Two problems. You need to go on IMDb and find the correct title, and spell the title properly when you make a page. And two, actor pages do not require you to add JUST character and movies, the point of the pages is to list the guns the actor has used. IMDb already lists all the movies actors are in, so we don't (http://www.imfdb.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Ben41&action=editand won't) have to. - [[User:Gunmaster45|Gunmaster45]]

== Colt XSE links ==
Thanks for the screencaps.  Just a reminder.  Be sure to identify who is on screen and what they are doing in the shot.  Also identify which actors used which guns.  That is really important information for the individual actor's pages.

::Excellent! Great work! Thanks! [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 08:35, 12 September 2009 (UTC)


==Hi==
... but the Colt XSE link does't link to anything, not even the Colt Rail Gun. Instead, the Colt Rail Gun link links to Colt XSE, and Colt XSE links to itself, and none of them directs to the actual page with the Colt Rail Gun. What is going on with the redirect here? --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 02:42, 13 February 2019 (EST)


Hey, Ben,

I undid the edits on [[Girl in the Spider's Web, The]], as it is definetly not USP, no safety, which is distinct feature of USP. It is P2000 with a customized rail, it seems


Great work on all the screencaps and contributions you've so far, but I must insist that you try to follow format:
== login issues ==


*(1.) Always include gun pictures along with the screencaps from the movie.
It's a storage issue. We're out again. Might try an upgrade tomorrow night since I have Monday off. --[[User:Bunni|bunni]] ([[User talk:Bunni|talk]]) 21:28, 25 May 2019 (EDT)
*(2.) Always make sure you link to the gun pages.
:Yes, was out of memory again. I've made some tweaks that will buy a couple weeks but the site actually needs to move to completely new hardware. I won't be able to do that until the 17th of June. --[[User:Bunni|bunni]] ([[User talk:Bunni|talk]]) 00:54, 9 June 2019 (EDT)


If you want to save time, you can just go to a page for another movie in which the same gun appears, and copy and paste the code from that page to save time. If I'm doing a page for a movie that has a SIG-Sauer P226, for example, I will just go to a page that has the same gun (like ''[[Air Force One]]''), copy the entry, and then change the code as needed. It's a good habit to get into, and it's important for this site's completeness and cohesion.
== Uploaded picture ==
Hi, I uploaded this picture ...[[Image:Spider-man-far-from-home-cobie-smulders-samuel-l-jackson-1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|]] ... that I ment to use on the [[Spider-Man: Far From Home]] page but when I had uploaded it I noticed some information about copywright was attached to the file, so I am now unshure if I can use this picture. I'm not a native English speaker or know very much about copywright rules so if you could help me and tell me if I can use that picture on the page or not I would be very grateful.

== Thanks I'll try. ==
== 21 Jump Street ==


Thanks for the input, I'll try and include the gun pictures as well.
I purposely replaced the two screencaps of the page since it's norm to have full-sized/non-cropped screenshots. I assume that you reverted them due to the big presence of the F-word, but... do we really enforce censoring curse words? As far as I've seen, censoring them is not a common practice on this site (unlike nudity), although I could be wrong. --[[User:Ultimate94ninja|Ultimate94ninja]] ([[User talk:Ultimate94ninja|talk]]) 08:22, 6 July 2019 (EDT)

If you want redo the descriptions, that's fine.   I just pretty much did the screen caps.   [[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 14 Oct 2009
A SIMON rifle grenade seems to have appeared in [[Terminator: Genisys]], fired by Sarah out of a helicopter in the middle of the film. I think you missed that in your screencaps. --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 00:15, 9 September 2019 (EDT)

==Your screencaps are too big==
== Re:Continuing on 1985 MacGyver ==
Gorgeous work on the Dark Knight Blu-ray pics .... BUT ... 1925 pixels across?!?!?! 925KB sized files?!?!?!?!  These MUST be shrunk down in that the original size won't be looked at full resolution anyway and they are taking up way too much space.  Have you noticed how long it takes for these images to be loaded when clicking on the page?  I know that some of our veteran members (and mods) sometimes upload gigantic images, but I think yours are now the biggest on the site.  Please make them smaller to allow quick loading of your page.  Thanks. [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 14:08, 3 November 2009 (UTC)


