Good, now that we agree that Fair Use images may be used. Is there a way for a bot to recognize what context an image is being used in, for it to know which ones *may* be in violation of some contextual issue?

The damage to the project is negligible, and any actual cases are trivially easy to fix.
Do you have any cases of erroneous deletion to hand? Not theoretical, actual cases. If so, were any of these not trivially fixable?
