==Extra work on the SG-1 page==
== Infoboxes ==


Hey, I really like all the work you've done to make the SG-1 page into a comprehensive list of all the weapons that have appeared on the show. However, I must ask...would you be OK if I did some extra work on it just to make it a little less taxing on the eyes? When you have lots and lots of screenshots, it's usually a good idea to make them into thumbnails on the page so that they don't wind up being an eyesore.
Hey. So first off, a disclaimer, I am posting the following message for each of the Admins so don't think I'm spamming. Just want to get input from all of you. I have been working on a number of infoboxes for different pages ([[Template:Infobox Movie]], [[Template:Infobox TV]], [[Template:Infobox Video Game]]). I have already gotten some help from [[Bunni]] who installed an additional add-on to facilitate the templates. I would love to get some feedback from you (and other admins) regarding these. Do you like the format? Are there things you would like changed? Should additional information be added? The nice thing is that with the add-on that [[Bunni]] installed, you do not have to provide all the information for the infobox. Any variables left blank will simply not be printed.


Additionally, I'd also recommend you add episode info to each screenshot (if you've got it), as well as pictures of the guns from our archive so that anyone browsing this site will have something to compare it to. See what I've done on the section for the very first gun on the page (the Beretta M9) as an ex of what I mean.
Finally, I would like to see how you feel about my adding these to pages. I have gotten positive feedback from a number of users (including at least 3 admins) but before I add this to more than a dozen or so pages (which I have done for testing purposes) I want to really get full permission. I know that sweeping changes are a '''MAJOR''' no-no without full admin approval. Check out the thread in the forum (http://forum.imfdb.org/showthread.php?t=1942). I look forward to hearing your feedback! :-) --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 11:15, 9 May 2012 (CDT)




-If you want to make the page better, go right ahead. I had no problems with the size of some of the pics cause I think it draws attention, but if you think it is better a little smaller, go right ahead. I'm still new to the wiki editting, so I don't know how to do everything.

==SG-1 Screenshots==
Hello, good sir, I hope you don't mind me posting this here, if so please take every right to delete it. But, I have come to plead for your help and expertise. I have added some new discussion to Leon's handgun(s) in Resident Evil 6, and I am asking for your opinion, and if you agree with the evidence I have provided, that you could back me up. If you think I'm an idiot I will admit defeat haha I'm only asking for your expertise. Thanks, again.  --[[User talk:TheREwiz|TheREwiz]]


GREAT WORK! on the SG1 screen shots.  I just wish more people knew how to do great screen shots and put them in the pages.  It really makes the page great! BTW: I will be doing more custom gun photographs soon and I will be photographing my own USAS-12 with both stick and drum magazines in place.  I try to grab as many real movie guns from my own inventory (plus guns from the inventory of professional colleagues as I can), but they're in the biz of making movies and get annoyed with me sometimes, since I always want to take softbox photos of their guns against a white background.  I will GET shots of the actual guns from T-2 perhaps in a month when I get a chance.  Great WORK on the SG1 pics!
== Resident Evil Apocalypse ==
[[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]]


I was wondering if I could have your permission to work on Resident Evil Apocalypse you know make the weapons all sorted out like it is on the resident evil extinction page? If not then I wont bother you again.


==SG-1 guns==
Thank you it will be great.


Hi,
== Uploading image ==


Your pages for the Stargate movies and TV show are really awesome! Thanks for all the hard work you've put in! I wish I could do the same, except my POS laptop has been really acting up lately and I literally can't play any of my DVDs on it right now.
i need some help the gun i want to upload doesn't appear in the image's place how do i fix that [[User:Balin21]]


Anyway, I just thought I'd help out with some extra details, in case you find them relevant:
== The Walking Dead video game ==


*(1.) Most of the M16A2s on ''SG1'', especially in the early seasons, are actually M16A1s that have been fitted with A2-style handguards. You can tell because they have A1-style receivers which lack the brass deflector and the elevation-adjustable rear sight (look closely at the rifle in the top picture, for instance). A few of them (usually in non-firing scenes) are actually civilian AR15 SP1s which lack even the forward assist and the magazine fencing.
Have you heard about a walking dead video game by telltale games i think it might have alot of gun in it? [[User:Balin21]]


*(2.) I believe the AKs used by the Russian SG team are actually Norinco Type 84s, which is a Chinese AK variant that fires 5.56x45mm. In the show, they seem to be fitted with AK74-style folding stocks and muzzle breaks, but the design of the magazine (steel and ribbed, not plastic like the real AK74) gives them away.
== Daryl's New Crossbow ==


*(3.) The AKs used by the Hondurans are a Yugoslav copy called the [[Zastava M70|Zastava M70B]].
If we identify what type of crossbow it is can we put it on the walking dead season 3 page?--[[User:Balin21|Balin21]] ([[User talk:Balin21|talk]]) 15:04, 5 March 2013 (EST)


*(4.) Many of the M203s on ''SG1'' are look-a-like 37mm Colt flare launchers, which is very common in many movies and TV shows when they don't want to spend the money - or go through the legal difficulties - of getting real M203s (which are NFA-regulated items).
== Anime ==


