As Gregory indicated already, EXIF data is not a really good way to add attribution metadata to files.
However, i think some way to make it easier for people to add images to their pages using some kind of easy tool on the File: page itself, akin to the YouTube embed code is a pretty good idea. Maybe some kind of iframe or Javascript gadget would be nice, that could also be used for attribution and indicating that more media are available on Commons. -- Hay _______________________________________________ Commons-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/commons-l
