If the images are used for promotional purposes related to the copyrighted material, the above notices are fine.

However, as far as I know, if someone modifies the original images, it technically can't be called "fair use". In that case, you would need to find some statement by the copyright holder that says it is okay to modify the image and re-publish it. Outside of that, you pretty much just say the images are being used in potential violation of copyright.

Maybe someone else knows some other technicality I'm not aware of, but that is my understanding.

On WoWWiki, we fortunately had the permission of Blizzard Entertainment for using most all copyrighted material, so it wasn't a problem. Just the fact that you are concerned puts you at a higher level than most, but that doesn't mean you will get an answer you like.
