A photograph is a work of art. You wouldn't crop The Mona Lisa and so I don't believe it is good practice to crop others' photos. Cropping for specific uses like a newspaper is fine, but not for an encyclopaedia.

We're an encyclopaedia, not an archival site or an art gallery, so if deadspace is making the encyclopedic value of an image worse, yes, I think we should crop it. What extra value does the shoulder provide? —
