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.

==Hi==
== Colt XSE links ==


Hey, Ben,
... 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)


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


*(1.) Always include gun pictures along with the screencaps from the movie.
== login issues ==
*(2.) Always make sure you link to the gun pages.


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.
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)
: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)


Thanks, and again, great work so far. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 19:36, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
== 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.

== Hey Ben ==
==Stranger Things Season 3==
I was wondering if i could redo your page for [[Rules of Engagement]]. I dont want to step on any toes, but with your permission, I'll make it look real pretty. :) -[[User:The_Winchester|Winchester]]
I finished the page, guess we both decided to screencap it.--[[User:Mandolin|Mandolin]] ([[User talk:Mandolin|talk]]) 15:46, 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
== 21 Jump Street ==


==Your screencaps are too big==
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)
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)
:Fair enough. --[[User:Ultimate94ninja|Ultimate94ninja]] ([[User talk:Ultimate94ninja|talk]]) 06:10, 8 July 2019 (EDT)


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)
==Once Upon A Time In Hollywood==

Hey, great job at improving the screencaps on the [[Robocop]] page. They look great now! -[[User:Gunman69|Gunman69]] 08:10, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
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)

== Re:Continuing on 1985 MacGyver ==


Thanks, still a work in progress, but I really wanted to up the quality of the pics. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 08:29, 6 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)


==New Heat screencaps==
== Splitting up the Star Wars pages ==
Were those taken from a Blu-ray? --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 15:53, 18 November 2009 (UTC)


:No, these caps are from the Special Edition DVD. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 01:01, 19 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)


Ok, did you mess with the color? The reason I ask is the new pic you uploaded of DeNiro seems to have more grain in the pic.
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)
[[Image:Heat-M16A2-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Your pic.]]
[[Image:HT-00001.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A quick one I took]]
It's not the same exact frame but close. My DVD is the '05 Two-Disc Special Edition. Also when someone sends you a message on your talk page, you reply back on theirs. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 02:53, 19 November 2009 (UTC)


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)
==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.--[[User:Shabook|Shabook]] ([[User talk:Shabook|talk]]) 07:30, 4 May 2020 (EDT)
==The Unit==
Please tell me you're going to replace all of the older pics with your newer more awesome pics.  That will motivate me to get more screen used guns for the page. :)  [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 07:42, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
 
==.PNG Images==
 
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)
 
==The Problem with the Pirates pages==
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)
 
==Aliens==
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)
 
==Stargate==
:I've noticed that the screencaps that you upload are much brighter/clearer than mine -are you using Blu Ray? --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 05:22, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
 
==The Interpreter==
 
[[Image:Henry US Survival.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Henry US Survival .22 LR with M68 Aimpoint red dot scope]]
 
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).
 
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)
 
== White Hunter Black Heart ==
 
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*

WOW!  Great work on the replacement screenshots!!!!!! are those Blu-ray?  Stunning!  Now I need to secretly ask you to fix some of the popular (but poorly screencapped) pages ;)  nudge nudge wink wink .....  [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 07:41, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
::BTW, per IMFDB rules, you can replace existing screenshots with your much superior widescreenshots.  Some of the pages you've worked on, you seem hesitant to replace the crappier pics.  By ALL MEANS replace the crappier pics!  Great screenshots are a wonder to behold.  Like [[Eraser]], i hope you can replace the full screen caps.  No one can complain.  The rules say that Widescreen are preferable to fullscreen. :)  Also, do you check the forum?  I was hoping to PM you there. Send me a PM there so I can reply to it. :)  [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 02:56, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
==Extreme Prejudice==
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. I think they are killed by Atwater. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 16:22, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Alright you must a magic setting when it comes to adjusting the colors on the VLC. I was able to make them better that what it was but still not as sharp.

Deinterlace? Where is that at? I didn't see it in Video effects. I messed with the gamma some. Maybe I need to use it more instead of brightness. What about hue and contrast also? Thanks for your help on this. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 02:55, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Yeah the program I have been using is not the best, and I could not change aspect ratio settings for some reason. I just downloaded the VLC player that you wrote about on your main page.

==Marked for Death==
 
I'm glad to see someone is doing a page for this movie!
 
That being said, Hatcher's 1911 in the movie is not an SVI (I don't think those even existed when the movie was made).  We had a topic about this in the forum, but the 1911 in the movie is a Federal Ordnance PSP-07.  It's mentioned in the credits for the movie.  Check out the forum topic here:
 
http://www.imfdb.org/forum/showthread.php?t=853
 
Also, the H&K automatic weapon used by Hatcher is not an HK53 (in fact, it's not even a .223-caliber weapon, if you look at the magazine).  It is called the "HK51K", and it's a custom G3 conversion done by Bill Fleming, a Class III manufacturer.

