Question: why should we give special prominence and mention of the original author to a
carefully composed, lovingly shot photo whose license requires attribution to the
author(s), and not give special prominence and mention of the original author to a
carefully composed, lovingly written article/text whose license requires attribution to
the author(s)?
I've noticed people seem to hold photos and text to very different standards. For
example, I don't think I've once seen anyone remove chunks of quoted text for
being 'excessive fair use', and yet similar actions and rationale for images are
too common for me to need to belabor the point.
