Line 21:
*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)
**OK, thats reasonable, I would hope the admin would confirm with the furd, but I can see your point. If someone wants to make an alternate template, please do so, as I suck at templates. XD As far as the reduction goes, that image is clearly too large. We can easily reduce the image size to no effect at all on the article proper. Unless I'm missing something of course. :) ''Edit: I should be a little clearer, the program's reduction of the image size in this case will not affect the article at all, see [[Logarithm#See_also]], look to the right.'' —— '''[[user:Eagle 101|<font color="navy">Eagle</font><font color="red">101]]'''</font><sup>[[user_talk:Eagle 101|Need help?]]</sup> 19:33, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
*I don't see any reason why we'd need a huge image, but I would suggest creating a template that you make known to existing users to include on an image page as part of the rationale of why they need an image that large for non-free works. (Technically, this would help us further machine-readible-ize our NFCs, by saying that any image over a certain number of pixels will have the potential to be reduced unless this template, which should include a more descriptive reason for the large size, is included). Then the bot should ignore such images, though I'd recommend that any image that is tagged as such should be looked at closely by an admin and evaluated if the rationale is sane. --[[User:Masem|M<font size="-3">ASEM</font>]] 19:39, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
