Is this how I communicate? Thanks for correcting my mistakes on the Under the Dome page, I'm really impressed with your ability to identify firearms! Can you explain how you were able to tell the difference between a P220 or P226 based on that screenshot, and the Beretta? Also, is it OK if I create pages with inaccuracies like that? I figure I can at least help get the pros started... Thanks again. [[User:Forhumans|Forhumans]] ([[User talk:Forhumans|talk]]) 11:30, 15 July 2013 (EDT)
... 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.

Nice job getting the newer screencaps. I wasn't able to get ahold of DVD sets yet so I appreciate going over and getting some more and better ones. You'll probably notice I've been going in behind ya doing some other edits, mainly cleaning up some of the text to keep it uniform throughout the seasons and provide proper descriptions/notations while reducing spoilers. Also been changing a few gun thumbnail sizes, also for uniformity, as well as adding a section here and there, etc. I hope this isn't causing you any problems or anything. If it is, or you have a preference for anything do let me know - to me they're pretty much your pages, I'm just a big fan of the show trying to round off things here and there for the most part.

: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)
: Gotcha on the thumbnail size, I was mainly keeping them in line with the other pages, where the larger pistols were 350px while the smaller ones were 300px but 300 across the board is cool - it doesn't matter that much to me. I can fix them all that way if you want when I get the chance. Longer guns would depend, a lot of SMGs/assault rifles and shorter shoulder arms would work at 400-450 while the longer stuff can be more like 500, but again, it's up to you. As for that title for 5x19, that's kinda screwy that CBS would list it at that when IMDB does it the other way. I'm sure I've seen it without the 'A' somewhere else in a pseudo-official capacity (maybe on the actual DVD release) but otherwise, just sticking with the general rule of thumb about validiating with IMDB, though I didn't know you were going off CBS' own site. Again kinda screwy. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 19:27, 17 July 2013 (EDT)

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.

:: Oh yeah, I know. Still just thought it was messed up, and I can swear I saw it without the 'A' somewhere else. Bah, hate it when I get tripped up by stuff like that.

== Re:Continuing on 1985 MacGyver ==
==Apologies==
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)

== Splitting up the Star Wars pages ==
== MASH ==
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 wanted to name the ''MASH'' movie page with the asterisks, but if you look on [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066026/combined IMDB], it's listed without the asterisks. It had to be a deliberate choice on IMDB's part, since the IMDB page for the TV series DOES have the asterisks. (''After MASH'' doesn't have the asterisks either, so it's a bit confusing.) --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 20:18, 14 August 2013 (EDT)

: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.

Hey, so I am happy that you are working on ''[[Breaking Bad]]'', but for the [[AA-12]] entry on Season 5, there is a really good close-up of the muzzle and side of the gun (the latter shows the words "AA-12" on the side of the stock).

::Not that I recall. He handed it over in the middle of Season 3 (in S3E07) after being suspended for beating up Jesse Pinkman. He may have drawn it during the raid on the RV in S3E06, but I don't recall. Then, of course, he got shot by the Salamanca cousins in S3E07 and paralyzed for the rest of Season 3 and 4, which meant he was physically unable to go on raids that would require carrying a weapon. As far as I know, he didn't get the Glock back until he recovered from his wounds and went back to the DEA as an ASAC in Season 5.
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?
::Also, speaking of the cousins, there are a lot of good shots of those nickel-plated [[1911]]s that they carry through S3E07. You'll want to look for screencaps during the shootout at the end of the episode, especially when one of them has the bore of his 1911 on Hank, but then decides that shooting him would be "muy facil!"

Hello Ben41. As you may know, recently me and several other IMFDB users have been trying to find ways to resolve issues related to IMFDB accounts reported by several off-site IMFDB users (more details [[Talk:Main_Page#Issues_with_IMFDB_Accounts_Reported_by_Multiple_Users|here]]). We have been trying to contact site owner bunni about this issue, but it has been difficult to reach them. Especially since a similar attempt to contact bunni back in 2021, posted directly on their [[User_talk:Bunni#Regarding_a_user|talk page]], did not receive any replies.

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? --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 20:34, 17 July 2022 (EDT)

When fixing the broken titled pages, you should use the "Move" tool found under the "More ˅" menu next to the edit button.

Hi! I would like to ask if we could feature a selection of [[:Category:Philippine_Produced|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!

== Changing the title of "M83 Smoke Grenade" to "M83 smoke grenade" ==
Good job on the ongoing Season 9, BTW. Anyway, as for Season 1 - I don't have a lot of episodes of that season available but as far as I'm aware, the G17 that [[Shemar Moore]] uses in Season 1 never had the familiar weaponlight attachment we see later in the show. I've been doing a little format check-up on some actor pages lately and his has the weaponlight G17 listed as being used in S1. When you get a bit of free time, can you go over the season and confirm this for me? Also there's a revolver shown at the end of S3E04 "Children of the Dark" (The one held by the kid at the end, I can't get a decent enough grab of it to ID, and I have to say it looks kinda funny, I was thinking a Ruger, but nope, bah) - Anyway if you could get that as well, that'd be awesome. Otherwise I think those pages are pretty much tip-top. Whenever you can get around to all of it, no rush. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 16:48, 8 November 2013 (EST)
===Reply on both comments===
: Ah ok. It's cool, Thanks anyway. As for the Robert Downey page, was just going by the others, and it seems its more-or-less de facto standard to do 'em chronologically, so there ya go. What's more, I've been finding several pages with listings that for whatever reason were done reverse-chronologically (admittedly they were weapons pages for the most part, but I think an actor page or two was involved also) that I've changed lately, though I think there are still a few more out there. Still, hey, if you had a good reason to do it that way, fine by me. But I'm gonna put back the correct year on that Tropic Thunder screencap if that's alright.