I'll make sure the rest of the pics I'll upload are smaller in size, but I think the reason it's still loading slow is because the majority of the pics are still PNG's.  I'm trying to replace them, but there's a lot of pictures.   --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 03:38, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
Well, yes and no. Thing is, the blu-ray editions of 1985 incarnation are coming and the image quality of the PAL DVD collection I have is so "acceptable to unworkable" that it tends to make firearm identification harder than necessary. I see you have dumped the archived data on Season 5 and 6, but currently, I keep that stuff in discussion. [[Talk:MacGyver (1985) - Season 2|I have some stuff already at Season 2's discussion page.]] But if you have yearning to do all the other seasons, I won't stop you. But once blu-rays of all the seasons are out, I'll get back to work with more conviction. [[User:TrickShotFinn|TrickShotFinn]] ([[User talk:TrickShotFinn|talk]]) 04:14, 12 September 2019 (EDT)


== Robocop ==
== Splitting up the Star Wars pages ==


Hey, great job at improving the screencaps on the [[Robocop]] page. They look great now! -[[User:Gunman69|Gunman69]] 08:10, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
I am planning to split all the Star Wars "trilogy" pages into their individual film pages. The current format makes it difficult for readers to tell what weapons are found in each of the individual movies, and it's an unnecessary deviation from the format of the rest of the wiki. There is some support for this as can be seen on the [[Talk:Star_Wars|Star Wars talk page]]. Seeing as you created the "trilogy" format originally, are you OK with me splitting up these pages? --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 18:03, 1 December 2019 (EST)
:I don't have any new screenshots. This split is purely splitting up the images that we have. --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 20:44, 1 December 2019 (EST)
:: I'll just split out The Rise of Skywalker for now. It's unreleased anyways. I'll see if there is a way to get some of the screencaps that you want. No guarantees.  --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 21:16, 1 December 2019 (EST)


I've been dissuaded from splitting up the prequel trilogy page by commando552; as for the original trilogy, I put that on hold because I was busy with schoolwork back then. I am going to split up the original trilogy page soon. --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 18:49, 11 February 2020 (EST)

I use the VLC too. I never tried saving them to PNG first then the JPEG. I may try that. Also I uploaded a new version of my cap. It's the same frame now. The first one I took was a little bit after. Some of the shots you took look better than others. The shot of Pacino and Studi in elevator looks great, more color.--[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 03:25, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

:Howdy! I've added the M1 Garand to Fargo Season 4 & supplied screenshots, but they're not the best quality. It seems you may have a better source than I do. I was wondering if you could perhaps update the screenshots. These were taken from "The Pretend War" (S4E04) starting at about 15:10 minutes in. It is very odd that the weapons being discussed & shown here are M1 Garands, however, they are never seen again after this scene. --[[User:RealEveryDay|RealEveryDay]] ([[User talk:RealEveryDay|talk]]) 12:27, 23 November 2020 (EST)


==.PNG Images==
:: I probably will update. Thanks for the details. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] ([[User talk:Ben41|talk]]) 19:06, 24 November 2020 (EST)


I have always used .PNGs in lieu of .Jpegs because, while they are bigger, they are of superior quality, especially when it comes to thumbnails. Therefore, identifying guns is easier as the images are clearer. Since the rules, standards and principles insists on space conserving .jpeg images, the Carlito's way page will probably be the last one I do using .PNGs. I decided this yesterday before you sent me this and just didn't think it was worth announcing, and the only reason the Carlito's Way images are .PNGs is because I was halfway done with doing them all when I picked up my work yesterday. Needless to say I'll conform to the rules this time, so long as the quality of the screencaps doesn't suffer too much. --[[User:Yournamehere|Yournamehere]] 22:50, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
:::Dude, thank you SO much for updating those screencaps for the Garand on Fargo season 4! You literally pulled the same frames I used! Well done. I appreciate your professionalism! o7 [[User:RealEveryDay|RealEveryDay]] ([[User talk:RealEveryDay|talk]]) 16:15, 6 December 2020 (EST)


==The Problem with the Pirates pages==
==The Stand (2020)==
Thanks for asking ahead of time :)  But I hate those pages.  There is little we can identify other than 'flintlock pistol, 'flintlock musket', 'flintlock blunderbuss', etc.  It's crap.  We can offer no other information other than what is completely obvious to the audience.  Gee. Jack Sparrow uses a flintlock pistol.  So what?  They didn't need US to tell them that.  And if we cannot identify what make, model of pistol (which is hard since so many are custom), then it is a complete waste of IMFDB server space to have the page.  I'm going to go on a deletion spree for all the lame pages with no screencaps on them.   It's a part of the rules and standards, that bad pages are NOT better than no pages at all.  Lame pages, especially lots of them, makes us look bad.  Good thing you're trying to fix a bunch of the bad existing pages.   I wish more members did that rather than create endless NEW pages that are lame.   [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 02:45, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
::Still a few innocuous scoped hunting rifles to screencap and there is a shot of Norris ([[Nicholas Lea]]) issuing what appears to be [[Glock 17]] pistols to the newly organized Boulder Free Zone Police in episode nine: "The Circle Closes".

