I wonder about wikia's agenda with images as the new gallery add image function bypases the licensing and renaming images options of the old upload methods. Several wikis are built almost entirely of 'stolen' images as they rarely credit the original creators or others stretch the 'fair use' principle by slapping the licence on everything with little if any actual credit to the source of the original image give. Staff even fail to add any license tag to there own blog post images so they obviously do not take image copyright or credit for actual authorship seriously. Giving an image uploader more visible credit than the creator encourages image theft. In the same way as the awarding of edit points & stars etc is encouraging useless edits on some wikis to get more status.
