares to execute Will (with Robb, Theon, Bran and Ser Rodrik). Not subject of much critical discussion.
"The Kingsroad" – Removed – A good use of a non-free image would be a close up photo of a direwolf, and compare it with a free image of a Northern Inuit Dog, to show production info mentioned in article (probably not in infobox though). However image was not a close of a direwolf, and so a comparison cannot not be done easily.
"Lord Snow" – Removed – Nothing relevant to image was mentioned outside plot summary.
"Cripples, Bastards, and Broken Things" – Removed – Image didn't add anything that couldn't be described in words in the plot summary i.e. Tyrion is arrested.
"The Wolf and the Lion" – Removed – Image didn't add anything that couldn't be described in words in the plot summary i.e. Jaime swordfights with Ned. Not mentioned outside plot summary.
"A Golden Crown" – Removed – Image didn't add anything that couldn't be described in words in the plot summary i.e. Drogo about to pour molten gold over Viserys. While it was arguebly the first major death (that would need sourcing), it didn't show any performance etc. and stuff relevant to production.
"You Win or You Die" – Removed – The caption refering to where the show gets it's name from is a good reason to keep the image... if it was sourced.
"The Pointy End" – Kept – Changed my mind after remembering that the scene shown wasn't originally scripted. I added some info about this in the writing section. Extending caption also, not to meet NFCC in any way, but to make the image more useful by linking paragraph in writing section to image in the reader's mind (same reason I want caption to stay extended in Fire and Blood).
"Baelor" – Removed – Obviously a pivotal moment in the series, but easily described in words.
"Fire and Blood" – Kept – What Psantora and Flyer22 Reborn have said, but also first sight, so opportune time to show, of dragon hatchlings.

Season 2

"The North Remembers" – Removed – I really can't tell what the image is supposed to show, it's just a random shot of Daenerys.
"The Night Lands" – Removed – Can be described in words, and is just "talking heads" really, to quote Masem.
"What Is Dead May Never Die" – Removed – Such a distant shot that you can't see what's going on really. Also not mentioned outside plot summary except possibly indirectly.
"Garden of Bones" – Removed – Only thing mentioned outside plot summary is that set was built in a quarry, so not a real set of gates. Can be described in words.
"The Ghost of Harrenhal" – Removed – Easily described in words, and shadow creature was not discussed in this article outside plot summary.
"The Old Gods and the New" – Removed – Clearly an image for the sake of one, and doesn't even show the caption implies it should show. Easily described in words.
"A Man Without Honor" – Removed – Easily described in words, and also not mentioned outside plot summary.
"The Prince of Winterfell" – Removed – Really don't get the point of this image, appears to be for the sake of it.
"Blackwater" – Kept – Doesn't need caption edit, as it's obviously got something to do with visual effects. First sight of wildfire (a recurring theme) and good info in article on creating the effect.
"Valar Morghulis" – Removed – Same image used on White Walker, and therefore not needed here.

Season 3

"Valar Dohaeris" – Removed – No info about dragons or this scene outside plot summary. Can't see dragon properly, so not good to show what the dragon looks like even.
"Dark Wings, Dark Words" – Removed – Image could be described in words.
"Walk of Punishment" – Removed – While moment is pivotal, it can be described in words.
"And Now His Watch Is Ended" – Removed – While the scene was subject of much critical discussion, this one image doesn't really convey what was being complimented e.g. Clarke speaking Valyrian and much of the visual effects.
"Kissed by Fire" – Removed – Do not need image to show Hound is scared of fire
"The Climb" – Removed – Image could be described in words, and not mentioned outside plot summary.
"The Bear and the Maiden Fair" – Image could be described in words.
"Second Sons" – Removed – Image could be described in words.
"The Rains of Castamere" – Kept – Image really conveys Fairly's acclaimed performance.
"Mhysa" – Kept – This image does show what critics were getting and hard to describe scene without picture.

