The current format *sucks* for reusers, even when they find their image. Anyone want to work out an Image: page that looks more like something you'd see in a commercial photo archive, or on Flickr?)
Looking at a typical image I've uplaoded to Commons http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Image:43040-CastleCary-01.jpg I cannot see how the layout can be improved on for the elements a resuer needs: Picture Description (including source) License
I acutally think this is easier to find the information on, particualrly re licensing, than on Flickr. I have no experience of commercial photo archives, so I don't know how they operate.
What about the current layout do journalists not understand/not like?
