What did the 2 no votes say? I imagine that will give you an idea.

And what was the reason for decline? More times then not there is usually at least a generic reason for the decline.

We don't go by majority here... we go by whether or not the contribution follows the rules.

Sometimes (rarely) submissions get declined for no reason at all. There are no "no" votes, the reason given is unrelated to the submission, and there might even be a few "yes" votes. Sometimes (even more rare) bad submissions are accepted, with valid "no" votes with obvious reasons why the submission ought to be rejected.

The screeners are human, and capable of making an error.

If the reasons given by the screeners and the "no" voters seem odd, you might try resubmission, but I highly doubt that it would be accepted. Valid reasons for any tiny aspect of the submission to be rejected will block acceptance of any otherwise good parts of a submission.

Read why there were "no" votes. Consider changing the submission to overcome those objections.

Submit good improvements to the database and they will be accepted and we will all rejoice.

What is the criteria for declines of contributions?

If something I submitted gets 4 Yes and 2 No's and says "Declined", then why?

Scottie:
Never ignore a No vote, If it is valid you should fix the problem and not just depend on the majority, leaving someone else a problem that still needs fixing.

Getting in the mood for the Olympics, no doubt. 

They have a senior Olympics, although I don't know the age what they do.

there was no reason listed that i could see as declined by admin. one no vote just said the existing looked better.

If it was for a cover scan then "better" is a subjective term. It seems that the Screener felt that the "No" votes were valid enough to decline.

Edit: I see TheMadMartian said the same but in more depth.

Yeah... cover scans make all the difference in the world. They are so subjective that there is no  reason to be concerned about them. What I do is if it goes through great... if not... that is fine too... I just lock mine locally and move on (as I obviously like mine better if I try to change it).
