Good question. I recently added specific information regarding this at:
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Image_description_page#Fair_use_rationale
It does not appear that anyone thought that fair use was use specific.
I hope people will follow this suggestion. It will make Wikipedia
much more useful to third parties that might want to include
images in their versions of Wikipedia content.
