The photo of the sheet bend should show both ends of the ropes on the same side of the knot (a proper sheet bend). Also, the text should be changed to say that it works just as well joining two lines of the same diameter.
The square know (or reef knot, in sailing) should not be used as a bend (joining knot) because it can become untied or jam and be difficult to untie. The photo should not use two different color ropes, to make that clear.

74. One of the best but most misused knots is the REEF or SQUARE KNOT (#1204). Employed as a
BINDING KNOT, to reef and furl sails or to tie up parcels, it is invaluable.
75. But employed as a bend (to tie two rope ends together), the REEF KNOT is probably responsible for
more deaths and injuries than have been caused by the failure of all other knots combined.
