The rules say:
* In the event that multiple users claim a prize for the same article,
they will need to agree among themselves how to allocate the prize.

Given that an FA involves many contributors, we can expect that each
successful FA will have many people who "deserve" a cut.  This should
be interesting to watch. ;-)

Any chance the British Museum will donate a high-resolution image when
the article becomes a GA?
