To the uploader: this tag is not a sufficient claim of fair use. You must also include the source of the work, all available copyright information, and a detailed non-free use rationale.

[edit] Fair-use rationale for META-4

This image is indeed subject to copyright, but its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws, and the stricter requirements of Wikipedia's non-free content policies, because the image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the character in question. Moreover, it is presented in such a way that a reader wouldn't be confused into believing that the article is written or authorized by the owner of the logo.
