[Commons-l] intelligence in flagging

Mon Jul 10 21:32:58 UTC 2006

I just logged in to commons, and found a note reporting a problem with 
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Bush_War_Budget_2003-crop.jpg

This, as noted in the text, is a crop of 
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Bush_War_Budget_2003.jpg
which is found to be 
public domain.

Those paying close attention will note that the cropped image also has special code in
the title, ("-crop") indicating that its a crop of another image. Nevertheless the
image got flagged. 

This presents itself as a problem as Ive noticed a certain automation, and sadly a lack
of intelligence, 
in flagging particular images. A more productive usage of time would be to simply
reference the 
given link, and add the appropriate information.
