credits under the image in articles. This is what they are accustomed to. I (and a few others) think that we should make efforts to sensibilise our users to this. We can definitely afford to credit people in articles. This is a small concession which costs us very little and can benefit us greatly.
I think articles should also be attributed to their authors in the body of the article. Every major encyclopedia does it. Certainly there would be some debate about how much of a contribution should be required for attribution, and what form the attribution should take, whether real full names, wikipedia nicks, or real full initials.
