For stuff that you have a copyright in, you can do
whatever the law
allows to preserve your rights. Basically, you as an individual have the
same options available to deal with infringement as Wikipedia does.
Wikipedia doesn't have that much ability to protect the rights of
individual contributors, it can only protect its own rights. The most
Wikipedia could do on your behalf is maybe lead a class action suit on
behalf of all the contributors whose copyrights are being infringed.
However, I would point out that your rights as a contributor do not come
from the GFDL. They come from whatever copyright you own. The GFDL gives
other people permission, it doesn't give you as an author any rights.

OK.
But if I give the copyright to Wikipedia, then it is up to Wikipedia to
ensure that its rights as copyright owner are respected ?
If I do transfer the copyright to Wikipedia, do I still stay the author ?
If I do, and someone claim the pictures are his, who has the right to
say it is not true ?
