Forum:Images Copyright Clarification

Hi again, same as before I'm still relatively new to editing on Fandom, but in addition... I'm also now relatively new on being an admin/bureaucrat on a wiki!

The Wiki in Question: Skul:The Hero Slayer (Game)

My question: In terms of images and copyright, how should I ensure we're complying with anything? I don't understand the nuances of copyrights in general despite reading the Help:Copyright page. I want to be certain we're not doing anything wrong and that things are okay how they are, or that I need to make changes.

Currently I've been uploading a lot of images that have been snippets of the screen while I'm playing the game. Be it by taking a screenshot and cropping out what I want, or just using the snipping tool on Windows 10 to snag what I want and save it (essentially same result, fewer steps).

Should I have these images noted with copyright of some sort or... how should I adjust future or current images (though there are a lot D: ) to make sure I'm complying in the copyright respect?

Thanks in advance!

 * I might be being incredibly dense, but I can't seem to get my head to grasp what in the world all that means. Is there a layman's translation I could get? Sorry lol, I think very in terms of "do this". Checking some other gaming wikis, I haven't seen anything special on their images in what I would guess is the same situation so I'm going with a "we're doing alright" status lol
