:::Right, but you have to understand, wikipedia already resizes images to display in articles. :) I would understand if I were taking jpg images and compressing them to something like 99% compression. We would be losing visual quality. I don't think anyone can dispute our right to resize images. —— '''[[user:Eagle 101|<font color="navy">Eagle</font><font color="red">101]]'''</font><sup>[[user_talk:Eagle 101|Need help?]]</sup> 10:33, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
:::I should also note that the folks we are taking non-free images from really don't get much say in the matter, as long as we follow all the relevant laws, which as I believe, our policies are a superset of those laws. If folks were able to tell us we were not allowed to resize images, we would not be able to make thumbnails of them at all for display in the articles. If you really feel this is an issue, and these folks can place that limit on us, take the issue up on the proper policy page. The way I see it, if they told us we were not allowed to use the images at all, we could still use it, as long as our use fits within the constraints of "fair use". If you think resizing images is an issue, I'll emphasize, take it up on the image policy pages, that is something that would need resolved project wide. —— '''[[user:Eagle 101|<font color="navy">Eagle</font><font color="red">101]]'''</font><sup>[[user_talk:Eagle 101|Need help?]]</sup> 13:58, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
::::You are right, they can't force us (and are probably not really worried about our use), it's just that one of the (main) reasons we have the policy of making our images as small as possible is to follow the law and avoid problems, while we have here one "supplier" of fair use images who prefers to have the images not too small (understandable, from an artistic point of view). It's hard to please everyone, isn't it? Anyway, I am quite happy with the proposed bot, so I'll shut up now. [[User:Fram|Fram]] ([[User talk:Fram|talk]]) 16:03, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