I wasn't sure if you were going to be adding anymore pics to the page. I added 3 screencaps, I have a few others that can be added too if you're finshed. I had already capped the film the same time I uploaded the behind the scenes images. Which was at the end of Nov. but I didn't get off my ass and upload them so you beat me to it. Which is no big deal.--[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 16:44, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Hey, I noticed that you uploaded a high-quality [http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/File:BW_Deleted_Scene_1.jpg screenshot] of deleted scenes in BW. Could you tell me where you found the scenes in good quality?  [[User:Pustelga7|Pustelga7]] ([[User talk:Pustelga7|talk]]) 15:34, 24 February 2022 (EST)


The rifle you see in this picture is the exact same one that was used in ''[[The Interpreter]]''. I got the picture from the web site of Weapons Specialists, Ltd. in New York, which is the company that supplied the weapons to the production.  So it's a safe bet that this exact gun is the one from the movie.  You can see it's the same configuration and everything.  This same gun was also used in ''[[Lord of War]]'' (another movie for which Weapons Specialists supplied guns).
== Heavy Fire: Afghanistan page ==
http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Talk:Heavy_Fire:_Afghanistan


Also, the AK rifle in the movie is an AK-47, not an AKM (and most likely, it's a converted Poly Tech Legend). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 21:22, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
I've heavily improved the deleted Heavy Fire Afghanistan page, is it acceptable to add as a "Main" page now instead of just a preserved code Talk page?


== White Hunter Black Heart ==
== Contacting bunni ==


I'm into double rifles. Hope you weren't offended by my post on the discussion page, but it's fairly common for folks to mistake a double rifle for a double shotgun.I used to until a few years ago whne I set out to educate myself.Unfortunately it's all book learning. Personally I would love to own a double rifle - even a German double. But the German rifles start at $10,000 and go up to $20,000. The British doubles start at approximately $70,000 and go as high as $250,000. *Sigh*
Hello Ben41. As you may know, recently me and several other IMFDB users have been trying to find ways to resolve issues related to IMFDB accounts reported by several off-site IMFDB users (more details [[Talk:Main_Page#Issues_with_IMFDB_Accounts_Reported_by_Multiple_Users|here]]). We have been trying to contact site owner bunni about this issue, but it has been difficult to reach them. Especially since a similar attempt to contact bunni back in 2021, posted directly on their [[User_talk:Bunni#Regarding_a_user|talk page]], did not receive any replies.


I have the soul of a snob and the bank account of a working class joe. Oh well. The page looks good by the way.--[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 06:38, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
I have been suspecting that the contributions made by bunni the account, which since at least the last year have consisted exclusively of creating new user pages, is an automated process, and that bunni the user is actually no longer an active user of IMFDB. This makes it far more difficult to contact bunni, in turn making it far harder to resolve the issues related to account creation that we're currently facing. Do you, or anyone else in the IMFDB staff community, know of a more direct to contact bunni the user? --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 20:34, 17 July 2022 (EDT)

Thanks for redoing those caps. Gunmaster45 uploaded them for me before I knew I how to do them myself. Also I had figured Atwater's pistol was a Smith & Wesson 39, not a Commander. But I couldn't tell enough from my cap. Since you redid it, it's clear. I really need to start messing with the colors on the VLC payer like you talked about. I pretty sure there is only one dvd version of Extreme Prejudice. Also there is an M60 used by the cartel in the final shootout that I missed.

When fixing the broken titled pages, you should use the "Move" tool found under the "More ˅" menu next to the edit button.

