Using old, archived screenshots on the Wiki


I just wondered if there were any issues with using screenshots from archived websites (CoD for example has some interesting images that don't seem available on Warcry), on the Wiki. I know that there is the drop down box when uploading images here, which specifies screenshots as being fair use, but how about screenshots I didn't take? Do I need get permission somehow, or can I just make notes on the page as a reference?

I ask because I thought it would be nice to have some for the live event pages here.

This is probably a stupid question, but better safe than sorry.
