"''The previously proposed project suggested renaming all images and possibly some part through it changing the manual of style (arguably the rules), while this current proposal instead suggest changing the manual of style first so that users have to conform to the pattern. In short, the end result of both movements is the same but just a different order of event and different people working.

I see this way it is appealing to those users who don't want too much work and also gives the implication that the admins will later rename all images that do not conform to the manual of style.''

So your first opposition is that this will change our Manual of Style and it then gives the implication that it will create work for admins afterwards. If your intuition is right, then how does that affect you? I can understand that argument if it was coming from an admin and they didn't want to do the work, but since you are not an admin why would it matter to you if they had work to do work or not? Plus, this isn't actually asking for admins to go and change the names of images, it is only asking to change the Manual of Style. You should judge this post on what it is asking, not what you assume it is implying.

Your second opposition is that you believe this naming of images will not be used by very many people. Well what if a single person uses it? Would that not make it worth it? Because the what your statement seems to mean is that the work (renaming the images) will outweigh the result (people using it to search images, etc). But if the work is nothing (because really, you don't have to put in any effort if this proposal goes through) then it is automatically outweighed by any good result at all.

As a post script, I would like to note that I'm not trying to sound like a jerk when I make a rebuttal to your post. I just read mine over and can imagine it coming off as very rude to some people, but I assure you that is not the intent :) So don't get angry or feel like this is a personal attack, because I promise you it is not.
