I'd say the latter case is an editorial matter, not one of attribution

attributions in the captions are because they're interesting and

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.
