Hi there, Mengh here.
First time posting here but knew about Spirak Knights wiki along time ago.
This thread is just to alert all Wiki Editors (especially those who are in the process of making guild pages) that you'll need to be careful of using some images that are not your own. I was just skimming through a couple of pages in the Recent Changes section and one in particular was using a copyrighted image from the game of League of Legends.
- Copyright infringement is a serious case.

If anyone is able to contact him ASAP to remove his image of a 'purple rift' which is below his guild's title, please do so.
On another note, copyright infringement is a serious case so
Do:
- Use your own images
- Ask permission from the original holder of the image whether you can use it.
Don't:
- Use images simply just from Google Images
- Use other people's images without their permission.
Copyright doesn't work like this. As someone who is a Youtube partner, I've gone through a lot of 'what is copyright and what isn't' debates.
This is under free-use. He does not claim that the image is his nor is he selling it for profit. There's a lot of copyrighted worked on the Wiki. Legend of Zelda, Halo, and various other work.
As long as the uploader isn't claiming that he owns the image, he's fine.
