Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Citing wikipedia
That particlar image is not GFDL, It is (I believe) this image: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hpim3526.jpg The license says "The copyright holder of this file allows anyone to use it for any purpose, provided that credit is given and copyright is attributed..", so it is certainly a violation of Marko Petrovic's copyright. I don't think that the violation is malicious, just them being slighty lazy and assuming the copyright lies with "wikipedia", they are not trying to claim it as their own. Therefore the first thing would probably be to write them an email pointing out their error and asking them to amend the page.

[Wikimediauk-l] Citing wikipedia
Just reading the news online and came across this article: http://euobserver.com/851/27587 Look closely and you can see the picture cites "wikipedia" I know pictures often cite "AFP" like that - but is this enough under the GDFL? If not, what is the procedure for reporting copyright abuses?
