For full copyrighted works in no book are credits given inside with the actual work. Instead they are typically presented in a "credits" page at the last pages of the book.
The credit for the images can be included in the history page as an extra. It would be one hell of a task to code though. - White Cat

It's about time we had this debate again. Morally, ethically, legally: what are we required to do to meet the "attribution required" aspect of certain free images we acquire from Flickr or other sources, including our own contributors?
Viewpoint #1: Provided the information is available on the image information page, which can be reached by clicking the image, then attribution information is available to anyone who wants it. Viewpoint #2: The attribution should be more visible, such as beneath the image in articles. This is the standard used by newspapers, for instance. People who licence their work under "attribution required" licences are expecting a bit more than a begruding source tag hidden behind a mouse click.
Personally I am of viewpoint #2, and feel that we are short-changing photographers who generously release their work for virtually no recompense. I feel that if we are not willing to attribute the photo properly, by putting the owner's name at the same level as the photo, then we should bar the use of these kinds of images.
Some powerful persuasive arguments for either of the above viewpoints, or any other, would be nice.
(Why this has arisen now: I created a {{credit}} template for this purpose and used it in a couple of places. I was reverted. So more opinions are needed.)
Steve PS http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/ states that "You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work)." but in practice no one seems to specify a particular method. The ramifications of that practice are open for discussion. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
