Geni your argument shows a tendency to wiki-lawyer.
Of course. Normally wikipedia policy is problematical to rule lawyer because it is a bit fuzzy. Wikipedia's copyright policy isn't. Fuzzy was tried but it turned out that the average internet user knew so little or about copyright or had so little respect for copyright that that system didn't work. Thus we created a system of hard rules that made it less hard to decide if what you were doing was legit or not.
We know you are not a lawyer, let's not get into what the courts will or won't say.
A fair use case requires you to think about what the courts are likely to say. If you think there is a reasonable fair use case to be made lets hear it.
