ImageResizeBot: main thrust good, but Template:furd not good
Line 19:
* Sounds like a great idea. What program / software will be used to do the reductions? --[[User:MZMcBride|MZMcBride]] ([[User talk:MZMcBride|talk]]) 19:23, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

*I'd say that you should not apply {{tl|furd}}. First, a human should compare the images to make sure that no technical bug caused a significant change to the image as displayed. Second, taking your example image above, the original uploaded already made an editorial decision to use only a fragment of the true original for the image. That editorial decision is a creative act, so it doesn't seem appropriate to eliminate that authorship history. Is there already a better template that indicates that human evaluation is required? If not, I suggest creating one and using it instead. I think the main thrust of the bot task is reasonable. [[User:GRBerry|GRBerry]] 19:29, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
