:Thank you for the reply, and sorry I misjudged you (to be honest, I didn't notice the discussion, so I did think you were some foolish n00b who was changing things without consulting admins). I thought that I was simply upholding a decision that the rest of the staff had agreed to a long time ago. At the very least, I guess we should discuss the matter again in the topic - and clearly, the forum's not such a good place, since we have too many problems with spammers. And Happy Holidays to you, too. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] 10:01, 24 December 2011 (CST)

::Looks good. I'm a mod here. I really like the Colt page. The S&W page is going to be an intensive piece of labor for you. I agree with bunni. We need a category for these new pages. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 16:30, 27 December 2011 (CST)
<nowiki>{{ActorF}}</nowiki> = <nowiki>[[Category:Actor]] and [[Category:Actor Female]]</nowiki>


I've been collecting S&W revolvers for several years. S&W has always been a very organized company with outstanding records. Better organized company in so many aspects. In the past couple of years I've gotten into Colt revolvers and I've learned that getting information about the various Colt handguns is very challenging. For most of it's history Colt was rather scatter-shot in it's approach. For example they would have different models use the same serial number range (Official Police and .38 spl Officer Model Target pre-WWII), but the Pre-WWII Officer Model Target .22LR had it's own serial numbers.Why? Who knows? Other models (such as the Theur derringer) would be made for decades and Colt has little to no written records about the models. For example the serial numbers will not tell you what year an individual derringer was made. And then you have the Official Police model and it's variants. Over 700,000 made over a seventy year period. Very challenging. I like the colt double action revolvers, but I can see why colt has almost gone out of business and S&W is still prospering. Hopefully Colt's fairly new management can fix things. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 17:37, 27 December 2011 (CST)

== Re: Template ==
I think he was on the right track changing this (but went abut it the wrong way), as the current image we have for the Model 1 is not a Model 1. If you look at the one in the history (which is a Model 1 first issue) you can see that there are quite a few differences. I'll sort it out with some better pictures of the first, second and third issues for reference to clear it up.  --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 10:43, 24 August 2012 (CDT)


Sure, no problem! I much prefer the infobox to sifting through lines of text. I also think that we should do it for each season, as the cast may change throughout the show and it would be nice to show the number episodes in each.

== Deleting screenshots ==


==Min number of guns for categorization==
Is there any way to delete a screenshot without actually have to access the page? A screenshot I've uploaded for the film ''[[The Rundown]]'' now causes the page to not load and I would like to delete that jpg and a few others.  Here are the filenames: 
It has never been formally codified, but I rarely see any page with a total of less than 6 guns total, to be broken up into subcategories. So I would opine that the page must have Seven (7) or more total guns or at least 4 or more in a specific subsection (like pistols).  Thoughts?

You're making assumption based on the pages you've worked on, but there are at least five different ways to do Episodic television.  I know we have to codify this, but that other way looks sloppy. I would actually appreciate if if you could help, and created a table with an extra column for the Episode title and Season/Ep number in addition to a column for the air date for TV. Actually that would be the best solution. If you can help me create a NEW TV table then I will  submit it to the forum for approval.

== Just a minor note ==
== Thank You Sir ==


Don't remove weapons listings for deleted or non-built pages unless you're sure the works they're listed as being in will never qualify for inclusion. Not sure if you're still doing that (I recall you were), but the redlinks do serve a purpose; namely, they build [[Special:WantedPages]], which if we linked to it properly would be a good starting point for people who want to make articles but aren't sure what we don't have.

==Column sizes==

The trouble with that is that I think it's all based on relative screen resolution. I saw that you made the changes, but the change is barely discernible on my screen.

I was under the impression that the 'upcoming' template was to be removed once the media was launched or premiered, and in this case ''Battleship'' has met that criteria and as such is no longer an 'upcoming' film. If you can think of a more appropriate template that's fine, but I don't believe it should be labeled as 'upcoming' now that it's in theaters. [[User:Orca1 9904|Orca1 9904]] 23:34, 22 May 2012 (CDT)

==Re: M80 Rocket Launcher==
==Questioning my change==
(edit) sorry, I was fixing a change I was going to make.  The original maker identified the gun as a '''Stainless''' Model 36.  Since there is no Stainless 36, I changed it to a Model 60 (which would be the correct identifier for that model if made in SS).  You should bring up your challenge to them, not me. :D  As to what I as doing - I recently uploaded a correct S&W model 36 nickel plated 1st gen photo.  The photo I had uploaded previously was mislabeled as a stainless Model 36.  It was actually a photo of a Satin Stainless Model 60.  At the time I took the first old photo, the owner (not me) quipped that it was a Stainless Model 60.  I was not as educated about S&W model nomenclature as I am now, so I loaded the pic as such.  But what he meant (and what I later learned myself) that he was merely describing the "Model 60" as "the stainless Model 36".  Anyway, enough backstory about the pics, but that is why I'm fixing pages which used the Model 60 pic as a 'nickel' Model 36.  And any page that utilizes the Model 60 description, I either put in a correct pic of a Model 60 or did minor grammar or spelling changes.  I left the gun IDs to the creators of the pages.

