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.

Just reading the news online and came across this article:

http://euobserver.com/851/27587

Look closely and you can see the picture cites "wikipedia"

I know pictures often cite "AFP" like that - but is this enough under
the GDFL? If not, what is the procedure for reporting copyright
abuses?
