Fair-use images

Their use is allowed, but is limited: there should be a proper justification posted on the image page why this image should be used in a specific article. There is such justification for Médecins Sans Frontières, because it is a logo pertinent to that organization, but not for the List of Nobel Peace Prize laureates page. See WP:Fairuse. A more delicate detail is this: List of Nobel Peace Prize laureates is a featured article, i.e. "one of the best". Fair-use images are to be avoided in such articles. Cheers.

No, you don't need to be a lawyer, you can just trust regular editors who reverted your edit and provided a reason for it :-). More seriously, if you wish to question the revert, you'd need to read a bit (and might indeed get some headache from it). Fair use is already a gratuitous allowance - most wikipedias in other languages do not have it. We may use fair-use images on this wiki, but with many restrictions, and thus we strive to minimize such use. You can find a good reason why File:Msf logo.png is essential for List of Nobel Peace Prize laureates, add this reason to File:Msf logo.png and add the image to the article. This reason may be questioned though, because there are no clear-cut criteria for inclusion of such images - a murky area even for wikipedians. Cheers.
