Sorry, couldn't see what you meant for a minute. You refer to the (c) which used to be in the *caption* of the image in the actual article. I hadn't realised that could be a problem...yet more evidence that those of us who are trying to do things properly just keep blundering on.
So what is the general rule: no (c) notices in articles at all?
Generally speaking, Wikipedia doesn't give bylines or the like to articles, and actively discourages signing your work - should images really be given special treatment in this regard?
I have mixed opinions on this. I generally agree with the general "no ownership" policy of the material we include, but I can forsee all sorts of long-term difficulties in distinguishing between copyvios and legitimate usages. when those usages have gone through several downstream generations.
