Re:Hi :D
Welcome to the Vampire Knight wiki, Apple. As you most likely know, I am an admin and bureaucrat on this wiki. We don't often have editors on this wiki so I hope you'll consider helping out constructively. I always read a new chapter every month. Also, I don't support Zeki nor Yume, and I don't care much for Zero or Kaname either. I just like the series for what it is. :D


 * We have image galleries, yes. Just look at the navigation board on the top of the wiki, find the "Gallery" section, and there should be a list of them right there. When you're adding images, just click the button at the bottom of the sections that say "Add a photo to this gallery" and then find a suitable pic for that section. If you plan to upload an image and put it into the gallery, make sure it has proper licensing. That's very important here.


 * Licensing is the legal tags for the image. It's to show where that image came from and what its use will be. For example, let's say you took an image of an apple. You own that image because you made and took it. But let's say you took a screen capture from the VK anime. You cannot say that you own because you don't; the TV network that produces the VK anime owns it. Therefore, it is copyrighted. You need to label your image as such. The reason we have license tags on images is so that we can use it legally. Most images are not copyrighted, but if they are, and if they aren't licensed properly, they are considered illegal by standard law.


 * Right now, just put in the license templates that say whether the image is copyrighted fair use, found in the public domain, personally uploaded by the user, ect. I do plan on making a fair use rationale soon, which requires more specifics on the image like where is that image actually found.


 * Images from the public domain are ones that the uploader found on public sites, such as google or facebook or youtube, but does not know information about it's license status yet knows it's not copyright.

There's two other admins, Cotton-chan and User:Razorvamp01. However, both are currently inactive so I'm the only admin here at the moment.
