Adding photographer's credit to a photo captionedit

Hi Мне отмщение, и аз воздам! Please post the link to the Wikipedia template violation you are referring to. Post it in the English language as my Russian language needs improvement.
I see no problems or harm with giving credit to photographers of any image on any Wikipedia article page. Of course I know that all copyright licence agreements and authors name is on archive at Wikimedia Commons, but that is a different section from Wikipedia articles. I think adding a photographer's credit to photo captions provides acknowledgement, recognition and exposure to the photographer's work upfront and may encourage more professional photographers to give permission to use their work on Wikipedia. Most fan photos are often poor in quality but great in quantity yet most uploaders choose not to use fan photos. It is clear that Wikipedia article pages with images have more page views that ones that do not. If you are a professional photographer would you not want your name displayed on a Wikipedia page especially after you gave permission to use it on Wikipedia?
P.S. I contacted the author, Jack Alexander, who explictly agreed to give me permission to use his photo and have his name on the photo caption.