==Enhanced image request==
Could you enhance this image from Dirty Harry. The reason I ask is to better see the magnum markings. This one guy keeps changing it to a Model 57 a 41 magnum. It looks like it reads 44 magnum on the barrel. But an enhanced image would make it read better. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 19:22, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

== The Eiger Sanction ==
I'v made a couple changes. Hemlock is actually using a [[Smith & Wesson Model 40]] and not a Model 49 Bodyguard. Also the henchman is using hwat appears to be a snubby [[Smith & Wesson Model 10]] instead of the [[Smith & Wesson Model 15]] snubbie. If you look closely at the screencap you will notice no adjustable sights. The revolver appears to have fixed or duty sights which would make it the Model 10. Also I went ahead and listed the weapons used by Hemlock on [[Clint Eastwood]] 's page. And also showed on the respective firearms pages. But nevertheless it's good work. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 00:49, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
 
==Great work on Waterworld==
I hope you finish the page. :)  There are many dressed up guns in that movie.  Alas, most of the weapons were changed back after the movie was over, but I can see what I can get from Syd Stembridge regarding what guns still exist that appeared in that movie.  Thanks [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 01:12, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

== Re: Actor's Pages ==
 
Thanks for the heads up, Ben. I agree that the pages look ''much'' better in the table format, but I've seen several different examples on different pages in terms of what column is which, so I figured I'd leave them in the basic format. However, it seems that now we've reached a more streamlined pattern (such as on the page you alerted me to), so I'll be sure to follow that from then on. On a side note, all of your pages look great, the screencaps are very sharp! Nice work! --[[User:Speakeasy804|Speakeasy804]] 00:45, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

==New pages==
Hey, Ben41! :)  You're an awesome screencapper and page fixer, but, please, don't create multiple new pages with no screen caps.  At least have some of the graphics ready to roll BEFORE the page is rolled out.  Creating new pages with no screenshots or graphics inspires other (less capable page makers) to create scads of new empty pages with only gun listings.  Thanks.  [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 00:42, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
:BTW I have 100% confidence that '''you''' will populate the page with great caps, but the worry is that others will do the first part and not the second part.  thanks.
 
==We Were Soldiers==
I love your HD screencaps.  And I know that you have the discipline to put in an appropriate number of screencaps.  Heck you can replace even the ones I put in.  LOL.  It's all about the quality of the pics and the page.  I'm just trying to get rid of the full screen caps which I dislike.  Anyway, I know you're busy so I started working on the page - it being one of the most VIEWED pages on IMFDB.  Did you notice I added more SCREEN USED hero guns to the page? ;)  I can probably get more in the future when I  have time.  I just have to check with Mike Papac as to what guns were used on the production (but that takes time and checking records, etc.).  [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 00:54, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
 
==Thanks for the help on WWS==
Your screencaps look awesome.  A little favor though. We're trying to keep the screencaps from between 7-10 per section.  I was going to cull the XM16 page, but since you did an awesome job of replacing the full screen shots, I was hoping you would do the honors.  A big criticism of the page when it was done earlier was the overuse of screenshots (the XM16 page had 33 screencaps at one point).  Thanks again for your great work on the page.  [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 06:33, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

==Virtuosity==
 
Hey, Ben, good work on ''[[Virtuosity]]'', but I have a question.  Do you have screenshots of the following characters/weapons from the movie:
 
* Denzel Washington gets an H&K USP from a transport guard and uses it later in the movie.
 
* A bunch of the police officers in the movie also use the Beretta 92F, especially at the club.
 
* One of the terrorists in the flashback sequence is armed with an M16-type rifle, I think an M16A1 with A2-style hand guards (can't tell).
 
If you don't mind grabbing these screencaps, I'd appreciate it.  It would complete the page.  Gracias. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 16:22, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
 
:Thanks!  Also, I think the subguns used in the movie may be [[Walther MPL]] or MPK, not Franchi LF-57s (I started a discussion about it). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 16:33, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
 
==Some Last of the Mohicans guns==
Hey there. Glad to see how much work you've done on the page. :)  I had some pics of some of the background muskets (used by civilians and indians) that were 'rescued' from the production by one of the gunsmiths I knew who worked on the picture.  As you know, the vast majority of the guns were destroyed during the filming (the stuntmen pretty much used their muskets as clubs in most of the fight scenes) and over 400 Brown Bess muskets were destroyed.  I have a pic of two background guns.  Is there any screenshot which may have these in them?  I know they were for  background people.  One is a modern repro of a common commercial flintlock firearm of the time period, the other is known as a trade gun, i.e. a lesser quality flintlock that had less parts and craftsmanship, developed specifically for trade with the Indians (i.e. they let the 'locals' get the more cheaply made muskets).  Anyway, just wondering if you thought we should add this to your excellent page.

