Third-party edits not in the "Prohibited Content" section above.
Duplicates.
Bad anatomy.

the prohibition of fine art is not listed anywhere in the upload rules, check fine_art to see the approved posts of art similar to my post.

Danbooru is primarily for anime-related content but that doesn't mean that is absolutely the case, there are exceptions to the rule depending on the quality of the art.

post #7581535 was already justifiably approved before and has wrongfully been downvoted, so I'm asking for someone to approve this post again.

You said it yourself, it's not against the rules, but since it's definitely out of the primary scope of danbooru it's up to approver's discretion to decide whether it's sufficiently on-topic, and given the 19 approvers who've looked at the post as of writing, the consensus seems to be "no".

got it.

The rules MATTER, however, even if a post doesn't actively break any rule, Approvers can choose actively to not approve it for different reasons. This thread is dedicated precisely to get feedback from Approvers and other users with experience to improve your uploads, or to understand why certain post got deleted, although the answer is not always satisfactory. Every uploader must face Approvers, and you accept that as soon as you start uploading.

Maybe too sketchy for the standards of the site, but not enough bad to qualify as bad quality. And your tagging is not bad for a novice; while tagging is completely essential and not optional, note that most of the Approvers focus on the quality of the post and the tagging abilities are rarely taken into consideration when approving.

My God, to tell if 5 other arts from same artist (hence the same artstyle) getting refusal.... Damn

got it.

Just because the rules don't explicitly say something is against the rules doesn't mean anyone is obligated to approve it. You have admitted to knowing this multiple times, and yet you keep creating situations where even users with younger accounts than yours have to explain this to you like you made your account yesterday.

Also since nobody else said it yet, this thread is not a place for people to beg for their uploads to be approved. It's for getting feedback.
