Gerard,
may I kindly remind you that our aim is to make and collect free content? Fair use is not free.
And your remark about crippling content looks false: i checked a few of the old versions, and these didnt have a photograph. Not even a fair use one.
regards, teun spaans

Hoi, When you have a good quality picture that you want to use under Fair use, you use it as a good quality picture. Why cripple our content when there is no need ? If anything we should not have "Fair use" material. Thanks, GerardM

<snip> Well, good work!..but as others said, this isn't the proper way to get rid of fair use images..the availability of a fair use image won't stop someone from adding a free alternative, fair use images shouldn't be added in a high resolution..right? so when someone sees the image with low quality and s/he has another free one, s/he will replace it with the free image, provided that you place a message on free use images saying 'this image isn't free, if you can help.replace it...'...on the other end, I think with the increasing popularity, people will just add their images(to say: hey, i took that image you see on [[Cat]] article!)...
