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