Colt XSE links

... but the Colt XSE link does't link to anything, not even the Colt Rail Gun. Instead, the Colt Rail Gun link links to Colt XSE, and Colt XSE links to itself, and none of them directs to the actual page with the Colt Rail Gun. What is going on with the redirect here? --Wuzh (talk) 02:42, 13 February 2019 (EST)

P2000

I undid the edits on Girl in the Spider's Web, The, as it is definetly not USP, no safety, which is distinct feature of USP. It is P2000 with a customized rail, it seems

login issues

It's a storage issue. We're out again. Might try an upgrade tomorrow night since I have Monday off. --bunni (talk) 21:28, 25 May 2019 (EDT)

Yes, was out of memory again. I've made some tweaks that will buy a couple weeks but the site actually needs to move to completely new hardware. I won't be able to do that until the 17th of June. --bunni (talk) 00:54, 9 June 2019 (EDT)

Uploaded picture

Hi, I uploaded this picture ...

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

... that I ment to use on the Spider-Man: Far From Home page but when I had uploaded it I noticed some information about copywright was attached to the file, so I am now unshure if I can use this picture. I'm not a native English speaker or know very much about copywright rules so if you could help me and tell me if I can use that picture on the page or not I would be very grateful.

Stranger Things Season 3

I finished the page, guess we both decided to screencap it.--Mandolin (talk) 15:46, 6 July 2019 (EDT)

21 Jump Street

I purposely replaced the two screencaps of the page since it's norm to have full-sized/non-cropped screenshots. I assume that you reverted them due to the big presence of the F-word, but... do we really enforce censoring curse words? As far as I've seen, censoring them is not a common practice on this site (unlike nudity), although I could be wrong. --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 08:22, 6 July 2019 (EDT)

Fair enough. --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 06:10, 8 July 2019 (EDT)

Once Upon A Time In Hollywood

Some of your pictures for the page aren't showing up for some reason, I can't figure out why--Mandolin (talk) 12:57, 2 August 2019 (EDT)

SIMON rifle grenade in Terminator Genisys

A SIMON rifle grenade seems to have appeared in Terminator: Genisys, fired by Sarah out of a helicopter in the middle of the film. I think you missed that in your screencaps. --Wuzh (talk) 00:15, 9 September 2019 (EDT)

Re:Continuing on 1985 MacGyver

Well, yes and no. Thing is, the blu-ray editions of 1985 incarnation are coming and the image quality of the PAL DVD collection I have is so "acceptable to unworkable" that it tends to make firearm identification harder than necessary. I see you have dumped the archived data on Season 5 and 6, but currently, I keep that stuff in discussion. I have some stuff already at Season 2's discussion page. But if you have yearning to do all the other seasons, I won't stop you. But once blu-rays of all the seasons are out, I'll get back to work with more conviction.

Splitting up the Star Wars pages

I am planning to split all the Star Wars "trilogy" pages into their individual film pages. The current format makes it difficult for readers to tell what weapons are found in each of the individual movies, and it's an unnecessary deviation from the format of the rest of the wiki. There is some support for this as can be seen on the Star Wars talk page. Seeing as you created the "trilogy" format originally, are you OK with me splitting up these pages? --Wuzh (talk) 18:03, 1 December 2019 (EST)

I don't have any new screenshots. This split is purely splitting up the images that we have. --Wuzh (talk) 20:44, 1 December 2019 (EST)
I'll just split out The Rise of Skywalker for now. It's unreleased anyways. I'll see if there is a way to get some of the screencaps that you want. No guarantees. --Wuzh (talk) 21:16, 1 December 2019 (EST)

I've been dissuaded from splitting up the prequel trilogy page by commando552; as for the original trilogy, I put that on hold because I was busy with schoolwork back then. I am going to split up the original trilogy page soon. --Wuzh (talk) 18:49, 11 February 2020 (EST)

Luke Cage

Greetings! I added a lot of firearms to the Luke Cage - Season 2 article. Considering that you are its main contibutor, I was wondering if you could help identifying the guns. Thank you very much in advance.--Shabook (talk) 07:30, 4 May 2020 (EDT)

Request

Hi Ben, please change my username to Mirko. (bunni declined my request to make a new account) Can you also confirm that this is a Kel Tec P11? Trailer Park Boys#Unknown 2

Thanks --Slum 5050 (talk) 17:38, 16 October 2020 (EDT)

Hi again I have an issue. E-mails aren't being sent to me by the site. Bunni actually did accept my request and I should have received an account creation password email on the 12th and never got it , and tonight I've sent 'reset your password' to both of my emails and still nothing.--Slum 5050 (talk) 21:31, 16 October 2020 (EDT)

