Just out of interest, what is "doing it right" in this context. Is a link to http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f1/Houses_of_Parliament.jpg plus an extended text along the lines of, say, the bottom of http://www.answers.com/topic/bahrain-football-club required?
I've seen (source:Wikipedia) quoted a few times on media pictures now.

It's great to see more and more people re-using Wikipedia content. such as this: http://euobserver.com/9/28232 However, does this comply with the GDFL license? All it says by way of attribution is "(Photo: wikipedia)" If not, is there a group of people somewhere who chase up copyvios like this?
Usually if someone (preferably the creator) contacts them suggesting how to do it right, places are keen to get it right. Asking nicely and reasonably is effective in practice.