Thanks [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 00:35, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
::Actually those were real firing muskets (modern replicas) of civilian muskets, so they were issued to the Colonists volunteers to represent 'private purchase' weapons of the civilians.  The Trade muskets were issued to allied Indians to the British Army as they were the 18th century equivalent of 'lend lease' to friendly Indian tribes.  They were indeed fired.  All non-firing guns were rubber.  The reason why so many guns were destroyed was that after 2 weeks of filming a lot of the actors and stuntmen and background extras were really banging on each other with the guns as clubs during the many days of 'hand to hand fighting' filming.    I suspect the filmmakers expected this since the production '''purchased''' the muskets, they didn't rent the majority of them, except for select hero guns.  Thanks.  So the info on the movie page isn't quite right. :)  [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 19:05, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

==The film page template==
I noticed that you changed the template for [[The American]].  That template has an interesting history.  I've never used it because I was one of the early ones who didn't like that formatting change.  Some users created a template that had the poster line BELOW the summary line amongst other slight changes.  There was no consensus.  I think just one person came up with it and used it.  But I always did it the way that Bunni did it.  The majority of the site was Bunni's way.  But ever since one of the Mods made their own 'user's template' people have started changing pages to conform with it, which I never agreed with.  Just letting you know, as a mod, I've always been changing them back to the original style from when the site first began.    I still think the poster should be aligned top most and to the upper rightmost corner of the page to start with, which means the poster image line should be first on the page, just because that's the way 90% of the site was when it first started and I thought it looked best.  Just thought I'd give you some of the interesting background history, (and why most of the pages which I work on are changed to that way, moreso if I did all the work on the page, which I did NOT on [[The American]] which is someone else's page.  :)  [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 05:35, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

==Jesse Ventura==
I'm not one to trust Wikipedia. Ventura might have served in Vietnam, but is said not to have saw actual combat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Ventura#Navy_career Otherwise I would have included him when I wrote up the Richard Chaves page. I was wanting to do more research into Ventura's military career. Ventura is a veteran though.
 
Also before I build an actor page I search their name before I build the article, take Melanie Griffith she also used a SIG P230 in Season 3 of Miami Vice.--[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 14:08, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

I thinking the wording Chaves' page should be: "Best known for his role as Poncho in Predator, Richard served in the Army's 101st Airborne Division, he is one of two actors in the film that served in the Vietnam War. The other being Jesse Ventura who served in the Navy's UDT."
 
Alt wording could be "Best known for his role as Poncho in Predator, Richard served in the Army's 101st Airborne Division, he is one of two actors in the film that are Vietnam veterans. The other being Jesse Ventura who served in the Navy's UDT." Or if you can think of better wording, go for it. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 14:36, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
 
==Miami Vice vs 24==
I'm going to wrap up season four of Vice probably next week. Then I'll get started on season five. When that gets finished we'll be able to do an accurate count on the total number of different guns used. You can go ahead do a count on 24 if you want and see where it's at. Also don't just add the number of guns per season together. A Beretta 92FS counts once not eight times. If we did that 24 would be at 234 and Miami Vice would be at 195 currently with a season and a half to go. I think Vice was at 100+ different guns before the page was split into seasons. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 01:39, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Any specific reason why you reverted the close-up of Sykes with the 91? And the one of the MP5? Your over-brightened (and sorta yellow-ish) shots aren't exactly better. --[[User:Milkovich|Milkovich]] 12:19, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 
: I personally cant see the point of using your 91 pic over the new one. It´s more detailed and you get to see the stock fully. Though in retrospective reverting the MP5 picture was a good idea indeed. And the whole .png to .jpg thing isn´t necessary for me. I own Photoshop, so I can regulate the quality of my .jpg´s fully (which is also the reason why all my uploads until yesterday were so big, I only started to use lower compression then)..--[[User:Milkovich|Milkovich]] 05:49, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
 
VLC never made it darker for me. Are you sure that you have the video effects off? It might also simply be your screen.

Well, I'm a good bit late here, but I want to congratulate you personally on putting on the upgraded caps for RoboCop, especially the newest Blu-Ray caps. It's my all time favorite film and it looks bitchin' in Blu-Ray from the pics I've seen (on here and elsewhere). Anyway, it looks great - Excellent job on it, as well as the others you've done, man. Glad to have every gun on there now. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 00:07, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
 
:: - Rather than make a new section, I'll just post here. I've seen RoboCop again recently and since you have gotten images for it before, I'd like to ask if you could help add a bit more to the page. I've been having problems getting screencaps off DVDs lately, hence why I'm asking you, plus you have Blu-Ray. Anyway, it turns out that not every single gun is on the page; one of the 'new' images I'd like to try and grab is the where Lewis and Murphy pull up to the Steel Mill following the van chase - there's a rack in the car with a Colt Commando/CAR-15-style rifle on it. It's not really a good shot of the gun but should be included (I'll be adding the section in a minute). Another one is right after that in the mill, when Murphy confronts Emil and the other crook. Right before he says his 'Dead or Alive..' line, he shoots the other crook who grabs his 870 shotgun. I'd like to get a couple shots of him when he gets shot by Murphy, as there's a blooper where the gun changes from a standard 870 Police Folder (which he picks up) to one with an extended mag tube when he gets shot. Again a minor thing but I would like to make a note of it. Anyway, that's pretty much it, I can understand if you're busy and all so take your time and let me if you're able to do them or whatever, I'd appreciate it and I think the page would benefit that much more. Thanks for your time. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 20:37, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
 
