I believe you are mixing use of fair use images (and EDP) with fair use as a much broader concept. Fair use is (AFAICT, IANAL) an instance of "fair practice" mentioned even in the Berne Convention. Without fair use, you couldn't even include textual quotations. And an encyclopedia that does not cite anyone is hardly a valuable encyclopedia, IMHO.
