Hey, thanks for the correction and identification.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] ([[User talk:Alienqueen11|talk]]) 22:40, 31 December 2013 (EST)
=Discussion=
Hey Ben, I just want to let you [[Heroes - Season 2]] is completed, feel free to look over it and correct anything if need be. Thanks for all the help and advice. I'll be moving on to Seasons 3 & 4 soon.
== Colt XSE links ==
:Hey Ben, I just started on Season 3, and I need help with identification on a revolver I added, it's cataloged as a Smith & Wesson Model 637 Airweight because that's the one that best matched it when I looked, if you can take a look at it and confirm it, I will be grateful.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] ([[User talk:Alienqueen11|talk]]) 23:48, 6 January 2014 (EST)
... 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)
Hey again Ben, thanks for the correction last time. Hate to have to ask for your help again, but I'm having a dilemma with some AK rifles in Episode 11, I can't tell for sure if some of them are AKMs or Type 56s, some of them have hooded sights while most of them seem to have slant muzzle brakes, I put the images on [[Talk:Heroes - Season 3]]. If you can confirm them, I will once again be grateful. Thanks in advance.--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] ([[User talk:Alienqueen11|talk]]) 23:37, 9 January 2014 (EST)

Hey Ben41, I need another identification, I have this rifle I spotted in episode 23, I think it cold be an M14 rifle, but need a little help to make sure, it's at the bottom of [[Talk:Heroes - Season 3]].

== 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.

== Solomon Kane ==
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)

It's not samurai films, but it contain only a few flintlock pistols. May I create this page or not?

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 ==
Hey buddy! Love your screencaps! BTW. As per your question, it's not like I'm slowwitted and haven't thought about it. LOL! :D It takes a bunch of time to go back and REDO all of the many images that don't have it. I will make the time (which I don't have BTW) to do that. I DO, however, put a watermark on all the new pics. or at least the LOGO which they have to intentionally remove before reposting, thus eliminating their excuse that they 'didn't know'. :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] ([[User talk:MoviePropMaster2008|talk]]) 21:02, 12 January 2014 (EST)
==breaking bad==
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)
Why is the '''Talk''' page for Breaking Bad looking like the actual page itself? And the actual page for Breaking bad is less populated? [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] ([[User talk:MoviePropMaster2008|talk]]) 22:33, 12 January 2014 (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)
::you've done it with several entries. BUT, the reason I asked about it is that the "TALK" pages are there on the directory listing of shows along with the actual show pages. That isn't right. The TALK pages should not be listed with the actual pages on the directory. It looks bizarre and makes the entry look incomplete and confusing. I may not be explaining this well, so let me know if you know what I mean. :) [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] ([[User talk:MoviePropMaster2008|talk]]) 02:36, 14 January 2014 (EST)

== Request ==
The reason that I reverted your screenshot of the HK91 back to mine is because your screenshot does not show that the weapon has a non-pushpin lower receiver, the distinguishing feature of the HK91 compared to the G3. Do you mind re-taking it so that it does a better job proving the identity of the weapon? -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] ([[User talk:MT2008|talk]]) 13:32, 20 January 2014 (EST)
Hi Ben, please change my username to Mirko. (bunni declined my request to make a new account) Can you also confirm that this is a Kel Tec P11?
Just curious, why did you change the ID on the Black Hawk Down miniguns from GAU-17/A's? In all the screenshots they appear to have the slotted flash hider of the GAU-17/A (not sure about on the Little Bird as they are spinning, but as they appear to have a transparent band in the middle this would also suggest they have the slots). Also, as the Black Hawks were provided by the Air Force I would assume that they were fitted with the actual GAU-17/A miniguns that are fitted IRL. Note that the stock image for the GAU-17/A is of one fitted to an HH-60 Pave Hawk and it is identical to this, including the accessories such as the sight rail, mounting bracket and stuff like that. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 18:06, 4 February 2014 (EST)
: Hi again I have an issue. E-mails aren't being sent to me by the site. Bunni actually did accept my request and I should have received an account creation password email on the 12th and never got it , and tonight I've sent 'reset your password' to both of my emails and still nothing.--[[User:Slum 5050|Slum 5050]] ([[User talk:Slum 5050|talk]]) 21:31, 16 October 2020 (EDT)
:I thought it was the army that supplied the choppers. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 18:58, 4 February 2014 (EST)
::Been a long time since I saw the making of documentary so you are probably right. However, surely we should still call it a GAU-17/A though as it is that specific variant, rather than the generic M134. If they are Army then I know that a GAU designation may be technically wrong for what they would call them, but I don't think the Army have a designation for this variant so I think it is better to use the GAU one to differentiate the two. Otherwise we would have to call it "the special updated M134 flexible variant that the USAF calls the GAU-17/A but the Army still just call the M134". --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 19:42, 4 February 2014 (EST)
:::The thing is though, it is the exact same gun as the GAU-17/A. It isn't the case that the GAU-17/A is just what the USAF call the M134, it is a different variant with a number of modifications (must notable for ID purposes is the flash hider) to allow it to be more effective in the flexible role. It was developed by the USAF and then the Army starting using it but haven't given it a destination over and above the general "M134" which is horrifically vague and applies to all weapons regardless of manufacturer or configuration. To me it makes much more sense that we should call it the GAU-17/A as this is an identifiable, separate variant and this is the designation it was invented with. Granted this is a slightly grey area as these specific guns in the film have the official designation of an M134 as it is actually a genuine Army helicopter, however if it was mounted on a mecha in an anime we would not debate whether it was an Army or Air force robot, we would just call it a GAU-17/A as that is what it is. Furthermore, if a GAU-17/A is mounted on a pintle mount on a boat we wouldn't call it a Mk 44 which is the technically correct Navy designation, as once again it would be confusing to call the exact some gun a different name depending on what it was sitting on.
:::If nothing else, as it stands the current picture of the Garwood is wrong as all of the miniguns in the film have the slotted GAU-17/A flash hider. The correct picture would undeniably be the GAU-17/A one, and then at this point you are back to saying that that if it was mounted on a USAF helicopter would be a GAU-17/A, but on an Army Black Hawk it is just an M134 because the Army never bothered to come up with a name for it (probably because they are too proud to use a USAF GAU designation). We should put a disclaimer in the GAU-17/A section that it is not actually called that in US Army service though like we have done similar things on several other pages, like the Barrett M82A1/M107 difference, or that we call later P226s P226Rs even though that is not the actual name. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552|talk]]) 22:00, 4 February 2014 (EST)
==Screenshot Request==
: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. --[[User:RealEveryDay|RealEveryDay]] ([[User talk:RealEveryDay|talk]]) 12:27, 23 November 2020 (EST)

