Crop tag

Instead of threatening to revert the banner image, why doesn't Wikivoyage just go ahead and crop/resize it itself? —The preceding comment was added by 103.253.114.60 (talk • contribs)

Because offspec banners need to be fixed or tracked so they can be fixed later, but not everyone who finds one knows how or has time to fix it immediately, so they mark it so others can find and fix it, which we invariably try to do. But keep in mind that people may not find a good way to make a banner out of some pictures offered, and those tend to get removed. Not every picture is suitable for making a good 7:1 banner. The one currently on this page, for example, will probably be a challenge to save. I would imagine that cutting it to 7:1 would either put great emphasis on the power lines or remove most of the interesting things from the picture. Texugo (talk) 13:11, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Wow, thanks for the detailed answer!
