I'm editing a few missing images and refreshing some others. I've been using the outline of a common cartridge edge seen in the database. For example, most all the cartridges downloaded for the Super Famicom have the exact same outline with a different label pasted inside. I really fancy this as I like the uniformity. I've been doing the same recently with GBA and DS carts where they're missing or really distorted (like, the camera is not perfectly squared up over top of the cart) or damaged (the label has major dings and scrapes) or the lighting is poor. I got a couple rejection votes and, while I think it'll go through ultimately, is there a community consensus on what's "original" vs "fan reproduction"? I ask because it seems like 80% of the images in the database are technically reproductions and not literal photographs of physical media.
edit: It could also be that I'm just adding more unnecessary media and that's garnered a rejection, but I'm hesitant to actually submit combined with a deletion of the previous image I'm improving/doctoring.
