The only thing I have found, WP wise, about image captions and crediting is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Captions#Tips_for_describing_pictures. There is no hard or fast rule about it, but I removed cases in the past of people who put themselves in the image captions to demand credit.<br><br>Regards,
