Hi!
I want to shamelessly announce :-) that my photo is used on
http://www.schmap.com/sanfrancisco/sights_richmond/#mapview=Map&tab=Places&p=21888&topleft=37.85263,-122.53326&bottomright=37.71099,-122.43679&i=21888.jpg.
But this image was taken from flickr, not Commons.
Indeed, I advertised Commons in "thank you" letter, but this is
information for critical analysis...
We still have problems with Commons visibility :-(. Google still can't
find images on Commons. GeoCommons is not included by default in
Google Earth. And so on and so on... :-(
I concur. Some months ago, I was requested permission to reuse one of my pictures of Nicolas Sarkozy (current French President). The lady who asked me found the picture on my flickr gallery and wanted to use it on the cover of a newsletter her company edited. I asked her to cite Wikimedia Commons as source, but we really need to increase our visibility.
