I have always assumed that "credit to the original uploader" meant either:
- what you have assumed ie viewers should thank the original uploader (usually named) OR
- I did not scan these photos/posters - I am not claiming credit as if they are "my originals". I found them (somewhere) on the internet (perhaps a long time ago); and I am grateful to the person(s) who originally scanned these photos/posters and uploaded them.

I have also assumed that where the original uploader is not named then the second meaning would apply.
