1968 Panini Cantanti Non-Sport Forum

The best source of scans for this set has temporarily enabled saving the images directly, so the vast majority of the images I had already uploaded are about to be replaced by significantly better images. The entire set will have been uploaded except for the high number cartoons. Gonna do half now  half later. My apologies to anyone who took the time to inspect the earlier uploads.

Hold up...it looks like once an image is uploaded for a card, it can't be replaced by a better one? Am I missing something? Is there a subtle button to click I'm not seeing? TCDB wants the best images available, no?

Once you can approve images yourself, you can replace your own images. Otherwise, you have to submit an IR to have the image removed, but that should really only be done if the image is wrong or really bad, because that requires the work of multiple higher permissions individuals who are actually busy working other IRs.  So my suggestion is to keep those images on hold until you gain self approval privileges.

Good to know, thanks for the explanation. What criteria have to be met to become able to upload images yourself?

The threshold is not public knowledge.  Here is the link to the criteria - https://www.tcdb.com/Permissions.cfm?MODE=Processing&ACTION=Review. Basically, keep submitting images that are properly cropped.  

Allow me to clear up a couple things that were not correctly relayed here (in case anyone else is reading this).

1 - There is no numerical threshold for submitting images and then gaining self-approval permission. A good solid track record will get you noticed and get you access.

2 - Images that are sub-par will not be removed. They will be tagged for replacement* and once tagged, anyone will have links to upload replacement images.
* - Images that violate the guidelines (photographed, low resolution, incomplete, too crooked, etc.) will get tagged. Images that do not violate the guidelines will not be tagged for replacement. We will make an exception if you are reporting your own images. For instance, if I submit an IR to get one of Billy Kingsley's images removed/tagged for replacement, and it's fine (which all of Billy's are), the resolvers should not process it (it should get closed without action), however if I submit it on one of my own because I now have made a better scan, the resolvers will process that.

I think for now I'll take Tscastle's advice and wait to be approved, in order to update the inferior images myself. No sense in creating extra work for others. If I keep uploading nothing but the best scans available, then it probably won't be too long before I get the nod, anyway.
