Once a user has the time, skills and will to make these kinds of
diagrams, I don't think being credited inline or not will make much
difference. There are many prose editors who contribute fantastically
without being credited inline.
I don't find Zoney's suggestion to be all that bad. Accepting any such
credits should still be optional. In theory both texts and images are
editable, but as a practical matter the brutal editing is almost
completely limited to texts. Once accepted, images tend to remain
stable. Texts on the other had often start as stubs and are layered up
from there by a variety of users.
Even if we don't accept nd images, adding a tag like "From an original
free image by ..." should be fine.
