In my opinion, the (C) really gives the wrong impression. It will be understood to mean: don't copy this image. Which is exactly the wrong message for an encyclopedia that tries to be Free.
I don't think that's true. Flickr uses a grey "(c)" (backwards?) for the link to licence information. I think the (C) is a good indicator that you shouldn't just pinch the image without thinking. You should stop, check the licence information, then go ahead.
In any case, most Wikipedia images *are* copyrighted. They're also free licenced.
