According to [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079794/releaseinfo IMDB], the undefined english title is ''The Callup''. I honestly don't know if you could call it ''Repmånad'' even if you wanted to, as I'm not sure the system will recognize it. (It does recognize the "Ø" in Krag-Jørgensen though.) I did a bit of research, and it looks like "å" is often transcribed as "aa," so maybe you can call it ''Repmaanad''? --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 16:09, 11 March 2013 (EDT) | According to [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079794/releaseinfo IMDB], the undefined english title is ''The Callup''.

Well, if you REALLY want to, you can revert that edit back - If it's judged to be an issue later an Admin can take care of it. That said, I only did that because I've seen other users warned to avoid speculation and conjecture in pages, though frankly I think we all do it to an extent. Anyway, again, you can revert, but try to mindful of making speculative remarks on media pages (I really should do that more myself, too). That's all.

== Re: Stunt Actor Category == | |||
Well, I'm not really one to ask about such a thing in terms of any reaching decision (kinda curious as to why you did ask me and not one of the admins) - I know I've been around a while but I'm not in authority or anything (at least not that I know of). | |||
That said, I don't know. While there are quite a few stunt performers who wield firearms (and many are seen across several films), I'm not sure if making a specific subcategory for them would help much. I don't see what it would hurt in itself, though, aside from making extra work for a tangential piece of the site. Ultimately, I'm indifferent, leaning to against. But again, I don't make the rules.

: Oh, well in that case, kind of you to ask, and thanks.

== RE: Red Dawn edit == | |||
Your welcome. Wanted to have the grenade image above the screencap that references it as it's the norm on the site. Doing two images side-by-side with the 'left' orientation on one is a little trick than can be handy but it doesn't always work (sometimes it can even mess some formatting up) - That and the instances it can even be used are rare, hence why it's done so very sparingly. Anyway, glad to be of help where I can. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 18:34, 19 April 2016 (EDT) | |||
== RE: Batman 1989 == | |||
Your text was "He actually cocks it first which is a bit redundant since as a semi-auto gun it cocks automatically after each shot." - Which in itself is wrong; Ignoring this particular instance this statement implies every semiauto 'cocks automatically' which DAO guns automatically refute, thus making it generally inaccurate and misleading. It does apply to 1911s but not all semiautos operate like 1911s. You could elaborate that, but that could get unwieldy in the text I feel. That said, your other part, "The manual cocking was probably added for dramatic effect." ''could'' be left, but is still a bit problematic - while the reasoning you give behind it (and to an extent, part of your first part) is well-made, it's also, strictly speaking, speculation - Something we try to avoid. And again, elaborating on it I think would only make it worse. All-told, when in doubt, better to just omit such things entirely, simpler that way. If you really want, the latter part can be put back, but I'd suggest more to the effect of "He holds his 1911 on Gordon, cocking the hammer as he does so (likely done solely for dramatic effect) - That wording keeps it simple, shows it as both an assumption (which again, strictly, it is) but also describes what happens in that shot factually.

: No prob man, not trying to be harsh there or anything (hope not, anyway). Like I said, often just better - or at least, simpler - to avoid some things.
