Article Image

@JBchrch: Fair enough in regards to your reason for removing the GameStop stock graph, but do you think that there should be a fitting image to go with this article? Maybe an example of a meme stock? Best, Tyrone Madera (talk) 18:25, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Tyrone Madera: I've been trying to think about this since last night, and frankly, I have trouble coming up with something good or interesting. Ideally, I would like for the image to comply with MOS:LEADIMAGE according to which the image should "give readers visual confirmation that they've arrived at the right page". So exit, for instance, the WSB logo, the Gamestop logo or the AMC logo etc... Personally, I'm fine with having an unillstrated article. But if you have any ideas, feel free to be bold about it and/or we can discuss. JBchrch talk 01:35, 17 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

JBchrch, What about an image under the History section? That wouldn't be a lede image. Tyrone Madera (talk) 04:51, 17 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
