I believe in the commons. I want it to grow. But if you're going to put credit in a place where it's invisible and negates the whole intent of the attribution request, then the CC is not a valid tool to use. And since Wikipedia is a shining flagship in the commons, how it behaves is, in some ways, a standard bearer.
My personal opinion is that it is much more fair to photographers to have a small byline directly under the picture, or at the bottom of the page. Unfortunately that is up to the local community to decide. I believe the Norwegian Wikipedia does credit in a byline.
