If you find such an image on wikipedia (i.e., one

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.
