As many have observed, your real beef thus appears to be with the Foundation's policies and the free content nature of the Wikimedia projects.>>
---------------- No. My beef is with the interpretation that fair-use images may not, under any circumstances, by used in-wiki. You seem to *agree* with that position, do you not? You yourself state that they need to be used in-context, opening the door for SOME use.
Your compatriots seem to believe that they may NOT be used for any purpose period.
Care to address that discrepancy? Can we all stop hitting the "Foundation Policy" issue, when it's not related? This issue is about the *interpretation* of nuances within. There is no policy language which states that fair use images may *never* be used. That however is one person's interpretation. It's harming the project.
Thanks.