Screenshot Request

Howdy! I've added the M1 Garand to Fargo Season 4 & supplied screenshots, but they're not the best quality. It seems you may have a better source than I do. I was wondering if you could perhaps update the screenshots. These were taken from "The Pretend War" (S4E04) starting at about 15:10 minutes in. It is very odd that the weapons being discussed & shown here are M1 Garands, however, they are never seen again after this scene. --RealEveryDay (talk) 12:27, 23 November 2020 (EST)
I probably will update. Thanks for the details. --Ben41 (talk) 19:06, 24 November 2020 (EST)
Dude, thank you SO much for updating those screencaps for the Garand on Fargo season 4! You literally pulled the same frames I used! Well done. I appreciate your professionalism! o7 RealEveryDay (talk) 16:15, 6 December 2020 (EST)

The Stand (2020)

Still a few innocuous scoped hunting rifles to screencap and there is a shot of Norris (Nicholas Lea) issuing what appears to be Glock 17 pistols to the newly organized Boulder Free Zone Police in episode nine: "The Circle Closes". Glad you have the ability to screencap the streaming services. Huge help. --Jcordell (talk) 11:55, 15 February 2021 (EST)

User needs help accessing account

Hello, a user in the discord, User:Picturetheory, says they are having issues accessing their account and they aren't receiving emails, including the initial password email. They have made sure to whitelist imfdb.org and checked their spam. --AgentGumby (talk) 17:00, 10 December 2021 (EST)

Black Widow Deleted Scenes

Hey, I noticed that you uploaded a high-quality screenshot of deleted scenes in BW. Could you tell me where you found the scenes in good quality? Pustelga7 (talk) 15:34, 24 February 2022 (EST)

Heavy Fire: Afghanistan page

http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Talk:Heavy_Fire:_Afghanistan

I've heavily improved the deleted Heavy Fire Afghanistan page, is it acceptable to add as a "Main" page now instead of just a preserved code Talk page?

Contacting bunni

Hello Ben41. As you may know, recently me and several other IMFDB users have been trying to find ways to resolve issues related to IMFDB accounts reported by several off-site IMFDB users (more details here). We have been trying to contact site owner bunni about this issue, but it has been difficult to reach them. Especially since a similar attempt to contact bunni back in 2021, posted directly on their talk page, did not receive any replies.

I have been suspecting that the contributions made by bunni the account, which since at least the last year have consisted exclusively of creating new user pages, is an automated process, and that bunni the user is actually no longer an active user of IMFDB. This makes it far more difficult to contact bunni, in turn making it far harder to resolve the issues related to account creation that we're currently facing. Do you, or anyone else in the IMFDB staff community, know of a more direct to contact bunni the user? --Wuzh (talk) 20:34, 17 July 2022 (EDT)

S.W.A.T Season 6 Episode 1 & 2

What happen to the firearms from the two part premiere of S.W.A.T Season 6 episodes 1 & 2? Because I known most of the rifles in those episodes were AK variants.

Please don't perform cut-and-paste page moves

When fixing the broken titled pages, you should use the "Move" tool found under the "More ˅" menu next to the edit button. Do not copy all the contents of a page and paste them into a new page; not only is this much more work, it also causes breaks in page histories that might cause further issues down the line.--Wuzh (talk) 18:30, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

How do I make a page?

I've decided to make a Die Hard Arcade page and I'm not sure if I should make a Elevator Action Returns page so I would like to ask for advice. --Mojo72400 (talk) 12:27, 18 February 2023 (PST)

UFO Aftermath

Okay if I create a new page for UFO Aftermath? I have taken screenshots and uploaded them, the lack of which seems to be the reason the original page was deleted.: https://www.imfdb.org/wiki/User:Samz/Sandbox --Samz (talk) 15:30, 30 March 2023 (PST)

Filipino movies featured for independence day

Hi! I would like to ask if we could feature a selection of Filipino movies on the Main Page for the week of Philippine Independence Day (June 11 to 17). It would be really nice if Filipino cinema gets some recognition, even if it's only for just a week. Thank you! (also, thank you for featuring the Fatman page last Christmas!) --Dnkakusei (talk) 05:13, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Changing the title of "M83 Smoke Grenade" to "M83 smoke grenade"

Hey Ben. Tried to do a redirect from "M83 Smoke Grenade" to "M83 smoke grenade" since the latter already exists. Ultimate94ninja advised me to seek out a moderator (or admin) to make the change. So I'm here to ask for help on the matter. Ominae (talk) 02:31, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