:::- Actually, on second thought, the gun on the rack might be a shotgun. Well, anyway, I guess that's it. A Blu-Ray cap might help the ID out, but maybe not - again, it's not shown that well. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 03:42, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Well, I sorta knew this was comin'. The source where I got those screencaps for the movie is this: http://www.discshop.fi/shop/ds_produkt.php?lang=&id=75676&lang=fi&subsite=bluray&&ref=  <-- That is a website in finland, which concentrates on films, games, music, etc. I ordered the BLU-Ray about 1½ weeks ago, and it was released on October 29th in Finland. I assure you, it is '''NOT''' a bootleg of any kind. But I see your point, and if removing those caps (for now) is for the greater good, I have no objection. We wouldn't wanna face legal consequences. But hey, can you at least save the screencaps? I mean just delete them from the A-Team page, not the whole site? 'Cos I spend almost '''4 hours''' taking and uploading those screencaps. That way, I could put them on the site on the 11th (or was it 14th) day, when the DVD is supposed to come out.
 
PS. I was also bewildered when I noticed that a film had come out in Finland looooong before it comes out in the US.

Oh, and do I have to replace my previous screencaps with new ones (since they were uploaded before the official release date), or can I just revert the page to the latest version by me? --[[User:Warejaws|Warejaws]] 12:17, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

==The Way of War==
Great work! but actually, IMFDB rules states that IMDB is the final say on U.S. release titles :)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1133995/combined
So it is "The Way of War" not "Way of War".  I can't figure out why the Poster says that.  Only the Australian and French Video releases changed the named to "Way of War", but I would still conform to the U.S. Release standard. :)  Just giving you a heads up :)  [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 01:50, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
::You're right.  WTF?  Amazon has it listed differently than IMDB.  WTF?  I don't know then.  We always go with the American distribution title and usually IMDB is our bible on that.  This is the first time I've seen this happen.

Good screenshots you have on the Inception page. They look much more sharper and refined than SOLID's possible pirated images.

== RE. Screencapping ==
 
Well, as ''you'' once suggested, I'm using VLC player to screencap. I don't do much with them, I just cap them as jpgs and upload them. BTW, I've been meaning to ask, how do you/what do you do to tweak/edit your caps? Or do you do anything to them at all? 'Cause my caps are sometimes darker than average, and I don't know what to use to solve the problem... (Tried GIMP but waaaaay too many gadgets for me...) --[[User:Warejaws|Warejaws]] 07:36, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

==Spitting up TV pages==
Even Vice which has a large amount of different guns used, has quite a bit of overlap of the same ones used each seasons. I would say about 30 to 40%. Also I did a quick look at the weapons list on [[The Unit]] it has around 120 guns plus another 10 miscellaneous weapons. [[Mail Call]] has 98 including repeats (it probably only has 60 to 70 actual different guns). So The Unit should actually be listed at number 2. (It was at #1 for while before Mail Call which wasn't done by a true count anyway.) I'm going to look into doing an actual count for Mail Call, 24, Vice and compare them to the other large TV pages that aren't split. --[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 20:46, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Screencaptures and watermarks ==
 
This is weird legal/etiquette territory.  Since no one (outside of the movie studios) who posts screen captures from DVDs on the internet owns the content in any way, is the rule about watermarked images merely about the "work" of capturing a screen-shot?  It's my understanding that review sites are "allowed" by the studios to post captures because reviews help the studios with sales, not because review sites have a legal right to do so.  -- Blokhed 2/14/11

==S&W Revolving Rifle==
Hi Ben, I couldn't answer you before as for some reason all the 'edit' functions vanished off my screen. 
 
I'm afraid I don't have the knowledge or tools to do screencaps to do films at this time.  I thought a small page on the weapon would be good as a)someone may wish to do 'Son of Paleface' or other films with that ususual weapon in and b)Once people see and can identify the weapon they may do pages on other films they've seen it in. 
 
I've learned a tremendous amount from this site as I really can't identify most weapons, fashions, songs, automobiles, hairstyles after 1975. (i.e. I can watch a film and if it's well done identify what part of which decade the film is meant to depict; from 1975 on it's all one big blur).  As I'm still learning about your site it I've noticed you can not have 100% of things, for example the Single Action Army Revolver or Winchester 1873 or 1894 (I haven't yet learned to diffrentiate between the two) would have literally hundreds if not thousands of films with the those weapons.  I thought some unusual weapon that to my knowledge is fairly rare in film would fit in and perhaps encourage the others to do pieces of the film or actor (I guess Roy Rogers would have a page with the same three weapons I mentioned) for the edification of your fan base.

