Hoi,
Yes, the English Wikipedia allows for "fair use". Image with fair use are
not permissible in Wikidata. There is no such thing as automatically it
takes people to start a process and think it true.
Thanks,

Is there a reason that Wikidata can't just use the
same images that
Wikipedia does?
For example, this article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Frost_House has a nice public domain
photo that someone contributed back in 2010, but it's not referenced from
Wikidata
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7964895
Why couldn't these all be referenced automatically?

Hi all,
I cordially invite you to donate some time and add an image from
Wikimedia Commons to Wikidata this year. For inspiration you may choose one
of the recent Wiki Loves Monuments prize winning photos from your local
competition being added to the Wikidata item about that monument, one of
your favorite paintings from your local museum being added to the Wikidata
item about that painting, an image of christmas cookies that you made that
you could add to an item about that type of cookie, or anything else that
has an item but no image yet.
To help you overcome the difficulties with editing on Wikidata, here is a
short film by User:Jan_Ainali_(WMSE) on how to add an image to an item:

Thanks, good luck and let's hope we see some structured data for Commons
in 2016,
Jane
