Eagle Eye
The description of how Jerry uses the Glock in the film was left purposely vague to not provide spoilers. --Ben41 20:43, 8 July 2011 (CDT)
- Oh, I'm sorry. I'll fix that if it hasn't been already. My bad.
Bill Cosby

MW3 M1911
The description is deliberately vague to avoid needless spoilers. While fighting Makarov at the end is about as big a surprise as Mario fighting Bowser, it isn't really obvious from the image that the body is Soap (I deliberately didn't look at Soap so his name wouldn't appear and stood so you couldn't see anything distinctive) and I don't think it's really necessary to say it is.

Uploading Screenshots
If you mistakenly overwrite an existing screenshot, you can tap the "Revert" command in order to change it back. This is located in the "File History" box on the left when you click the image. You can then change the resolution from "600px" to "601px" to see the changed picture on the page.
It's best when uploading screenshots from TV, that you put the name and episode number in your filename, ex. for Southland Season 4 Episode 3, you could put as a filename: SouthS4E03 Beretta. --Ben41 (talk) 01:07, 10 March 2013 (EST)
- Don't worry about putting "the episode" before every title since it already has the season and episode number. --Ben41 (talk) 01:23, 15 March 2013 (EDT)
- That aside, can you not revert the edits I made to clarify certain pictures? I spent time on that, and I'd rather you discuss it with me before you completely remove it. I corrected some redundancy and specified important things, and I'm a little miffed that I worked on it just to have it be removed. Glock172 (talk) 16:41, 15 March 2013 (EDT)
