If you post any fair-use images, you'd better be prepared to defend 
them and jump through hoops for them forevermore... Better not go on 
a vacation or wikibreak long enough not to catch all the robotic 
messages that continually pop up on your user talk page to inform you 
that one of your images is about to be automatically deleted because 
it doesn't have the correct incantations (based on ever-changing 
rules) on the image description page, or the image is not in use on 
an article because somebody removed it there (sometimes without 
explanation), and hence the image itself will be deleted soon.
