Please crop your coin photos if you want them to be used in the catalogue!

I cannot stress this enough!

If you want your picture of your coin to be the pictorial representative of it's type in the Numista catalogue, then I feel this is an imperative responsibility for you; please, PLEASE, PLEASE crop your photos! Especially (read: most of the time) when you're trying to replace an already cropped photo. It is unfair on the users of the catalogue and whoever has to work on cropping another pair of pictures.

The conditions I look at for deciding if a new photo should replace an old one are 1) if the coin depicted is an example in better condition, 2) if the photo quality is better or worse, and 3) if either is already cropped or not. 1) and 2) are to at least some degree, subjective, and should be up to the referee, but 3) is absolutely non-negotiable to me. I have had a bunch of annoying requests in the past from new users who want to upload their blurry pictures to replace perfectly good ones taken from cgb.fr which absolutely infuriated me; I mean what were they thinking?

So I would like something to the effect of the above to be included in guidelines for editing the catalogue, and given how those offending request-makers probably don't read it too often, perhaps also included below the "upload a new photo" option when editing a coin.

Surely as a referee, you are there to help the catalogue grow bigger and better. Some of us old'uns have very little knowledge of how to crop photographs.
I have added over 1,000 coins new coins and there has been no problems, or indeed when I have added just photographs of a coin already listed.
I think that if you pursue this line of thought, you may lose out on future additions.

It is indeed true that catalogue looks better with cropped images, although there are many coins where any image is a win for catalogue.

@COINMAN1
You have a point, but I assume you added (uncropped) photographs for new coins' pages, or pages of existing coins that didn't already have them? In that case, any photo is better than none; I too have submitted uncropped photos when there were none back before I found out how to do it myself, but even then I would privately write to someone who regularly crops coin pictures and request it be done ASAP (or it would be done soon anyway).

I was ranting about the people who request to replace this cropped, existing picture:


with their own uncropped, awful quality picture (just an example from Google):


Maybe I would accept their request if they went through the trouble of cropping their image, or if there wasn't already a better, cropped one on the page, but to simply submit a bad image like that when there is already a more than satisfactory one is just stupid.

Do referents have instructions on this?
For members just follow the 'optional' and 'if possible' tips to attach a photo : guidelines for editing the catalog.
In my opinion, putting a picture on the catalog does not provide the proof that one possesses the piece. It is to offer to all a representative illustration of the detailed description described in the file.
It interests all those who do not have it.
It should respect a minimum of rules, the first being to be readable.
Note that each image of Numista suffers comparison on Google-Search, all the search engines lead to it.