Sure some are lame, but most are what people would type into the search function.  The nomenclature of putting "The" first is standard when typing in a title name for a search.  IMFDB puts the "the" last for alphabetizing reasons, but the redirects are there so that when people put in 'likely' search parameters, they'll still end up at the right page.  [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 03:35, 7 April 2011 (CDT)

== Just to explain what's going on here, since I haven't been approved on the forums yet: ==
 
Burt has apparently decided that he should remove all uses of the term "RPG" to refer to anything but the RPG-X series of weapons made by Russia, since apparently the term is "incorrect" if it's used to mean anything but it's original Russian meaning; this includes removing references to projectiles as RPGs, something the US military (and English-speaking militaries in general) would disagree with him on. Obviously, he's wrong; I've quoted a BAE Systems press release ("[http://defensetech.org/2007/07/18/the-mrap-cage-fight/ The LROD system provides lightweight, low-cost RPG protection that is easily adapted to virtually any armored vehicle]") and the [http://books.google.com/books?id=ygqNt3ra-vYC&pg=PA403&dq=#v=onepage&q&f=false Historical Dictionary of the US Army] both using RPG to mean a general class of weapons, but he's apparently decided that everyone, including professionals who manufacture and operate weaponry, is wrong and he's right on what the proper term is. Saying "Type 69 RPG" is about as incorrect as saying "M4 carbine" in a caption; it might not be needed, but that's no reason to delete it for being ''wrong''. Then again, given the pages this guy hangs around and the general attitude it looks like he's good old PersonOfInterest. Isn't he banned? [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 04:57, 14 April 2011 (CDT)
 
::I've already explained how saying "Type 69 RPG" is not the same as saying "M4 carbine". If Evil Tim just wants to disregard any and all points I make, then I'll just have to go over his head.

::Thanks Ben41! :)  Wow. I don't even REMEMBER that forum thread!  I was at Fremont when they filmed the Cyberdyne sequences of T2.  I know that Arnold fired 30,000 of 7.62 rounds all by himself with that Minigun.  :)  But in that very thread you linked to, didn't Steve K. point out that We Were Soldiers fired at least Half a million rounds that he knows of?  That would Knock Starship Troopers off the top.  It's funny.  I was there for a week during some of the location shooting (well that's where nearly all of the firing took place) and I recall that most of the actors had dummy guns.  I think I only counted about 12 guys who were rocking and rolling at any one time but that was just a mental note I made during the damned heat wave!  I still have some stuff from the film including the Morita but it's all messed up.  I still haven't fixed it up enough to photograph it for IMFDB :(  Also back to Steve's comment, the only reason why that 'stat' mentioned by others sounded strange was that I was sure that there are quite a few full blown WAR movies that would easily come close to that number.  :)  Thanks again for the reply :)  As for background stories on movie sets, I sure wish I could write out some of the stuff I see! hahahahaha, but then I don't want to get into trouble! :)  Remember, on the internet, it's forever! :D  best regards [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 18:04, 29 May 2011 (CDT)

:Oh, I just figured since he was credited as director or producer for all of the games listed that was enough to put him in category: director. Could we have a category: game director or something for people like this? I can think of Hideki Kamiya as another example of a guy who has multiple director credits for games we have articles for (three ''Resident Evil'' games and ''Devil May Cry'').

::Really? I'd just see it as a way to tie together a group of creators.

Okay, will do. Good job. Unfortunately I lost the DVD, never found it, and was never able to finish it.

Thanks for adding the extras screen on Robo 3 (Which I know is like, two), heh. Also good job on categorizing too.

I'd screencap it myself, but unlike before when I was having troubles with my DVD drive and players... I just don't have that DVD.

==Helmet covers==
There is a big freakin difference between describing a helmet cover as "BACKWARDS" and "INSIDE OUT". hahahaha LOL.  For one, you can't mount the covers backwards (though you 'could' on the old Kevlar "fritz" helmets, I've done it plenty of times, especially on a stretched out helmet cover that is broken in).  But I don't buy the seam arguement.  I've seen MICH helmet covers with raised seams and flat seams.  Also the Desert Marpat pattern fades in the sun, but more importantly in the context of the movie, DUST coats the helmet cover making it seem solid versus patterned.  I've seen this tons of times.  Right now I still don't see the compelling evidence to justify the 'quote' :D  Happy 4th, [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 01:11, 5 July 2011 (CDT)

== Multiple people with the same name ==
 
Since you seem to be the man regarding actor pages, I figure this is best pitched to you: what do we do when we have multiple actors with the same name? I ask because I've found the "Korean officer" in ''[[Stealth]]'' is a named character ("Colonel Yune") played by a guy called Jason Lee, but it's not [[Jason Lee|this guy]]. So what do we call this new guy's page? [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 16:20, 11 July 2011 (CDT)
 
:Probably the right idea, but I don't think (IX) is the best way: IMDB's list includes everyone who's ever been called Jason Lee in a movie credit; writers, producers, etc. We'd probably be best off calling ours Jason Lee (II) since we're only listing the ones we know have handled firearms.

