The policy seems to regard mostly text. In the case of a photo, there is almost always only one photographer (or, in my case) artist, so one name or ID should be enough. I could not find the particular photo used. As regards how these compliance checks happen, it is like anything on wikipedia. Nothing happens fast, unless you do it, and do not expect any lawyerly tasks to happen fast if they are also done well. _______ Universal Policy of Service: If you want it good and fast, then it will not be cheap. If you want it good and cheap, then it will not be fast. If you want it cheap and fast, then it will not be good.
