[edit] Fair use for Swedish allotment system

The image Pikemen_musketeers.jpg is being linked here; though the picture is originally copyright I (-- Elisson • Talk) feel it is covered by fair use because:

1. No free or public domain images are available that demonstrates the tactic as good as this drawing.
2. The use of the picture in the article adds significantly to the understanding of why the allotment system was such a successful system.
3. The drawing is relatively simple and very similar drawings ([3]) are available, lessening the uniqueness of this particular drawing.
4. The use of the picture in the article does not lessen the value of the work in any way.
5. The copy taken of the drawing is of inferior quality (even if large).
