This is a proposal for an automatic process run by Eagle 101 to resize oversized non-free images according to [[WP:NFC#3b]]
The concept is very simple. We have ~8,000 - 9,000+ (using higher thresholds, we get 5000+ to cleanup) oversized non-free images. By this I mean the images are obviously too large, and we can make these images smaller by resizing them down to the size of the thumbnail on the image page. For example, lets consider [[:Image:Logchart.jpg]]. Its 7,808 × 4,448 pixels, very large for an unfree image. As such, this should be resized to a smaller number. I've arbitrarally chosen the size of the thumbnail itself to be the new size, that would be 800 × 456 pixels. Quite a difference in size eh :).
The bot will do all the work of resizing the image to the correct size (a ratio from the thumbnail size), and uploading this new revised image to the encyclopedia. The only tag that I can forsee the bot needing to apply is directly to the image page itself, so that an administrator can come along and delete the old oversized revisions. Thistag is {{t1|furd}}, fair use reduced. If we desire, we can have the bot notify the uploaders, but in this case I feel this is overkill as there will be no noticable differences to the image inthe article.
The bot will resize all images larger then <s>360,000</s> 500,000 square pixels, this can be changed and adjusted if need be. <s>360,000</s> 500,000 pixels is equivalent to a
Again, the bot should have no effect on how existing images render in the articles themselves, just the full sized image will be reduced. As such I ask that this bot be allowed to operate at about 3 uploads per minute until the backlog is cleared. This will require about 40-50 hours of operation.
