Hey! First the more details the better so excellent there, second no way would anyone bug me please do ask me anything. Hope I do give the vibe that I’m approachable and happy to help, that’s always handy!

Yes these images, now with official images, from the drawing works in this case they do not belong to the Tumblr users. For instance if I scanned and uploaded an image from the novel on any other site, that image is not mine since it’s official Seraph of the End content – it’s Seraph of the Ends.

Whether it’s copyrighted by the publishers, or if other people are claiming ownership, it’s not a concern here. On Fandom, which has it’s own licensing rules, this site functions as an encyclopedia where the information shared is used for informative purposes falling under Fairuse. We are not out to sell it; rather it is descriptive information in the public domain meant to be shared.

Official information like the drawing works images should be secured on the wiki. If anything, Tumblr and other sites are at risk, their licenses if they have them may expire. Not a concern here, Fandom is stable in the very long term and it’s a wiki site, again content comes under Fairuse and everything is used for descriptive purposes, though licensing helps.

This issue may be a concern if other people’s fan art was uploaded (though they could still be accredited and chances are they would be happy their work is being shared around). For official content, the only possible issues are not the Tumblr people, but the actual Seraph of the End publishers swooping in and stating “delete this whole wiki”, to which the answer is this information is for the public benefit under the appropriate licensing, and the publishers benefit as well since it’s supporting their work. In the extremely unlikely event it happens, well Fandom has it covered.

If Seraph of the End, the manga, anime, everything official suddenly disappeared off the face of the earth just like that, and no one had any memory about the series… that’s where the wiki comes in, it’s meant to provide an overview of the series, to encompass everything official so people may find the content (manga page numbers, images so people can get a grasp of the series). All the written overviews, everything, this is all done to support the series, the more people who are aware of it the better. So all official information must be gathered to detail the wiki.
