Good catch.  Perhaps this needs cross posted to AN and VPT for centralized
discussion onwiki?  Would you like to spear that?

I responded:

"My apologies on behalf of Wikipedia and Wikimedia! I've emailed to
wikien-l and commons-l about this post, asking for suggestions on how
we can do better on this sort of thing. There's an editorial habit on
English Wikipedia of not putting attributions on photos in the
articles themselves, leaving that to the image page ... I think that's
a matter for discussion as well."


I think we have to do better on this, at least in some way. The image
page needs a BIG OBVIOUS CC notice. Many do, but some don't.
