On stickers:
Should stickers be treated, for part authoring purposes, as if they were
printed on the parts? If so, should we indicate somehow that the part is
stickered as opposed to printed?
And on certification (on LDraw.org's parts tracker):
I've noticed that some parts are reviewed and certified by the author. Is
this okay, or should we only certify parts done by others?
Also, should we only certify parts that we actually possess? Or is a
technical review and a once-over on the appearance okay?
Lastly... I'm not terribly proficient with checking files. I primarily use
Notepad, with MLCAD as a viewer, when authoring parts. My question is
whether I should be certifying parts or not. I kinda feel like I'm not
qualified, but when I look at the list of parts I want to help- there are a
lot of files there and I'd love to help speed them into the hands of LDraw
users. I guess I'm asking whether I should not review parts at all, whether
I should just go for it, or whether I should use my judgement to determine
what parts are too complex for me to fairly judge.
(By the way- in the future, should I ask parts tracker usage questions on
the org.ldraw group?)
Thanks,

| In some cases, like attached to rounded surfaces, I think the only way is to solve the problem is to create a part-with-sticker file. A sticker could be attached in many more or less creative ways, and I think the modeller should have the freedom to (...) (23 years ago, 22-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| (...) My take on this is that self-certification is a small perk for people who take the time to review *other* people's parts, and help newer authors along. (...) Generally, you should only certify parts that you actually possess. But if you find a (...) (23 years ago, 22-Feb-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