So you've decided it's time to add to the number of westerns that are represented here on imfdb I'm assuming. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 23:34, 11 July 2011 (CDT)
 
It's really not a big deal to me. If you want to re-do Rooster Cogburn go for it. If not I'll get to it. Right now I've gotten sidetracked with ''[[21 Jump Street]]''. My wife ''loved'' that show when it was airing back in the eighties and she has gone and purchased the series on DVD. That page needs some work. I started on it yesterday. I also plan to do ''Coming Home''. That one will be simple. Just the M16A1 and an SKS are featured in the movie. One of the problems I'm not encountering is that the last of the video rental stores in my town has closed. I don't stream video right now (though we plan on getting it when our Direct TV contract runs out in December)so I'm reduced to Redbox and buying the DVD's of movies that I like. ''[[Bite The Bullet]]'' was the last of the westerns that I wanted to add to my collection. Well that's not true. I do plan on getting a copy of Eastwood's ''[[Hang 'Em High]]''. Well wait I just remembered another one.

== Language ==
 
Last I checked we don't censor quotes containing swearwords (there's quite a few pages with them) and I seem to recall some discussion about that a while back that concluded we shouldn't. Has that changed recently? [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 11:24, 14 July 2011 (CDT)
 
: Well, I personally would be against censoring quotes, and I do think the site leans towards that view. However, I'm sure Ben probably just removed it to keep you and the other guy from editing it over and over and filling up the logs, not because it has a dirty word. The quote isn't absolutely necessary anyway. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 12:00, 14 July 2011 (CDT)
 
:We do allow it in discussions, remember Oliveira and his tendency to swear at least four times per paragraph? [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 02:38, 15 July 2011 (CDT)
 
::I just rather object to the idea that a random newbie can sail in, throw asterisks into a quote on a page and get it deleted; after all, nobody has ever said "fstarck" in a movie. It's not strictly necessary to have movie quotes in captions, I'd agree (though such is true of any quote, cursing or no), but if they're already on a page I don't think we should accept people making the quotes ''wrong'' by sticking random symbols in them. I don't disagree with all forms of censorship (in fact, I think we should put a rule in saying we don't allow NC-17 or equivalent rated movies on the basis someone will try it sooner or later) but it makes the wiki look childish to have people quoted saying "f*ck." [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 06:32, 15 July 2011 (CDT)
 
::: The guy has done it again. Frankly, by my view, the rule is about restricting language on article descriptions and personal comments, not movie quotes, and it states to keep cursing to a minimum, not to eliminate it or censor it entirely. And quite frankly, the way that's he doing it, arbitrarily and on random pages, is very disconcerting and I would say almost vandal-like, as if he's trying intentionally to be annoying (which in my case, is working). I've left him a message that he should stop and consult an admin before doing any more of those edits, but I wanted to let you know personally. I might speak to some other admins about this also. I'd really like to get this settled because I'm starting to see it as a bit of a problem. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] 14:14, 17 July 2011 (CDT)
 
== I did. ==
 
I put it on the talk page of the user who made the edit: "Lupara" is a term for a configuration of shotgun (ie, sawed-off) not a type, so changing "unknown shotgun" to "lupara shotgun" is a bit like changing "unknown rifle" to "carbine rifle;" we still don't know. More to the point, the shotguns in the movie ''aren't'' sawed off, they've still got long barrels and full stocks. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 02:55, 18 July 2011 (CDT)

Hey there buddy. Help me out man. At this particular point in time I am unable to get a copy of the old [[Walter Matthau]] movie ''[[The Laughing Policeman]]'' (1973). Could you screen-cap that page? I don't believe there are more than four or five firearms that make an appearance in the movie. Most notably a [[Smith & Wesson Model 15#Smith & Wesson Model 15 Snub|Smith & Wesson Model 15 Snub]] , [[M16A1]] and an [[M3 / M3A1 "Grease Gun"]]. You know how I am about the old movies.

One thing you might want to note when deleting spam pages; I ''think'' spam-sites can still get links counted from our recent changes page, so it might be a good idea to blank the links out from the "reason for deletion" otherwise it could still be helping them out (and thus encouraging them to keep doing it).

== Heaven's Burning ==
 
Hi Ben,
 
Just so you know, I have finished the page for 'Heaven's Burning'. I added some guns that you had not included (e.g. the High Standard K-1200 riot gun) and included more detailed text with the screenshots.  In addition, I revised 3 guns, see below.
 
(1) Smith&Wesson 27 ==> Smith Wesson 28 (because the movie gun has the matt finish)
(2) Federal Ordnance PSP07 ==> Springfield Armory Omega (just check the slide, you will see why)
(3) Winchester 1300 Defender ==> Remington 870 Police Magnum (check shotgun discussion page and e.g. the rim between stock and casing)
 
In any way, thanks for getting this page on the road a few months ago. If you want to discuss this page, please leave a message on my talk page.
 
Cheers,

Thanks for your comments, I revised [[Heaven's Burning]] for the two points you mentioned. I checked on www.imdb.com and most scenes were shot in South Australia so STAR (instead of SWAT) would indeed be more appropriate.
 
Also, I added screenshots that have actor's faces on them, except for Tony (Patrick Duggin). He only appears 'unmasked' for just a few seconds but he's not carrying a gun in that scene. For this reason, I kept his 'masked' screenshot in the movie entry, but in the actor page did I put the 'unmasked' screenshot.

