Why not put it on the article's history page somewhere?
You mean in the edit summary? The problem with that is that it after a lot of edits you won't see it anymore.
So? Why should my edits/contributions be any less important (and visible) than some external source?
It is not a matter of importance but of copyright-verification. (Your edits are the most important of all, of course ;-)) If somebody of us sees text on a page that is verbatim identical to something elsewhere on the web then there is the risc of copyright-infringement. The credits section would / should provide us a quick way to see if there is a problem or not. Hiding this between all the other edits wouldn't be very helpful.
