I think we have almost 600 fair use images in the pokeman category
That's true, and may or may not be a problem. The sheer number isn't necessarily the problem, though -- images which are individually "fair use" are still "fair use" whether there are two of them or 600 of them. There is a case on this relating to Beanie Babies, I believe: Ty, Inc., vs. Publications International, Ltd. (discussed at http://www.ivanhoffman.com/beanie.html)
How the Twin Peaks and Seinfeld rulings apply to Wikipedia and Wikiquote is unclear to me. Personally I'd be very, very suspicious of having detailed pages about copyrighted material which is purely descriptive (and not analysis, parody, etc.) or, at worse, relies upon heavy use of copyrighted content (images, quotes), even if we are non-profit. But I'm no lawyer, and this seems to be ground which is not very clearly spelled out legally.
