I absolutely agree with viewpoint no. 2. Furthermore,
beyond images, I do
think we should have attribution on article pages. It isn't hard for the
vast majority of articles. Merely from a copyright point of view, you only
need to put authors responsible for substantial original content in the
article (i.e. tweakers, sentence/section/structure reworkers, grammer, etc.
do not require attribution).
And how the heck do we find them? In many cases they aren't the
author of the first revision.
I'm not saying that it can't be done, .. but it's not trivial, and it
can't be done automatically (thus my recommendation for a manually
editable credits page).
