| '''The page thumbnail isn't updating when I upload a new version of an image'''
| | == I guess, I made ID of Thark Rifle in John Carter movie == |
|
| |
|
| IMFDB uses a hosting service called Cloudflare. One side-effect of this is that there is a Cloudflare server between IMFDB's server and you, so uploading a new version of an image updates the image on the actual server, but it doesn't update the one stored in Cloudflare's cache for a while, and that's what people see. You can force an update to the thumbnail by changing the size of the displayed image by even a single pixel, but the image itself you just have to wait for. So just change it from, say 600px to 601px after uploading the new image and it should update on the page.
| | At the ''[[John Carter (2012)|John Carter]]'' movie, most Tharks (Green Martian clan) use Thark Martian rifles. Of course, it was futurised guns, but, after closing inspection of the original movie props, I notice, that's this futusistic rifles were made from [[Tanegashima]]s (of course, a modern replicas). For proving this guess, I made a photoshoping compilation of the movie props and modern Tanegashima replica. So, I guess, that's useful to ID the gun as Tanegashma.

| == Foreign language titles with translated titles that start with "The" == | | == Blue Muzzle Flashes == |
|
| |
|
| So the IMFDB policy on films with foreign titles only is to use a translated title and include the original title in brackets after the title. However, when "The" appears at the start of the translated title, our policy is apparently to move it to the end of the title too. This creates confusing titles like [[Gleiwitz Case (Der Fall Gleiwitz), The]], [[White Guard (Belaya gvardiya), The]], or the extremely confusing [[Star (Zvezda), The (1949)]], which adds a year at the end of the title. These titles are very confusing for several reasons: one is that the title is partially broken up due to the "The" policy, meaning that the translated title loses its "The", which can change its meaning. Two is that these translated titles are not actually official titles; sorting them with or without "the" is meaningless since we're sorting them by an unofficial title created solely for IMFDB. If anything, they should be sorted by their original language title. Thus, I propose that these titles should be exempt from the "The" rule, and they should use <nowiki>{{DEFAULTSORT}}</nowiki> to sort them based on their original language titles. --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 15:23, 12 January 2019 (EST)
| | Something I have noticed with classic action films, mostly within the 80's era, is that a lot of muzzle flashes appear more blue than yellow. Did this have something to do with the type of blanks/props that were being used back then, or was this just a result of 1980's cinematography? --[[User:Theakker3|Theakker3]] ([[User talk:Theakker3|talk]]) 12:40, 28 March 2023 (UTC) |
| : We add years to differentiate between same-named titles; remakes and series and so forth. It's a unilateral practice and one that I fail to see makes anything ''more'' confusing. That said, [[Rules,_Standards_and_Principles#The_American_Release_Title_takes_precedence|our rule]] on the matter seems to handle the rest of your so-called 'problem'. If there's no official title, we use a translated title except in certain instances, simple as that. This is how we do it, and have done it for all this time with - until now - no complaint whatsoever that I'm aware of. And if the translation includes a 'the' to it (and I'll grant that may be an optional linguistic liberty in some cases), well there it is. I don't think anybody's willing to get into a debate on the merits of translation and usage here. That aside this is just an extension of your previous complaint about the 'the' issue, and like that issue this is a 'problem' that again no one has raised as such other than you.

| :: Fine. With no support, I'm not gonna pursue a policy change. But my opinion won't be changing in the slightest. The IMFDB policy is ''very'' flawed and is only maintained out of sheer laziness. --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 18:03, 12 January 2019 (EST)

| ::: Hey I'm just one user who provided a counterargument, I don't decide things around here or anything so don't be defeated so quick - at least give it a bit and see how others respond. Not saying it will make a change happen per-say but who knows? That said you can have any opinion you like about the standards - I certainly don't agree with absolutely everything myself - but they're what we got and what we operate on; saying one way is poorer or better is mostly subjective. For the record, I'm pretty sure the RS&P were arrived at with some consideration and thought. Which brings me to my final 'for the record' remark: I doubt calling the rest of us lazy is going to gain you any support in anything. Just sayin'.

| : We had [[Talk:Main_Page/Archive_8#The_Titling.2C_The|that discussion]] already. That being said Tamarin now you have made the insinuation I took issue with before - one that frankly peeves me quite a bit. That said, no I don't believe there is any dire need to go about such a massive wholesale change on the site that really will improve next-to-absolutely-nothing on here aside from satisfying some aesthetic ideal. Imply we're a bunch of lazy slobs for it if you want, but again that is one of the methods that is least likely to get us to consider changing anything. But perhaps no one has bothered putting forth the effort for this 'problem' because there is none and as such the effort is not nearly worth the bother.

Most of the time I decided to back down and not pursue further when situation begins to escalate. While I was never banned because of those conflicts, the manner these previous disputes were handled made me feel uncomfortable about the administration of IMFDB.

