- There is definitely a trend of professional photographers to request
credits under the image in articles. This is what they are accustomed to. I (and a few others) think that we should make efforts to sensibilise our users to this. We can definitely afford to credit people in articles. This is a small concession which costs us very little and can benefit us greatly.
And why professional photographer should be better treated on Wikimedia projects than me or any other contributor?
Everyone should be treated better. But we won't do that, it's a tradition ;-)
So at least we should treat professional photographers better, because they are a potential source of lots of high quality images, in contrast to the occasional PD-USGov image or holiday-snapshot-without-people we get from people like myself...