Season 4

"Two Swords" – Removed – Image does not convey wing motions of dragon, so it's just having an image for the sake of it.
"The Lion and the Rose" – Kept – Seeing Joffrey's dead face is helpul to understand what the caption alludes to.
"Breaker of Chains" – Removed – Image for the sake of it.
"Oathkeeper" – Kept – As Night King was played by two actors, this is a good time to show the Night King as played by the first actor, as image is not on Night King.
"First of His Name" – Removed – Screenshot for sake of it clearly.
"The Laws of Gods and Men" – Removed – Image doesn't show anything that can't be described in words.
"Mockingbird" – Removed – Easy just to say she was pushed out of the Moon door in plot summary.
"The Mountain and the Viper" – Removed – Almost O.K. to keep, but it doesn't quite show the style of fighting. If it did, I would support keeping the image.
"The Watchers on the Wall" – Removed – Does convey perfomances of two actors, but nothing's mentioned of that in critical reception section.
"The Children" – Removed – Image doesn't show anything that can't be described in words.

Season 5

"The Wars to Come" – Removed – Image didn't add anything, and wasn't discussed in other sections.
"The House of Black and White" – Removed – While image does show temple, the scene isn't the subject of discussion in the article, and therefore I don't believe warrants use of a non-free image.
"High Sparrow" – Removed – All that needs to be said is Janos was beheaded in plot summary.
"Sons of the Harpy" – Removed – Image is just many collapsed/dead people, so necessary info can easily be described in plot summary.
"Kill the Boy" – Removed – Pointless image, doesn't add anything.
"Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken" – Kept - With reference to controversy in caption, to link reader's mind to critical reception section. Image also effectively shows Allen's acclaimed performance (and I'm wondering why I removed it in the first place).
"The Gift" – Removed – Pointless image, doesn't add anything.
"Hardhome" – Removed – With image of Brake playing Night King on Oathkeeper, image not necessary for that reason. Also, it doesn't show any production details.
"The Dance of Dragons" – Removed – I might support a different picture that encapsulates more of the scene, but this image doesn't quite do it as it's pretty close up.
"Mother's Mercy" – Removed – Info about body double used etc. could be achieved with image of Cersei actually doing the walk (reminder of WP:CENSOR i.e. nudity's O.K.), but showing her before the walk I don't think adds anything.

Season 6

"The Red Woman" – Removed – Melisandre's true form can be described as just "old" (image doesn't add much). Don't think reader's can appreciate the production details of a body double with this particular image. Image would definitely not be needed if my suggestion for "Mother's Mercy" is accepted.
"Home" – Removed – Might be pivotal, but picture doesn't say anything more than words.
"Oathbreaker" – Removed – Image for sake of it.
"Book of the Stranger" – Removed – No production info can be gained from this image.
"The Door" – Removed – This image shows less than can be described in words I reckon.
"Blood of My Blood" – Removed – I don't think Benjen is a major enough character to need a photo of him.
"The Broken Man" – Removed – Image focuses only on Sandor, and we have an image at Sandor Clegane.
"No One" – Image deleted on April 21 after FfD
"Battle of the Bastards" – Removed – This image didn't really show much cinemantography, so not worth keeping.
"The Winds of Winter" – Changed – There was a image of Cersei be crowned lower down, which made reference to costume design, so worth keeping for this article.

Season 7

"Dragonstone" – Removed – Image doesn't show anything more than characters.
"Stormborn" – Removed – While scene was praised, this particular image just needs words to describe. Also, it's not clear if cinematography is being praised, that could warrant an overview shot of the ambush.
"The Queen's Justice" – Removed – Image is just talking heads.
"The Spoils of War" – Removed – This particular image didn't really link up with any production/critical info, but other images of Loot Train Attack could
"Eastwatch" – Removed – Showed nothing of value really.
"Beyond the Wall" – Removed – Scene depicted doesn't link with anything outside plot summary.
"The Dragon and the Wolf" – Removed – Image doesn't show anything not conveyed in article.

Season 8

"Winterfell" – Removed – Scene was not refered to outside plot summary, pretty much irrelevant.
"A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" – Removed – Image can have been described in words.
"The Long Night" – Removed – This particular scene wasn't referred to anywhere in article, and it doesn't aid the article and seems like a pretty random image for the sake of it.
"The Last of the Starks" – Removed – Scene shown in image wasn't discussed outside plot summary.
