If you find such an image on wikipedia (i.e., one for which permission was granted only to wikipedia), it should probably be replaced if at all possible by a more freely usable one, either PD, or FDL licensed itself, or usable under "fair use".

Could I get some indication on when an image falls uner fair use, and when it does not?

Indication, yes. A formula, no. Basically, fair use requires (among other things) that we not use a significant part of the whole work, and that the use not decrease the commercial/market/financial value of the work.
