What is the justification for the method of images in electrostatics?
I think that Mark's answer is very good - and in fact, the Wikipedia article you quoted is not bad, either. But let me simplify it a bit:
The task where the method is useful is to find the electric f …

Conservation of charge and method of images
You may prove that the required mirror charge is the opposite of the external charge – and if you have many external charges, the solution is given by the superposition principle so the total sum of " …
