Wikipedia usability stuff

 * 1) sit user in front of Wikipedia, ask them to find an image of, say, Ghandi
 * 2) *cringe as they go through http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=image+of+ghandi&go=Go and the like
 * 3) * eventually: arrive at, say, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi
 * 4) ask user: who do you think made this image? how would you find out?
 * 5) * sit back and try not to get worked up that they don't click the image to see a larger size and the author information :)
 * 6) * eventually: arrive, at e.g. Image:Gandhi_studio_1931.jpg
 * 7) ask user: who put this image on this page? how would you find out?
 * 8) * note: you could switch q2 and q3, and you could add things like "do you think you are allowed to use this image on your own web site" -- the questions are asking for various aspects of the information present on the image detail page

lather, rinse, repeat with different icons and variations of credits under/around/near the image

This may also help improve the design of the image detail page, which, frankly, is horrendous.
