Crop of File:Garrick Ohlsson.jpg

This image had to be manually reviewed as the flickreview robot could not find the image. You had already quickly uploaded the cropped version before the robot could review the original image, so maybe in future you can wait a few minutes. But, by way of information for the future, when you want to crop an image I suggest you use the CropTool instead of doing it manually on your computer an then uploading it. The CropTool is activated in your commons Preferences, under Gadgets and then appears in the left side of your screen. It saves everyone a lot of time because it transfers all the correct and appropriate information into the cropped image, such as source, license, author, etc. If saving as a new image it even leaves a backlink to the original and visa versa so long as the original has been positively reviewed. That way all the proper information is there and does not need to be manually. When you are just cropping a small bit of the image like a frame you can decide to overwrite the original image but for more major crops you should upload the copped version as a separate new image, but you have a choice. I hope you can see how everyone can save time and frustration by using CropTool. Good luck. Ww2censor (talk) 11:53, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

Thank for your message, and sorry for the trouble. I will use the CropTool in the future for all of my cropping. Regards, Zingarese (talk) 05:53, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
