Parts 35442 and 35449 were just added to the catalog. They are currently named
"Plate, Modified [size] with [amount] Flower Petals".

 
Part No: 35442  Name: Plate, Round 2 x 2 Gear 6 Tooth
* 
35442 Plate, Round 2 x 2 Gear 6 Tooth
Parts: Plate, Round
[p=35449]

If you look at how these parts are used, then they are actually gear wheels.
Should the name not be "Plate, Modified [size] with [amount] Gear Tooth"?

Happy New Year.

This image discrepancy thing does appear throughout the catalog.

It looks like any time there was a condition where the large image contributor
and the small image contributor were not the same, the large image contributor's
large image has slotted into the small image contributor's small image gallery.
At least one of mine is in Randy's gallery, a number of other people's
images are in Jen's gallery...it goes on.

I have a suspicion there's some other related gremlin somewhere in the works,
but I can't fathom it other than to note that sometimes the large images
are also somehow awry.

Example:
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?id=66490#T=C&C=10
The dbg image accessed via the popup is mine, and credited to me.
The gray image accessed via the popup is NOT mine, and credited to me...or at
least appears to be...or cannot be determined.

Sometimes
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page
(with no color specified for the part) on entering the page, the large image
space is empty, other times it's populated with (I guess) a default image.

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=41855#T=C
I see a default (medium blue?) image, and at the bottom of the page I get a credit
for a large image. The red image here is mine, this blue one is not.

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=30358#T=C&C=2
This one defaults with a small white straked image (no color selected), I get
credit for the large image.

I thought the attribution dynamically changed on this page when you changed the
selected color of the piece from the popdown, but right now I can't find
where that's happening...but it may be effected with some pieces and not
others. In any event, the behavior on this page is inconsistent and seems to
have something to do with whether or not there's a "default" small image...which
is probably a misnomer. For example, as far as I can tell there are no "small"
images for
 
Part No: 650  Name: Hinge Coupling Nylon - Two Connected 2 x 2 Plates
* 
650 Hinge Coupling Nylon - Two Connected 2 x 2 Plates
Parts: Hinge

Can't figure out how to back-trace any of these pictures to their creators...

...hmm...guessing that the large image attribution is for whatever image occupies
that second vertical thumbnail position there...

Some of this might just be a UI problem where something isn't coded properly,
and with the 53588pb01 I doubt there is a gray version at all, just a dbg (this
was hashed about in the forum not too long ago).

Anyway, I've spent about as much time as I care to looking at this issue.
All I really know is something or things has gone wrong somewhere, and I suggest
you want to sort it out before any more images get put into the system and possibly
mispositioned.

Also, I don't want to be wrongly credited for someone else's contribution.
That's just not right.

You and the StormChaser may want to consider holding off adding any new images
until you can sort out what's going on.

Minifig No: ow012  Name: Mercy (Angela Ziegler)
* 
ow012 (Inv) Mercy (Angela Ziegler)
Minifigures: Overwatch

The picture for this fig is wrong. 1st her head sucks in comparison to what's
shown (but not really the point here).

2nd and most importantly, she needs at least the clear neck piece, if not the
full wing assembly

 
Minifig No: ow013  Name: Pharah (Fareeha Amari)
* 
ow013 (Inv) Pharah (Fareeha Amari)
Minifigures: Overwatch

This fig has special shoulder armor that has some studs on the back for the other
pieces.

______
Not a picture issue:

[m=ow014]

This one is up to the admins. The 1st assembly shown in instructions is the
standard w/ legs. I think this version is a good addition to the catalog, but
it may not fit the catalog policies.
