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.
