Where should this disclaimer appear?  I would prefer that this wiki adopt a FairUse policy for all logos across the board, disclaiming any knowledge of their individual copyrights, pointing people wanting to re-use these images to the source wikis in question to assess copyright status.  Thank you very much for bringing this issue up.  We clearly have the right to use the images here under "fair use" AND we also have a responsibility to make very clear that we do not own the images.

Thank you!  I propose a footer that says: ''Content (other than logos) is available under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5 License.  Logos are displayed here as "Fair Use," with copyrights retained by their owners.''

I further propose that the Upload file page include some kind of copyright warning, telling people that logos of wikis are fair use and copyrights remain the property of their owners and that any other file or image must be licensed under a compatibile license to our own.