*(5.) As far as the "Carter Special" (the little AR with the thumbhole stock) goes, the picture you posted to illustrate it is an airsoft replica. The guy who built it (for that "Stargate6.com" site that doesn't work anymore) once posted about it on Airsoft Retreat, years ago now. Somebody else actually built a real one, except that it was semi-auto only and had been registered as an SBR in that person's state. I wish so much that I remember where the hell I saw/heard about it! -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]]
You will have to talk to [[Bunni]] about that. Best way to reach him is to shoot him an [[Special:EmailUser/Bunni|email]]. I know we are looking for more people to contribute! --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] <span style="color:green">''IMFDB Chief of Operations''</span> ([[User talk:Zackmann08|talk]]) 22:02, 18 July 2013 (EDT)


==Contributions to IMFDB response==
==Trigun page==
It says one of your contributions is Flashpoint. Respectively, I'd like to mention I've listed almost every gun on their and every picture, screenshots and all to the page. No offense of course, but I have to brag to someone :). I cleaned up you profile page, hope you don't mind.
Took long enough, but [[Trigun|I think I'm done]]. I suppose I should do the movie too at some point.--[[User:PistolJunkie|PistolJunkie]] ([[User talk:PistolJunkie|talk]]) 01:50, 14 September 2013 (EDT)


::Alright, you did a lot of listing and then some pictures, but I also did some additions as well as add my own pictures. I mean, the series is pretty new, at the 4th episode and I named about 3 weapons and uploaded a handful of pictures. I think that much work than minor additions deserves to be "contributions" than on just "minor" additions. I mean if the series was complete and there is always a pretty complete page with photos and I jumped in and added my own, then yeah, that's a minor addition. But since I am doing my best with this new series since it's hard to find screenshots, I think I deserve a mention.

He's overestimating his contribution to at least the first two Telltale Walking Dead games. The majority contributor was ''me'' on those and I painstakingly screencapped many of the images from YouTube playthroughs (hence the varying quality) while others I got from the TWD Wiki (which I did with their permission, mind you). Not saying others didn't contribute as well, but "almost entirely" is a bit of a stretch. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] ([[User talk:Spartan198|talk]]) 00:13, 10 September 2019 (EDT)
 
I figured that the guy is a liar. I mean people have been kicked from here for being racist. I have a reasonable suspicion that the former user has a name here related to his Avatar on Quoara. The guy is not in fact banned but he was probably warned that his behavior was out of line. [[User:Rockwolf66|Rockwolf66]] ([[User talk:Rockwolf66|talk]]) 02:10, 10 September 2019 (EDT)
 
Apparently, what ultimately prompted him to write this is the fact that I indirectly mentioned him in the BF5 talk page, even though I was talking more about the situation that happened back then, not because it was specifically him. I mean, I barely had any interaction with him, and it doesn't matter which user it was, I would have made the same comment anyway. --[[User:Ultimate94ninja|Ultimate94ninja]] ([[User talk:Ultimate94ninja|talk]]) 02:44, 10 September 2019 (EDT)
 
Wow, talk about narcissistic much. Anyway, I'm pretty sure this guy is [[User talk:Godzillafan93|Godzillafan93]], since he's the one that seems to have contributed most after me on the Walking Dead pages and his talk page has the exchange with Tim regarding "Jap" on it that this Steven McReynolds mentions. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] ([[User talk:Spartan198|talk]]) 05:34, 10 September 2019 (EDT)
 
I wouldn't call this guy a stalker. More like some disgruntled dude with an axe to grind. "not racist enough". Guess he doesn't know what race we all are. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] ([[User talk:Excalibur01|talk]]) 20:56, 10 September 2019 (EDT)
 
I think everyone who's been monitoring this long enough knows I actually haven't made any edits or messages in a long ass time. WACO was the last page I made. I really don't go out of my way to correct users unless to make a direct conversation. I really don't know what he's referring to about me correcting his racist comments. Though I am flattered that he'd address me as "Marine Corps" [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] ([[User talk:Excalibur01|talk]]) 21:00, 10 September 2019 (EDT)
 
 
Ok, so apparently if someone calls a female character a mary sue, one of us is going to accuse us of being a misogynist? Are we the thought police now? I seriously don't believe Eviltim is like that. [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] ([[User talk:Excalibur01|talk]]) 21:03, 10 September 2019 (EDT)
 
: Lol this guy, huh? For the record, the chunk of his rant about his old 'Mary Sue' remark was me, so I apologize to Tim and/or you for getting smeared with that. ;P And I only merely thought it was worth mentioning because if he wants to waste time grandstanding on social and cultural etiquette maybe he could start by practicing what he preaches. A lesson I suppose he's learned now - "How pathetic does your life have to be for you to waste that much time on something this trivial?" Indeed. XD But whatever, I guess it's his life and all. Glad he's still using the site as a resource though - After all I always thought that's really what we're here for. ;) [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 21:29, 10 September 2019 (EDT)

Infoboxes

Hey. So first off, a disclaimer, I am posting the following message for each of the Admins so don't think I'm spamming. Just want to get input from all of you. I have been working on a number of infoboxes for different pages (Template:Infobox Movie, Template:Infobox TV, Template:Infobox Video Game).

Do you like the format? Are there things you would like changed? Should additional information be added?
