Standing Guy existing on a chair?

Can we change the caption to that?, It will be very beneficial for everyone. IanisMD (talk) 18:21, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 18:25, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What about "Standing sitting Guy sitting Guy Standing sitting at the BIEN Congress in 2012"? Lallint 18:09, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No. We aren't going to make any memes about his name. This has been discussed to death in the archives. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 18:16, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Change Caption

I know we already had an edit war about this, but "Standing at the BIEN Congress in 2012" kind of makes it sound like it means "[Here he is] standing at the BIEN Congress in 2012", rather than the intended "[Guy] Standing at the BIEN Congress in 2012". I think we should change the caption to "Guy Standing at the BIEN Congress in 2012", to clarify. --ISometimesEatBananas (talk) 22:23, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This was discussed in 2023. While I apparently supported it then I'm leaning against it now. We normally refer to people only by surname. We should hold fast against the tide of memes (so to speak) and follow exactly the same rules here as we would for someone with a different name. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 00:56, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
