I don't think there's any copyvio there... the text is too small to 
be readable on the movie screen, and the Victoria image is public 
domain.  But the movie industry is as a whole pretty anal about 
crediting even the most incidental use of copyrighted or trademarked 
things... is there any mention of Wikipedia somewhere in the closing 
credits?
