This didn't seem too much like a rant compared to others I've seen around here. At first I thought you were seriously going to be ranting against the wiki until I read it.

Anyway, We all gotta start somewhere. The majority of the fanbase starts with recolors and edits. Even I did. You just gotta keep working and improving to get there. Some characters can be original and/or well liked despite looking like an already existing canon character. Take Splice for example; I've gotten good feedback on him because people loved his character, yet the only real flaw (aside from some powers and traits) was his design. Though his quills were supposed to be longer than Sonic's, all the artwork was very inconsistent with the length. Even the sprites were kind of dubious.

In the end, I did revamp the design. You can go on ahead and try to fix that, too.

Still, I don't like seeing this place flooded with recolors and edits, either. To be honest I was thinking of enforcing a rule to completely ban recolors from this entire site, but...meh. I don't know if that'll be able to go through.
