In theory the idea that public credit should be given for good work is nice - it is simply unworkable for Wikipedia. What is public credit? What is good work? Who gets credit, in which order? Can you change the credits over time? Who decides?
Easier: add a "show credits" link to pages that transcludes a list of all contributors to text and images. Possibly images could then do with a "creator/photographer" field so that's listed rather than the uploader.
