EXIF data is fine, but it doesn't really suffice for attribution: No on will find it; it's effectively not there. Unfortunately all that metadata is currently stripped for any thumbnails. So in the common case that they hotlink a thumb you don't even get that much. _______________________________________________ Commons-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-l
