However, our users should be given the copyright status of the information provided. Text is gfdl. Images...not always so. They may prefer not to use fair use images, or cp pictures, with author permission to wikipedia. The problem of inline linking, is that the user have no easy access to that information. He could look for the internet link. See the image displayed, and now what ? How could he know how to tweak the link to get to the image description
If this is going to be done it is all the more reason for the image description page to be completed with specific information. Remember that the image use page can never be "fair use" it is the use of that image that is fair use, thus all images that are used as fair use must have copyright information, i.e. where it was from, who took the photo, etc., otherwise a subsequent editor will never be able to determine if their use of the image will be fair use. If the copyright owner appears and says, yes you can use the image in this article but we do not agree with using it in that article, it would be easier if both articles (<!-- in hidden text -->) explained the rationale for fair use, then if Wikipedia wanted to say that it could use the images it would have some idea why the uses are fair use. Otherwise the material will just have to be deleted.
