Remos, that is not an equivalent analogy in the slightest. And Fair use is not image theft.

How is editting on a fandom not non-commercial use?

The legal definition of Non-commercial is: Non-Commercial means not primarily intended for or directed towards commercial advantage or monetary compensation.

As far as I am aware this wiki, as well as every other wiki, is not intended for commercial advantage or monetary compensation thus it is 100% Non-commercial and would thus qualify for Fair Use under a non-commercial purpose.

As for whether the usage of third party images being classified as Fair Use, despite you being an admin that does not make you a legal expert on what is or isn't determined to be Fair Use. Since this wiki's image policy is based on the Star Wars Fanon's policy and it does not distinguish itself from the SWF's definition of Fair Use I point to SWF's Fair Use Images as precedent on what does or doesn't consititute Fair Use of third party images.

Unless you'd like to propose the 40k Fanon wiki changes its policy on what constitutes Fair Use I think this settles the matters.
