Perhaps this fictitious mechanism could allow you to specify more than one article?

"fair use" means "I think it's fair that this Wikipedia article should be illustrated", while those who are aware that it's part of copyright law tend to have mistaken ideas, such as "educational use" allows anything.
I agree. Is there a way to provide a very quick summary to anyone using this tag?
Also, a possible technical solution: force the uploader of a fair-use image to specify which article it's to be used for, and prevent it being used in other articles. Can a fair use image often be legitimately used in different articles?

Occasionally, yes. It would piss me off if I had to upload several different copies of the same image to illustrate articles like [[Ketuanan Melayu]] (the headliner image is used on about half a dozen other articles), especially since I think I actually understand fair use. :p
