I'd say the latter case is an editorial matter, not one of attribution per license. Our NASA images are generally public domain in any case; attributions in the captions are because they're interesting and relevant to the article.
Yeah, I guess there are also cases where the attribution is also like
sourcing it. War photos you would probably want to know which side took the photo, for instance.
So anyway I think we have reached some compromise somewhere between viewpoint #1 and #2: mere attribution on the image page is insufficient (we need better links there), but textual attribution on the article page itself next to the image is excessive.