==Thanks for ''The Glades'' Screenshots==
 
I wanted to thank you for providing the screenshots for ''[[Glades, The|The Glades]]''. I had been meaning to do that for a while but never got around to it. I'm a bit disappointed to see Longworth switched his S&W 4506 for a different sidearm in the new season, but oh well. I believe one of the recent episodes that aired earlier this month was quite gun-heavy, even had what appeared to be a firefight in a junkyard with one of the episode's villains firing on Longworth with what looked like either an H&K G3A3 or an HK91. Again, thank you very much for the help, I greatly appreciate it. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 20:21, 25 August 2011 (CDT)

==Do me a favor==
I need your help in an experiment.  Go to the Heckler & Koch MP5 page.  Scroll down.  Go to the first MP5 Pic you see.  It should be an MP5A2 (slim handguard, full stock) which was a pic of my MP5.  Click on the picture itself to go to the image page.  Does the image suddenly get brighter and the IMFDB logo suddenly appears in the lower right hand corner?  Now click on the image again to blow it up to full size.  What do you see?  Do you see an image of a completely different MP5?  I am asking several people to do this to check what their experiences are.

Regardless of whether I refresh or empty the cache and reload or not .... it always comes up the same.
 
The first image I see is this.  Darker thumbnail of MP5A2 with NO imfdb logo.
 
[[File:TestPicture 2.jpg|thumb|none|800px]]
 
Then when I click on the picture, I see a lighter version of the same pic WITH the IMFDB logo
 
[[File:TestPicture 4.jpg|thumb|none|800px]]
 
And when I want to blow up the MP5 picture to maximum size (1200 px) I get a thumbnail of a completely different MP5.
 
[[File:TestPicture 5.jpg|thumb|none|800px]]
 
So you're seeing something completely different on your end?  Now that is weird.

I noticed. But my screencaps are of bigger resolution, and usually when I revamp/redo something (i.e. a film page), I replace all screencaps to make the page look consistent. --[[User:Warejaws|Warejaws]] 18:39, 29 August 2011 (CDT)
 
ps. I'm in the process of reuploading the rest of the screencaps in the next coupla days.
 
 
I almost put a heads up on the talk page, but then I thought to myself what harm would it do? I went ahead and replaced some of the caps, as one would think is for the benefit of the page and for IMFDB in general (as it is a major, classic film). Know that I had no intention whatsoever to "vandalize" (in lack of a better term) or to go over admins' heads in the matter. It just never occured to me that way. (Once again, sorry if I sound straight-forward, I'm not trying to insult you or anything.)
 
What do you think I should do with the caps? Should I bring this up on the talk page? As for me, I'm ready and willing to complete the revamp, no sweat. I have already converted my caps to .jpegs (per standard), and made those caps in which are two shots put together (sorry, have no idea what thay are called in English), like the one below:

== B-3 versus B-2.  ==
 
I checked the history of the Broken Arrow page and I didn't change "B-3" to "B-2", the user above me on the page revisions list did.
 
Yep, it was me (--[[User:PeeWee055|PeeWee055]] 02:46, 1 September 2011 (CDT)) who changed that. I saw the movier ages ago but I don't remember that anymore. When I happened to see the page a few days ago, I thought it was a typo (B3 where it should have been B2) so I revised, being dedicated to correct contents.
 
In any way, it might hasve been more appropriate to indicate that B3 is mentioned in the movie as some sort of fictional aircraft (at that time), before somebody else changes it again... --[[User:PeeWee055|PeeWee055]] 02:46, 1 September 2011 (CDT)

Hi, Ben! About 32 hours ago I have uploaded Blu-Ray versions of the caps on the [[Doom]] page, but they did not update. I saw that your new images for National Treasure 2 changed almost instantly. I can't figure out why the Doom caps would not update. Any solution to this? (When you click on an image it shows the old version stretched to the size of the new one. I bet it has something to do with CloudFlare...)- [[User:Bozitojugg3rn4ut|bozitojugg3rn4ut]] 09:28, 10 September 2011 (CDT)
:I know it's a little bit late now but I have figured out that changing the size of the picture will update the thumbnail only.

==A Soldier's Story==
Damn I added the 1911 to Denzel's page after watching it yesterday and you capped the movie. Did you cap it off Netflix? At the beginning there's a close up of the 1911 used, it looked to be WWI M1911 instead of a WWII M1911A1, not sure if that's what Denzel actually used though. If you could get some caps of it that would be good. Thanks.--[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 11:50, 20 September 2011 (CDT)

I am planning to work on Black Hawk Down by this Saturday and would probably replace your saturated images as I believe it is better that the images retain the movie's slight desaturated look. What do you suggest I do? Replace your saturated images with ones from my iTunes copy (which is in a 1280 x ??? configuration) with the sharpness added or upload screenshots in your configuration, which is slightly added saturation, sharpness, and brightness? - [[User:Kenny99|Kenny99]] 23:03, 9 October 2011 (CDT)

As you can see, both are similar. Also, how did you reduced the size of your Blu-Ray pictures?