== Re: Walking Dead Screenshots ==
Many thanks to you, kind sir. I know you like to leave out the first zero, but sometimes when I type it just comes automatically before the episode number. Sorry for that. Oh, I've been meaning to ask you about screencap sharpening. I've seen at least you and funky sharpen you screencaps, which by the way look pretty good on a finished page. I have only just experimented for a few times in FastStone (most recently the walking dead), and I use the sharpening tool (ctrl + u) with USM Sharpen, amount set in 50 and radius set in 0.4. Do you prefer to use faststone or another program entirely? --[[User:Warejaws|Warejaws]] ([[User talk:Warejaws|talk]]) 09:53, 3 December 2013 (EST)

:I already deleted that image once for being unnecessary, and the Mk23 image he uploaded at the same time.

==RoboCop 3==
Hey, glad you're fixing it up. The movie may be piss-poor but the page on doesn't need to be of course, so thanks for that. It was pretty good years ago, but several screenshots got deleted or something and ever since the page had been a bit off. I was able to find a couple of the old screencaps from before and restore them (as placeholders if nothing else), hope that helped. Anyway, again, looking a lot better. That said, I wouldn't mind helping with a bit of writing and formatting if you're cool with it - there are some inconsistencies with the thumbnail sizes and stuff. But I know you're still in the process of going through it so wanted to check before I just jumped in on ya. I might be able to also pinpoint places in the film you can get screencaps of some things, again, if you want.
PS - Also fixed the format of the last couple messages on your talk page here, they've been made with the one equal rather than two so it looked a bit screwy. Hope thats ok. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 13:23, 12 December 2013 (EST)
: Yeah, I keep forgetting about that sometimes-off-looking resolution business. Thats cool. As for the old screenshots, I'm pretty sure I had already restored all the old ones I could find - I found them through the pages history on the prior version(s), some were still around but others had been deleted off. I might make another look and see if there's any I missed, but I think I got 'em all already so anything else will have to be all new screengrabs.

Hey Ben, I've decided to do some screencapping for [[Heroes]], I'm Currently doing some work on Season 2, and I could use a little help. I have couple Unknowns that are a little hard to make out, and help identifying them will be much appreciated, I will be putting them on the Season 2's discussion page in a few minutes, also if you have higher quality screencaps then I do, feel free to overwrite mine, I am still trying to get the hang of the VLC Media Player. I also I want to let you know I will be working on Seasons 3 and 4 in the future.

:Thanks for the advice, Ben. I use a program called IrfanView to convert my screenshots to jpeg, it always worked for since I did pages for this site years back, I will look into Fast Stone though. As for the filenames, you mean like how you do screencaps for The Walking Dead? I see what you mean there, I will take a look at your page when I get the chance.

== Prop weapons an another question. ==
Thanks for informing on prop weapons rule.
Also wanted to ask about one thing - [[Goldfinger]] has featurette included as a sub-section. Is it possible to create such things fro other featurettes, spin-offs which have no more then a one gun (or otherwise impossible to add) etc.? I'm especially interested becuase there's a failed unaired [[Darkman]] TV pilot which I want to cover and a NES [[Mad Max]] game which I really want to add again properly If no, then okay. Perhaps, such things still can be posted on my own discussion page? --[[User:Kloga|Kloga]] ([[User talk:Kloga|talk]]) 16:32, 20 December 2013 (EST)
:Thanks for explaining, again, but I was talking more about new sections or sub-sections about these spin-offs, in case of franchise spawning or other important connections. Seems to be a nice solution to my problem of being sad if franchise incompletion occurs when there are guns, but other rules restrict adding the installment...

21 Jump Street
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. --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 08:22, 6 July 2019 (EDT)

SIMON rifle grenade in Terminator Genisys
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. --Wuzh (talk) 00:15, 9 September 2019 (EDT)
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. There is some support for this as can be seen on the Star Wars talk page. 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 don't have any new screenshots. This split is purely splitting up the images that we have. --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. --Wuzh (talk) 21:16, 1 December 2019 (EST)
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. --Wuzh (talk) 18:49, 11 February 2020 (EST)

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 was wondering if you could perhaps update the screenshots. These were taken from "The Pretend War" (S4E04) starting at about 15:10 minutes in. It is very odd that the weapons being discussed & shown here are M1 Garands, however, they are never seen again after this scene. --RealEveryDay (talk) 12:27, 23 November 2020 (EST)

Contacting bunni
Hello Ben41. As you may know, recently me and several other IMFDB users have been trying to find ways to resolve issues related to IMFDB accounts reported by several off-site IMFDB users (more details here). We have been trying to contact site owner bunni about this issue, but it has been difficult to reach them. Especially since a similar attempt to contact bunni back in 2021, posted directly on their talk page, did not receive any replies.
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)