I would say the best way is "discuss your issue with the admin in question" and the worst way is "edit war with the admin."

| | :First off, welcome aboard. As for your question, if it's a pre-existing page, then pointing out a specific gun that doesn't already have a screencap is fine, as long as you're specific about when and where it appears (though having a screencap is always preferable). If it's for a page that doesn't exist yet, we'd prefer not - we have an excess of pages without screencaps as-is.

| == A question to French-speaking colleagues ==
| |
| | |
| Can anybody with French language help to translate the following?
| |
| | |
| "Sur les deux photos ci-dessus il me semble que le FLG utilisé n'est pas un MAS 36,ou un de ses dérivés, mais plutôt un modèle réalisé spécifiquement pour la Police Nationale sur la base de Mauser Kar 98k (Photo n°2) ou d'US17 (Photo n°1) vers 1960 par la société MECA de Meaux.
| |
| Ces FLG ;également baptisés "Fusils lance-grenades à détente"; tiraient des grenades à retard de types "Criquet" propulsées par une cartouche feuillette de "7,62 mm Long" (30-06) la chambre et le "canon" ayant été "étudiés pour" et ne permettant pas le tir à balle (J HUON)."
| |
| | |
| It is about French smoke grenade launcher, used by law enforcement in 1960s. I used google translator but it hardly can correctly translate all specific terms. Many thanks in advance! [[User:Greg-Z|Greg-Z]] ([[User talk:Greg-Z|talk]]) 13:34, 14 July 2019 (EDT)
| |
| | |
| :For starters, as you might have noticed, FLG stands for "fusil lance-grenades" (rifle w/ grenade launcher). In the firearms context, "détente" normally means trigger, though in that specific sentence I don't know what was exactly meant (I'm fluent in French, but I can sometimes be unfamiliar with some technical firearm-related terms). According to [https://www.armes-ufa.com/spip.php?article2382 that article], the "cartouche feuillette" apparently isn't exactly a blank cartridge, but a propulsive cartridge named after the guy who invented it. Other than that, here's what the overall text means in English:
| |
| | |
| :"In the two images above, it seems to me that the FLG used isn't a MAS 36 or one of its derivatives, but rather a model released specifically for the National Police on the basis of Mauser Kar 98k (image no. 2) or US17 (image no. 1) circa 1960 by the company MECA from Meaux. Those FLGs, also called "Fusils lance-grenades à détente", fired "Cricket" type timed grenades propelled by a feuillette cartridge of "7.62mm Long" (30-06), the chamber and the "barrel" having been "studied for" and not allowing bullet firing (J. Huon)"
| |
| | |
| :And yes, the author of the comment wrote that last sentence a bit weirdly. But anyway, hope that helps a bit. --[[User:Ultimate94ninja|Ultimate94ninja]] ([[User talk:Ultimate94ninja|talk]]) 18:08, 14 July 2019 (EDT)

| ::Thanks a lot! So, it appears to be an old rifle, 98k or Enfield M17 (I guess that US17 means this gun), fitted with Tromblon VB-style cup discharger and converted to special propulsive cartriges to launch a smoke grenade without risk of firing a bullet. This launcher appears in some French movies, like [[Two_Men_in_Town_(Deux_hommes_dans_la_ville)#Smoke_Grenade_Launcher|this one]] and now it's possible to describe it properly. I only wonder how we have to call it, as "Fusils lance-grenades à détente" seems to be a generic name for such kind of weapon rather than the service name of this particular weapon; and FLG is even more generic. --[[User:Greg-Z|Greg-Z]] ([[User talk:Greg-Z|talk]]) 09:43, 15 July 2019 (EDT)
| |
| :::I'm not sure if there was a specific designation to it, so I guess you can just identify it as a modified (and cut down) Kar 98k fitted with a Tromblon VB. In fact, it is mentioned in [http://www.tircollection.com/t32162-k98-modifie-en-fusil-lance-grenade-service-d-ordre this forum] that the Paris Prefecture used that weapon in the 1960s (more exactly, "a rifle with grenade launcher built around a standard Mauser rifle cut at the level of the first sling swivel with a mounted tromblon grenade launcher intended for the propulsion of "57mm cricket" grenades and propelled with a .30-06 propellant cartridge"), and the movie gun does look like the K98 shown in one of the images. --[[User:Ultimate94ninja|Ultimate94ninja]] ([[User talk:Ultimate94ninja|talk]]) 06:26, 17 July 2019 (EDT)
| |
| ::::And again thanks! So this weapon is found in two movies: ''[[Two_Men_in_Town_(Deux_hommes_dans_la_ville)#Karabiner_98k.2FTromblon_VB_Smoke_Grenade_Launcher|Deux hommes dans la ville]]'' and ''[[There_Was_Once_a_Cop_(Il_était_une_fois_un_flic...)#Karabiner_98k.2FTromblon_VB_Smoke_Grenade_Launcher|Il était une fois un flic...]]'', both early 1970s. I had to use a cropped footage as a sample of the weapon. It's interesting that original WW1 era Viven-Bessières launcher had 50mm or 51mm caliber (sources differ), and the smoke "tromblon" was slightly larger, 57mm, so these police launchers appear to be not converted old military VB but newly produced although technically the same. --[[User:Greg-Z|Greg-Z]] ([[User talk:Greg-Z|talk]]) 13:52, 17 July 2019 (EDT)

| ::Now, these two receivers also appear to be similar to the frankenreceiver from MW.

However, in all three cases the cutout for the extended bolt release lever is squareish and bigger instead of the small and circular one of the CTR-02 and have a bulge that is not present on the CTR-02.

This is a 12 gauge pump-action shotgun M1 (yes, that is its official name), developed by gunsmith Alexander Marchenko (Zaporozhye, Ukrainian region) in 1982. As always, obviously only a few were made. --[[User:Slon95|Slon95]] ([[User talk:Slon95|talk]]) 16:54, 3 October 2019 (EDT)

| I swear that it looks like either MEU or a Warrior, both of which would be air guns. The thing I'm using it to determine is (for now) the hammer. [[User:Ominae|Ominae]] ([[User talk:Ominae|talk]]) 07:10, 17 October 2019 (EDT)
