Well, there's no really need to cite Wikipedia, because the license said that the author (the person who took the picture) and the license should be mentionned. To cite "Wikipedia" is welcome but not necessary.
I think that by writing "Photo: Wikipedia" they have good intentions, they just don't know how to proceed correctly. So it will be good just to send them a friendly e-mail which explains them how to cite correctly the source (e.g.: Photo by *name of the photographer*, CC-BY-SA-3.0) Guérin Nicolas 2009/10/22 Andrew Turvey <[email protected]> > The "EU Observer" web newspaper seems to be a regular re-user of Wikimedia > images.
