If not, what is the procedure for reporting copyright abuses? The first step is always to ask them nicely to correct their mistake. ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org

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.