==Gallery==
The MPM gallery DOES look great.  Thanks.  I do tend to keep the pics in chronological order on my user page because it's my way of remembering 'when' i uploaded 'what' and during what month. LOL.  Weird, but it helps me remember what bulk uploads I did in the past.  Noting the 'timeline' of when I do stuff helps me mentally keep track of what work has been done and what needs to be done.  But the Gallery is a cool tool.  Hope you like the new pic uploads.  Some of the pics might not merit their own page yet, until the model is used in a movie/tv show/game/anime.  But I want to make sure IMFDB has a record of the image when it is needed.  I will probably look more at the Gallery style when I have a bit more time.  Right now I have a time period when I'm grabbing as many gun pics as I can. :D  best regards [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] ([[User talk:MoviePropMaster2008|talk]]) 01:09, 17 March 2013 (EDT)


I don't know if you saw it but if you look in the talk page there is a big discussion about how this rifle is not an SR-25. If nothing else it has a fixed front sight and a handguard with horizontal slots which the SR-25 does not have. It also has a carry handle mounted which you will never see on an SR-25 (as it has not front sight) and it also has horizontal grooves along the bottom of the upper receiver which are absent on the SR-25 but are there on the DPMS TAC20.  --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 04:09, 5 June 2012 (CDT)

Hi there.  I noticed that early on during your tenure at IMFDB you undid a naming protocol that I did for the Smith & Wesson Revolvers.  I am hoping that you understand WHY I did this and why removing it screws up the order upon which the guns appear in the listing.  At the bottom of the page (take Smith & Wesson Model 1 for example) I put in the name "Smith & Wesson Model 001" for a specific reason.  Utilizing the three digit naming nomenclature (at the bottom of the page) allows the models to be correctly listed by name in the proper order when looking at the list of gun pages.  That way, the Model 1 does NOT come after the Model 10.  I've pointed this out to other members at the (before you were on IMFDB) so you may not have caught that reason.  Hope this helps.  Just wanted to explain what the reason was for putting this at the bottom of the page and why I ask others not to remove it.  Thanks. :D  [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] ([[User talk:MoviePropMaster2008|talk]]) 02:09, 8 April 2013 (EDT)

I am not able to get my hand on an American DVD release of Hell on Wheels (as per the IMFDB regulations) but I do have a paid netflix account from which I was able to pull screenshots for the firearms I wish to add for the page (namely the Winchester Model 1866, the Henry Model 1860 and Elam`s "Arkansas Toothpick").

== A problem with letters with diacritical signs in hyperlinks ==
 
Sorry to disturb you for such a minor problem but I need some technical help. When I'm trying to to create a hyperlink for a name or title that has letters with diacritical signs I encounter the following problem:
 
---
 
Database error
 
A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:
 
(SQL query hidden)
 
from within function "LinkHolderArray::replaceInternal". Database returned error "1271: Illegal mix of collations for operation ' IN ' (192.168.130.4)".
 
---
 
It happens not with all such letters. For example, '''š''' can be used correctly, but using '''ć''' (in the name of Serbian actor) or '''ă''' (in the title of Romanian movie) results in error. It happens only when using such letters in hyperlinks. In common text they can be used without any problem. I have already posted a topic about this problem on IMFDB forum but had no answer.

Hi Zackmann, just a question about the IMFDB upgrade fund-raising project that came up in May. I ordered a few small items and I was just curious when I could expect them. I know there's probably a zillion things on your mind, but I would appreciate if you could give me a small update. By the way, I honestly feel it is a pity that not enough funds could be raised.

Shortcut templates

If you're thinking about creating a page for editing shortcuts, here's some templates I've created that should help --Ben41 02:32, 25 July 2012 (CDT):

{{ActorF}} = [[Category:Actor]] and [[Category:Actor Female]]

{{ActorM}} = [[Category:Actor]] and [[Category:Actor Male]]

{{Film War}} = [[Category:Movie]] and [[Category:War]]

{{Film Comedy}} = [[Category:Movie]] and [[Category:Comedy]]

{{Film Crime Drama}} = [[Category:Movie]], [[Category:Crime]] and [[Category:Drama]]

{{SS}} = [[Category:Screenshot]]

{{PCA}} = [[Category:Poster and Cover Art]] sorry zackman, i know this isn't the right place to talk to you, but I cannot find the right place, so here goes... I have made an edit and would like to upload a photograph to support it, but I cannot find any instructions on how to do it. how do I upload photographs to a page?

Ha!