Hey Ben, so I was wondering, do you guys use DVD's / blu rays to get your screen caps? Because whenever I try to get ones from online streaming (like Hulu) the quality sucks... That's why I lean towards promo images because the photographer uses a flash that lights up the gun nicely whereas bad quality screenshot + low light filming = failure... --[[User:Sergei Titov|Sergei Titov]] 23:08, 21 October 2011 (CDT)

== Jesse Stone ==
Thanks. I was surprised that the page hadn't been made. I own all the movies so it's not an issue. I've been a fan of Tom Selleck since [[Magnum P.I.]] came on the air in 1980. I was twelve! Yes I can do that. It might take me a few days, but I will get to it. Or maybe I'll do it tonite. I never know. As far as his time. All I can think of is ''BLue Bloods''  is filmed in New York City and the Stone movies are filmed up in Nova Scotia or New Brunswick (can't remember). It's not ''that'' far and his character in BB is only in about 25% - 30% of most episodes. I imagine when he needs some time they can have an episode that has him in front of the camera even less than usual. I'm sure they'll work with him. That show is still on because Selleck is popular with middle-aged viewers like me. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 19:35, 3 November 2011 (CDT)
:One of Selleck's stipulations when he signed on to Blue Bloods was that the filming of that show would not interrupt the filming of the Jesse Stone films because of how much Selleck loves playing the character. When you see him talk about it in interviews it looks like Jesse is his most favourite character he's ever played. --[[User:Cool-breeze|cool-breeze]] 18:52, 13 November 2011 (CST)

:Well, second is the same, just with a barrel extension, I just picked what I thought were the two best images that weren't that pistol we're still trying to ID. I figure we could use a few videogames in the rotation (if only because then we can point people to them and say "this is a correctly formatted article" more easily); we used to have ''Call of Duty: World at War'' in there until I guess someone actually looked at it and realised it had links-in-headings formatting and was only half-written.

:::By the way, I had a word with Bunni; turns out that it generally ''is'' trouble capping from Bluray discs because most new players removed their screenshot feature and deliver video to the player in such a way that, as with me, you end up with a black screen.

== Top Shot ==
 
While I see where you are coming from and agree that they are not technically guns, I really feel that they belong on the main page. They play a pivotal role in the show and are the focus of attention when in use. It also is for "completeness" sake. I don't want to only list 20 out of 24 weapons. In a movie, when you see a kid playing with a paintball gun for 10 seconds, I agree that THAT would not belong on the main page. Also, I feel that anyone unfamiliar with the sight who finds them selves here looking at the weapons will not know to check the discussion page (personally i never looked at a discussion page until I joined the site after using it for months to look things up). Finally, I found at least three other cases where non guns are listed on the main page. In Rambo (2008) for example, the machete and bow are included on the main page. Same with the Custom Torque Bow in Predator. And in The Punisher the compound bow is included.
 
To clarify (cause I know that tone is IMPOSSIBLE to convey in these post) please know that I am not trying to get in a fight with you, I simply see it a different way.

In the movie [[Se7en]], the film makers went to great lengths to keep the killer's identity secret. I've mentioned on the Discussion page that we should keep Kevin Spacey's (the killer's) name and picture from the page. Should I take his name down, or let it be. I haven't been on this website that long, so that's why I need advice.

: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'd have to disagree with the ruling you made there. Standards have to trump the spoiler policy, and we do have to say the actor is Kevin Spacey. Otherwise we fail to credit the actor, and the spoiler policy specifically points out we're trying to "prove certain guns were used by certain actors." By necessity, Kevin's own page already contains this spoiler anyway, and turning that into a one-way link doesn't really make much sense. I think all that's really needed is to move the spoiler warning somewhere more prominent (top of the page, say) and accept that because of the way our pages are formatted and the site's purpose in identifying the actors who used the weapons as well as the weapons themselves, we can't ''not'' say who the actor playing John Doe is. As for the name (Yodawg changed "John Doe" to "the killer" throughout), the whole point of the killer being "John Doe" is that it ''isn't'' a real name, so it can hardly be considered a spoiler to say that's the killer's alias.

==Tables==
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?
I haven't been seeking out any particular pages to convert, just converting any pages I come across, and then just going down on the line. You might have probably noticed waves of pages starting with the same letter as a result. I haven't been doing anything other than converting the information to tables, unless something is glaring. I've been using the [[Smith & Wesson Model 29]] page as a template, as it has all four groups (Film, Television, Video Games, Anime) and isn't as big as either the Glock or M1911 pages. (The Glock page still has a small section that isn't in a wikitable.) 


As for info, it's a bit frustrating because sometimes all that's listed is a title, with no actors. I did part of the SKS page today, and a user just said "Kate from ''Lost''", not even listing the actress' name, even though she's one of the leads. I usually have to cross reference the show page and IMDb to get episode info and dates. Compared to that, listing special features in the notes seems like a piece of cake.

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.

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 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)

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)
