Backlog of edits in the Patrol Queue.

Hey yall,

Spent a few days adding photos to device pages without photos, was wondering if someone could just check them through and make sure they are up to par. They have been in the patrol queue for about a week now, and just wanted to get those device photos added before I continue.

@krisrodriguez maybe you can help me?

Thank you so much in advance!

First off, thank you so much for all the work you’ve been doing lately—seriously. We’ve noticed your contributions on the backend and have been chatting about how thoughtful and consistent your edits have been. You’re doing great work, and we’re lucky to have you jumping in and helping build out the image library for these device pages.

To your original question: the reason those edits haven’t been approved yet is because we noticed a few things about the image formatting that could use a quick cleanup before we move them through the patrol queue. A lot of the photos are close-cropped with very little white space around the device, which makes them feel a bit out of step with other images on the page. In some cases, the image angle is off or there’s a watermark present, which makes the device harder to identify at a glance. If you can adjust your images based on this feedback, we can go ahead and approve them.

Here’s what we’re looking for in terms of iFixit-style device images:

  • Clean, centered photos with ample white space around the device
  • Head-on angles (avoid top-down or tilted shots unless necessary)
  • No visible watermarks or distracting backgrounds

If you’re up for tweaking your current images to better match that style, we’d love to get them approved and keep your momentum going.

Thanks again for jumping in with so much energy and care. Please let me know if you have any questions.
