In the strictest sense, a preservation of the GOUT would be a rip of the DVD, available online after GOUT discs are no longer available in stores. It would preserve the GOUT release for future viewing, and nothing more. By that very, very strict definition of a preservation, V3 is not a preservation, because it is not an exact copy of the GOUT. It has been resized/cropped so as to appear correctly on widescreen TVs, and the colors have been fixed. Now, I think we all agree that this was a really great idea, because it puts the GOUT looking a whole lot more like the theatrical version, as it should, but it doesn't meet the strictest possibly definition of a preservation.

Thankfully, we're not using that strict of a definition of "preservation" on this forum.

This was what I was getting at.

plus this section is preservations and "other fan projects" so it is covered.

Yes, but you called it a fan edit.  And don't get me wrong, as I love fan edits, but to a lot of people that term carries a negative connotation due to a (sometimes justified) perception of sloppy work.
