[WikiEN-l] Dealing with photoshopped images?

Hi,

I noticed that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:TSgt_Goodman_inspects_newest_member_of_family.jpg
is used in some pages at wikipedia.

There are reasons to suspect that the image has been altered (and I
must admit, edited in a very poorly fashion).

The sharpness of the monitor image does not correspond to the
sharpness of the surrounding items. The monitor image is beyond the
monitor screen at the lower left corner.

Even if someone considers such an image to be suitable for using it in
Wikipedia, it should be a standard procedure to at least mention the
editing (assuming that there was one).

Mathias
