WMNL very occasionally reaches out to organisations that use CC images without proper attribution. Usually we get a response that they didn't know (which I sometimes I can't really blame them for, to be honest, given that even on Wikipedia you have to click on an image to even be able to see who made it and under which license, instead of the author being listed in the description), and they correct it.
I've thought about setting up some sort of social media "name and shame" list, where photographers could post links to "offenders", complete with catchy hashtag, so that we can create more awareness of this issue.
