I was doing some research on ArbCom admonitions against personal attacks, and I came across a photograph on a user page where the subject of the photograph states that he is the creator.
Is "creator" well defined anywhere? If you have the idea to take a photo of yourself against a particular background, choose the spot, set the camera settings, frame it, then hand it to a passerby saying "can you press this button when I say GO", and later download the photo, photoshop it, crop it, upload it etc - are you really saying that that passer by is the "creator" of the photo?
No idea if that's the case here, but I don't think the button pusher should necessarily get all the credit, or even *any* credit if they've been told exactly what to do.
