	I saw that you recently uploaded a picture of a 2nd Gen Glock 17. We already have a picture of a Gen 2 Glock 17 that was photographed by [[User:MoviePropMaster2008\|MoviePropMaster2008]] (I just added it back to the page). One of the unwritten rules of IMFDB is that any pictures of guns taken by MPM2008 are not to be replaced/overwritten without his permission - the reason is that these images are exclusive to IMFDB and also because many of them are blank-adapted guns from his company's inventory (or other movie armorers' inventories), which means that they accurately represent the weapons seen on-screen in movies and TV shows. So, from now on, if you see that a picture of a gun was taken by MoviePropMaster2008, please don't replace it. There's no harm, no foul - honestly, it's our fault that we haven't written this rule out somewhere. -[[User:MT2008\|MT2008]] ([[User talk:MT2008\|talk]]) 16:29, 9 December 2018 (EST)		I saw that you recently uploaded a picture of a 2nd Gen Glock 17.

			== Some Tips ==

			First, make sure that when you change the subtitle on the weapon page, all redirects work correctly. Secondly, don't forget to add a category for your gun files and if possible, cut excess white space on your images.
