Having the approval to submission to final spotlight turn around time be short gets people's spotlights up quickly; generally within 1-3 weeks of the request being made. That does serve the communities effectively.

As I've already said, requested spotlights are only offered at all under the condition that Wikia staff have the final say in what actually is used in them. If you dislike the spotlight that much I can always ask that it be taken down. However they are also usually quite happy to correct any errors. I'm not sure if "fan art" is an error but I doubt it was a deliberate choice, so if you can provide an image that is "official" I'll be happy to ask if they can switch it out and see what they say.

The best choice is just a good-sized, high-resolution image that has a reasonably simple structure (you want something very graphic/iconic that catches the eye). If they are willing to swap it out, they will crop it down to the spotlight size for you so don't worry about that.
