It seems weird that if any one of them posted it, it would've been fine. Not trying to be disrespectful. I've just had a slew of attempted uploads get waved aside while I'm genuinely trying to climb out of my hole of deletions. I made some bad judgments calls early on, but my Pokemon Cynthia post #4602446 barely was given a chance and post #4602648 and post #4604114 (both parent and child) Cynthia and Marnie are all about to get deleted. I get it's subjective, but they're clearly comparable in quality to most posts, whether queued or not, with no significant errors.
They are kinda... well... borderline. Arms look weird and 'noodly', particular around the shoulders and elbows.
Edit: I've TL'd the artist commentary for both. May help (though they are kinda generic), so... best not to keep your hopes up.
Edit2: I took the liberty of going through your uploads to figure out your general preferences (sorry if it's being intrusive). Overall, I'd say that if you want to "climb out of your hole of deletions" (i.e. build up a comfortable base of approved uploads), then uploading posts from gen (enji) should be safe 'shoo throughs' most of the time, like what you did for post #4608093. If you really want to play it safe, you can upload only from the artist's Pixiv account, because a decent number of approvers have a tendency not to approve the Twitter version if it gets 'sniped' by a Pixiv version of the same while the former is still in the mod queue.
If you want cow-print bikinis in particular, you can do a search on Pixiv for 牛柄ビキニ 10000users入り , which will give you a list of Pixiv posts tagged "Cow-print bikini" (on Pixiv) that also have at least 10000 bookmarks (by Pixiv users). It's kinda like a hacky way of doing the equivalent of a favcount:>=X search here.
You can also swap out 10000users入り for 5000users入り 1000users入り or 500users入り or 100users入り, for the corresponding bookmark counts. This is kinda hacky because Pixiv uses a separate tag for this, so only some of the 'common' number denominations are "well-tagged". Something like 200users入り will give barely any results.
Generally, the larger the number (the more Pixiv bookmarks), the higher 'quality' the post tends to be (by Danbooru standards), and the higher the chances of it getting approved. But higher numbers also mean they are more likely to be noticed by other Danbooru users, and as such they also have a higher chance of already been uploaded (and approved). So searching with 10000users入り will mean you probably need to go through a lot of Pixiv posts before you find one that hasn't been uploaded yet.
If you have an actual Pixiv subscription, then this becomes easier because filtering by number of "bookmark count tags" is integrated within the Pixiv search feature (but accessible only by subscribed users). No need to rely on hacky tags then. Think the subscription also allows access to more sorting options, though I am less sure about this part.
