Cropping

[edit]

Hi, noticed you cropped File:Gorsehill water tower 1 cropped.jpg, you may benefit from installing Commons:CropTool under your preferences-gadgets as it greatly speeds up the process (unless the tool doesn't work on an image every now and then) copying all relevant licensing, it also adds {{Extracted from}} and {{Extracted image}} to help attribution.

I work on an iPhone with the website appearance changed so that changing an images categories on Wikimedia can be done quicker, so I have to do it this way. What I lose in filling attribution; I can make up for saving full res pic then cropping, adjusting and attaching the file quickly from my phone photos which tends to have a number of adjusters that I am well versed in. If I put a thumbnail in the source field when filling it out it tends to fill a lot of the attribution in (depending on the pic) and 9/10 I end up looking over it and ending up with a better attribution than the Wikimedia original file by looking at the original source and or finding the roundabout location within a few decimal points on Google maps as to where it was taken.
