"It" is a free encyclopedia. Overuse of fair use is not part of this.
How much use is "overuse"?
Use where a free alternative is possible Use where the media is not the subject of the article or the subject of a section of the article (section being defined as at least 2-3 sentences).
The first is required to meet our it must not be replaceable requirement and the second for the significance requirement. Meet those two and the rest of our EDP is unlikely to be an issue.
So the answer to my question is "one use". Good luck.
Actually, those conditions seem pretty reasonable and in tune with existing policy to me. But it allows album covers, book covers, all manner of screenshot, exactly the sorts of things that have recently become subjects of contention. So I'm not sure where the conflict lies here.
