"fair use" means "I think it's fair that this Wikipedia article should

illustrated", while those who are aware that it's part of copyright law tend
to have mistaken ideas, such as "educational use" allows anything.
I agree. Is there a way to provide a very quick summary to anyone
using this tag?
Also, a possible technical solution: force the uploader of a fair-use
image to specify which article it's to be used for, and prevent it
being used in other articles. Can a fair use image often be
legitimately used in different articles?

Occasionally, yes. It would piss me off if I had to upload several
different copies of the same image to illustrate articles like
[[Ketuanan Melayu]] (the headliner image is used on about half a dozen
other articles), especially since I think I actually understand fair use. :p
