Image Galleries

There is a fine line between this category and its sister category, Personal Pages, since many sites contain a collection of images as well as personal information about a collector.

An Image Gallery is typically a collaborative effort, assembling pictures from various collections and sources and organizing them in such a way as to produce a definitive resource on its subject.

Sites containing images whose primary commonality is ownership (i.e., "here are some pictures of my collection") should instead be submitted to Personal Pages.

License plate collecting is a "niche" hobby similar to stamp collecting, coin collecting, etc. Collectors often specialize in specific years, states/provinces/countries, themes, or variations.

Personal Pages

There is a fine line between this category and its sister category, Image Galleries, since many sites contain a collection of images as well as personal information about a collector.

A Personal Page is typically an introduction to an individual collector's collecting passions. While it almost surely includes a "gallery" of license plates, the images serve only to represent the collector's own interests, rather than to provide a comprehensive resource on a broad subject area.

Sites that intend on compiling and reorganizing images from multiple collectors into a thorough resource for a specific subject area (i.e. "we're going to get all the Nebraska collectors to submit their pictures and put together the best darn Nebraska license plate website anybody's ever seen") should be submitted to Image Galleries.
