I have just uploaded the Firefox addon. Although it works perfectly on
http://www.flickr.com/photos/75062596@N00/164893152 , it is not
working perfectly on the corresponding Wikimedia Commons page at
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Om%C3%B8_%26_Agers%C3%B8,_2006-06-04.jpg
: the work is not properly attributed. The license is provided, but
the photographer's name or  user name is not mentioned. What should I
or what should the Flickr upload bot owner or the Mediawiki
developpers do so that the tool works perfectly on Commons ? Where is
the good place to report such a bug ?

An alternative way of providing good attribution and finding it, is to
include it into the picture's metadata and have users use a metadata
viewing tool such as the Exif viewer add-on for Firefox. See