Once again, great minds think alike. --Funkychinaman 10:35, 24 August 2012 (CDT)

S&W Model 1

I think he was on the right track changing this (but went abut it the wrong way), as the current image we have for the Model 1 is not a Model 1. If you look at the one in the history (which is a Model 1 first issue) you can see that there are quite a few differences. I'll sort it out with some better pictures of the first, second and third issues for reference to clear it up. --commando552 10:43, 24 August 2012 (CDT)

Apology accepted. I saw the mistake and just fixed it asap with the best S&W Model 1 pic I could find. You were right, I should have brought it up with one of the admins instead of just fixing it. --charterarmsoffduty 10:33, 25 August 2012 (CDT)

Deleting screenshots

Is there any way to delete a screenshot without actually have to access the page? A screenshot I've uploaded for the film The Rundown now causes the page to not load and I would like to delete that jpg and a few others. Here are the filenames: File:Rund.jpg File:Rundown.jpg File:Therundown.jpg

If you try to click on this files, you will be taken to a blank page with the following warning:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 11908 bytes) in /home/imfdb/public_html/w/includes/media/Bitmap.php on line 213


If there's anything you can do, please help. Thanks --Ben41 23:01, 3 September 2012 (CDT)

Questioning my change

(edit) sorry, I was fixing a change I was going to make. The original maker identified the gun as a Stainless Model 36. Since there is no Stainless 36, I changed it to a Model 60 (which would be the correct identifier for that model if made in SS). You should bring up your challenge to them, not me. :D As to what I as doing - I recently uploaded a correct S&W model 36 nickel plated 1st gen photo. The photo I had uploaded previously was mislabeled as a stainless Model 36. It was actually a photo of a Satin Stainless Model 60. At the time I took the first old photo, the owner (not me) quipped that it was a Stainless Model 60. I was not as educated about S&W model nomenclature as I am now, so I loaded the pic as such. But what he meant (and what I later learned myself) that he was merely describing the "Model 60" as "the stainless Model 36". Anyway, enough backstory about the pics, but that is why I'm fixing pages which used the Model 60 pic as a 'nickel' Model 36. And any page that utilizes the Model 60 description, I either put in a correct pic of a Model 60 or did minor grammar or spelling changes. I left the gun IDs to the creators of the pages.

Gallery

The MPM gallery DOES look great. Thanks. I do tend to keep the pics in chronological order on my user page because it's my way of remembering 'when' i uploaded 'what' and during what month. LOL. Weird, but it helps me remember what bulk uploads I did in the past. Noting the 'timeline' of when I do stuff helps me mentally keep track of what work has been done and what needs to be done. But the Gallery is a cool tool. Hope you like the new pic uploads. Some of the pics might not merit their own page yet, until the model is used in a movie/tv show/game/anime. But I want to make sure IMFDB has a record of the image when it is needed. I will probably look more at the Gallery style when I have a bit more time. Right now I have a time period when I'm grabbing as many gun pics as I can. :D best regards MoviePropMaster2008 (talk) 01:09, 17 March 2013 (EDT)

Hi there. I noticed that early on during your tenure at IMFDB you undid a naming protocol that I did for the Smith & Wesson Revolvers. I am hoping that you understand WHY I did this and why removing it screws up the order upon which the guns appear in the listing.

Utilizing the three digit naming nomenclature (at the bottom of the page) allows the models to be correctly listed by name in the proper order when looking at the list of gun pages. That way, the Model 1 does NOT come after the Model 10. I've pointed this out to other members at the (before you were on IMFDB) so you may not have caught that reason. Hope this helps.

I know there's probably a zillion things on your mind, but I would appreciate if you could give me a small update. By the way, I honestly feel it is a pity that not enough funds could be raised. Keep up the good work and thanks in advance, PeeWee055 (talk) 04:39, 22 August 2013 (EDT)

Hi Zackmann08, thanks for the response. I'll just wait a few more weeks, don't worry. I live in Holland and ordered a patch and a sticker (sorry, I am temporarily on a very tight budget...) so I guess that should be send pretty easily. Take care, PeeWee055 (talk) 08:39, 26 August 2013 (EDT)
Hi Zackmann08, just checking to see if you have received an e-mail from me that I send through support@imfdb.org on 24th October. You were saying that all goods from the fundraiser would be shipped by September 1st but so far I have not received anything. That e-mail contains my payment details which should be helpful to determine what's been happening. Thanks a lot for letting me know, PeeWee055 (talk) 09:04, 6 November 2013 (EST)
Hi Zackmann, thanks for the quick response. I just resend my last month's e-mail to support@imfdb.org. Thanks for checking, PeeWee055 (talk) 15:10, 6 November 2013 (EST)
Hi Zackmann08, hello from Holland! Any news on my above resend e-mail of 6th November? I was hoping to hear from you about some stuff that I ordered and paid to support IMFDB on 5th May (...). Dispatch would be September latest but I still have not received anything, be it my order or a dispatch schedule. Maybe I better resend the above e-mail to a different mail address or contact Rockethub myself? Please let me know if I should wait to receive anything or maybe consider my payment to be a general 'gift' to IMFDB? Looking forward to hear from you and thanks in advance for checking, PeeWee055 (talk) 10:47, 25 November 2013 (EST)

Thank you!

Server issues

Any ideas regarding all the editing downtime we've been having recently? We've had 12+ hour blackouts where nobody could edit, login or upload images and we're kind of wondering what's going on. Seems uploads just went down again, too. Evil Tim (talk) 15:26, 9 November 2013 (EST)

Hey

Good to see you back, it's been a while. --Funkychinaman (talk) 23:44, 2 October 2014 (EDT)
