Image usage
Images are used on this wikia to depict what often is hard to describe in words. To this extent, all images on this site are being used for illustration purposes only. If images are used for anything more, they can be considered going against copyright laws.
To keep the wikia healthy, avoid questions of "misuse" of the wikia and to generally avoid sensitive image arguments we have certain guidelines and rules that should be note. Unacceptable images can be considered vandalism just as text can be considered spam. If Images are put into any type of article for any sort of inappropriate reasons, the picture will be removed followed by a warning from an Administrator. Failure to comply will result in a block while said user reviews our guidelines and policies. The more times a user is pulled over for violating our guidelines and policies, the longer the block.
Acceptable and Unacceptable

Using images on the wikia is allowed! However, only certain images are taken. Take note that also any images posted in any part of an article must be appropriate. For example, Maka using the Kishin Hunter should be in the "Abilities" section, not "Relationship" section
- Single cell or single pages from the manga of Soul Eater and Soul Eater Not!
- Screenshots of a single frame from the anime.

Unacceptable

Preference
When uploading an image, please keep in mind the following things:
- Crop out any words if necessary. This is possible with paint and other image editing software. This applies to any subtitles or scan from the manga. See our Spoiler Policy for more info.
- Be sure the picture is in good quality.
- Use English Translation pics If you can. Raws are fine but are often hard to understand. If you can read Japanese, provide a english translation If possible.

- Size may vary according to an article and it's requirements. However, 250px is the max for any article period. Anything over will be shrunken.
