images back in queue because "cropped"?

Well yes, i say, now look here, i do like to cut my pics into shape, what could possibly be wrong with that?
if i may be so bold as to ask.

Are you talking about photos you have taken yourself, or images you have found on the internet?

they are mine so even if one posted somewhere in the past is different, since they are mine, it doesn't really matter now, does it? or do i get something wrong here? but i guess i get what you are trying to say, like cutting away markings and texts, is that it?

Yeah, so if you were taking your images from another website (as most people do), then you're not allowed to crop them (to remove watermarks, website addresses etc.). So any images that are found in a larger form (uncropped) elsewhere will generally be rejected on that basis.

But if you have taken your uploads yourself, then I don't think cropping should be an issue (as long as the images have a minimum resolution of 720x720).

by the way, you can see my uploads, yes? i which case, this should do the trick https://ibb.co/98cn9t8

Nice scan of an old APS film negative.

With that said, if you're old like me and have taken tons of amateur pics on film, expect a ton of rejections. If you scan a print and a tiny bit of the border shows, the mods call it "cropped". If you're scanning a high ISO negative like ISO 1600 or ISO 3200, expect to have it rejected as "bad quality" as they don't like film grain here. Polaroid scans? Don't even bother. Even if your scan is perfect with zero grain, expect to have it rejected as Pro/Celeb. I'm not sure how the pretty bartender I took a nude pic of in 1993 can be a pro, when her image exists nowhere on the internet. But that's how it goes here. I've given up uploading my film stuff. Its just not wanted here. You can contact a mod and they might put the photo back in the queue, but it will likely get rejected again. At least that's been my experience. Strange rejections are just part of WBW. I stopped letting it get to me.

If you have specific images you want me to review, please message me the info.

it's obvious, rejected ratio of pics is over 50%

I appreciate the offer Sentinel, but I've gone down that road. Omuh has been very kind in putting non pro, up to par pics back in the queue, only to have them rejected a second or third time. I got the hint. I know you guys work on a volunteer basis, so no need to waste time. That same pic was rejected for three different reasons. Crop, celeb/pro, and this was the best, screenshot? lol It was a scan of a Fuji FP-100C instant photo. Again, I got over it. I just upload whatever now. No UA of course.

Sorry for the late reply. I'm the one who rejected your pics as cropped. The reason being that they are, indeed, cropped and an uncropped version can be found on the internet.
If those are yours, then feel free to upload the uncropped versions you've obviously already posted on the internet.

(The only time we accept cropped pics is if you took the picture yourself, directly cropped it and then uploaded it on the internet. Meaning only the "after cropping" version exists on the internet. In your case, uncropped versions are on the internet so the ones you've uploaded on WBW are cropped in comparison).

Here's an attached example (what you posted if at the top, the result at the bottom is the uncropped version)

To be fair, collages or "off/ons" were my first rejections on here as well. It wasn't until I did a forum dive that I learned that they weren't allowed.
The upload guideline makes no mention of those photos not being accepted. I think its been suggested here a time or two that perhaps a sticky with a boldface font in all caps, "REJECTION REASONS" would be helpful. I know that the original guideline appears when you hit the upload button, but its right next to the often ignored Terms of Service. I know I've gotten a lot of "help" from the "feedback" forum, but it was through deep dives of several threads of peoples gripes.

just so you know, i cropped out the backpack and i also have started cropping away parts i don't like but yes, i had pictures uploaded in other places before and so a bunch is swirling around the internet and why not, do i need to go search for the negative of that one too? i have it somewhere. oh by the way, i have no clue what vipergirls is. i also only do this for fun, read comments and thats that so, i don't even get what the deal is here.

We just don't allow cropped pics that's all. Otherwise, we end up with the same pic uploaded several times with different parts cropped, or with the original watermark removed.
Vipergirls is just the website where the uncropped pic was found by the reverse search engine.

While it's not literally written "no collage", those do fall into the "altered/photoshop" category since you need some form of manipulation to put the pics together.
