The next step is to finish updating the EDP.[4]

Clarification of "ND"
The section ND on the Main Page contains the sentence "So changing the resolution of an image is permitted. As are insufficient changes such as trimming non contributory white space around the edge of an image."
I think that we need to be careful with both parts of that statement. Within the spirit of ND, I believe that changing the resolution to match the resolution of the output device is in order (Wikipedia does this all the time, otherwise the files that are downloaded would be huge). However, any other change of resolution could be seen as making a derivative of the original. We should also be careful about trimming "non-contributory white space ...". Part of the conditions of the images that I will be uploading is that the space surrounding the image must be retained. I will be making that section transparent, but having four dots at the corner to ensure that the image is properly displayed. Martinvl (talk) 17:35, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
