This is the third time these questions have turned
around just on this
project. We ARE erring on the side of caution which is why we have all
the image pages (unlike others...).
I wouldn't mind doing more but I would question the value of useless
gestures. For example if you say who wrote what is irrelevant I can
get a list of the 60,000 editors including IP addresses who have
edited any of these articles and add it as plain text at the foot of
the license page (similar to the German DVD model) but does that
really help?
It would be far better (and no harder) to include a separate list for
each article. That way you avoid worrying about the "Is Wikipedia a
single GFDL work or a collection of GFDL works?" debate.
The legalities of the GFDL are so confusing and ambiguous that they
are best ignored for the most part. Just try and follow the spirit of
the license, which includes that attribution is required. Telling
somebody how to find the list of authors in a place they can't access
is not attribution by any reasonable definition.
