			If you can watch the episodes on your computer, you can use the program Fast Stone Image Viewer to grab any picture on your computer screen. The program can also crop and convert to JPG. For your more details on how to do it, you can check out my user page. --[[User:Ben41\|Ben41]] 19:08, 5 May 2011 (CDT)

	Ben,		Ben,

	I wasn't expecting this to be set up like the IMDB but I was expecting a little more form. BTW, I post under a different name there also.		I wasn't expecting this to be set up like the IMDB but I was expecting a little more form. BTW, I post under a different name there also.

	I've modified the Webley entry on the Sgt. Preston page so you can see what the proper formatting should look like. Please use this as an example and modify the listings for the rest of the weapons on the page and do not leave the page in its current form. Thanks for your cooperation. --[[User:Ben41\|Ben41]] 17:45, 25 April 2011 (CDT)		I've modified the Webley entry on the Sgt. Preston page so you can see what the proper formatting should look like.

			Ben,
			I wasn't expecting this to be set up like the IMDB but I was expecting a little more form. BTW, I post under a different name there also.

			I have no capability for obtaining screen shots. From what I've looked through so far there is seldom a real good view of any of the firearms to capture. I was sure Preston was using a Smith & Wesson Schofield until I saw him firing double action after reviewing 27 episodes.

			Thanks for the modifications. I will continue to plug away at adding file photos of the rest of the firearms I have identified. My pace will be continue to be relatively slow so if that is unacceptable please delete what I have added so far.

			Once again, thanks for your help,

			Polydorus

	Thanks Ben. I've contributed to the IMDB for over 10 years but this is all new to me. I'm really still doing basic research on what firearms were used in the series. So far I've gone back through 30 episodes. How exactly do I format "WORK IN PROGRESS" ? TIA [[User:Polydorus\|:Polydorus]]		Thanks Ben.

			::Hello Polydorus. I have been a long time contributor to IMDB myself under a different screen name and trust me, IMDB is nothing like IMFDB. IMDB has a strictly regimented series of forms that you have to 'update/delete' (as you well know). On IMFDB you MUST create much of the page 'by hand' or at least take a look at an established page, copy and paste the code but be sure to change the relevant information before 'saving'. SCREENSHOTS are pretty much required nowadays, even though some pages are given a grace period to get them. The entire point of the screenshots is to verify/validate what is being stated on the page. Let one of the veteran members or mods know if you have any problems on creating screenshots. best regards [[User:MoviePropMaster2008\|MoviePropMaster2008]] 14:00, 28 April 2011 (CDT)

	You can just type '''WORK IN PROGRESS''' at the top and explain that you're still researching the show. In the meantime, you need make the gun classifications in the proper format (underneath the name of the gun, you need to place a stock image of the weapon) and briefly explain who used the particular weapon listed. Take a look at those pages I mentioned above to see what the proper page looks like. If you do this, it will be less likely to be flagged. Please also take a look at the [[Rules, Standards and Principles]] as well. --[[User:Ben41\|Ben41]] 17:29, 21 April 2011 (CDT)		You can just type '''WORK IN PROGRESS''' at the top and explain that you're still researching the show.
