Sorry to bother anybody, but I'm perplexed. Can anyone tell me how to find the licensing information and identity of whoever uploaded an image?
Click on the image, and you go to a page with a name like
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Filename.jpg
This should have, at the bottom, a tag saying the image license, and a log showing the user who uploaded it.
Thanks Andrew and Mgm.
I'll just add that in case this image was uploaded on Wikimedia Commons, you will only see the licence information and you will have to click on the Commons warning and access the commons page to see who uploaded the image. Transclusion of image information from commons only show licence infomation and description on the various projects pages.
Side note: This is one more reason not to forget to state the author in an "author" line on the information page when uploading an image on Commons, rather than just a "taken by self" which is too often seen. ;-)
Best,
