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,
Delphine