I had cross referenced with other website about the US DVD cover for Strike Back Season 4 and they all showed that poster that I had put on the page as the official DVD Cover for the US. Also seeing as the picture below is the cover for the UK Release of the DVD I do believe that the season 4 poster on the page is the official DVD cover.
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 see you're in the process of setting up individual season pages. If you want, I can help by making a basic set up of the other season pages with preliminary formatting and at least a couple of entries with the proper characters/actors for that season along with the available screencaps from the main page. More-or-less the same thing I had did with the ''Criminal Minds'' pages before. Like then I don't have caps of my own for this show, but again, I can get the pages setup on a basic level as placeholders until you get additional caps to finish them off. If you want, of course.

:: Couple of spots to hit if you can get 'em - S2E5 - Don't remember the exact gun but it's some kind of small auto, I believe it was shown by a woman in the episode, it's the episode where the detectives investigate a shooting committed by a little boy (It's not his gun I don't think but one belonging to another parent that she shows Munch/Belzer and Fin/Ice-T). Also a former rape victim Harper Anderson in S2E3 is seen shooting a polished chrome/stainless Desert Eagle at a firing range. EDIT - Also S3E12, a mother and protected witness wields a gun near the end of the episode, also I think there are some police impersonators who are seen with Glocks, not sure though. There's a few other ones, I've made entries as best I can remember on the respective season pages. [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 16:25, 6 March 2014 (EST)
::: Cool. I also trimmed down the remaining copy-and-pasted season pages (7,8,9) and put up the proper production pics on those. I can't really speak to anything much on the show past Season 9, as that was about when I stopped following the show really. But otherwise, I got some more spots, forgive the all-caps on this list here - <BR><BR>
* S4E07 DOLLS - POSSIBLE REM 700 RIFLES SHOWN FROM ESU SNIPERS
* S4E20 DOMINANCE - SMALL SEMIAUTO USED BY SUSPECT
* S5E21 CRIMINAL - NICKEL REVOLVER USED IN ENDING STANDOFF, MP5 FIRED IN STANDOFF
* S6E06 CONSCIENCE - VICTIM'S FATHER OPEN FIRES WITH OFFICER'S WEAPON, GLOCK?
* S6E10 HAUNTED - MAC-10 AND SEMIAUTO USED IN OPENING ROBBERY
* S6E13 QUARRY - POSSIBLE PISTOL USED?
* S6E16 GHOST - CSU PICTURES OF WEAPONS, HANDGUN USED BY FLEEING SUSPECT?
* S7E12 INFECTED - SEMIAUTO USED, EP REGARDS GUN CONTROL

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.
: "Dolls" - I screwed up there, The episode I meant was S2E15 "Countdown", this was near the end but I'm not certain if they showed the ESU sharpshooters at all (they did reference them in the episode though, that I remember). Same might go for "Quarry", not certain of the weapon being shown there either, hence why I have the question mark there. A couple of the other pistols I listed I'm not sure if they're shown well enough for ID either. This was just all stuff from memory, so forgive me it not being too accurate.

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. 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.--[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 18:30, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

RE: Screenshots: Alright, I've been uploading 720p caps but I can certainly upload 1080p captures...I saw you went in and did that...only reason I prefer 720p is because 1080 is almost always interlaced which is kind of a mess but I can always work with that. I use VLC to screen cap once I capture the entire episode and occasionally screen grabs right from the card. For other content like movies I try and get direct grabs from Blu-ray or first/second gen Blu-ray rips....Network logo is near impossible to avoid as its constant....Ill try and keep the file size down to under 200KB as well if thats a concern, I like to minimize re-compression so I'll read the screen cap guide over again and if you have anything else to add just let me know. Ill add the episode and season markers on them all, I believe I did it for every upload just need to add it into the page. - Nateo200 - 20:57, 11 May 2014

I'm undertaking work on the X-Files and just got into serious messing around with Fast Stone. That said, I just uploaded a new version of that image, I wanted your opinion of it, if it's too big or looks really wonky or anything. I plan to try my own hand at tweaking some images as I go, but I think it looks alright at present, at least as good if not better than what I overwrote. So anyway, what say you? [[User:StanTheMan|StanTheMan]] ([[User talk:StanTheMan|talk]]) 18:48, 11 July 2014 (EDT)
: Thanks about the image. As for the HD re-release, I had heard about that, but it seems unlikely, or at best, unclear, that it'll be released as such on Netflix, and since that's where I'm doing it all from, well, kinda stuck for the time being anyway. They may still release here in the US and/or on something else, such as Amazon Plus, but again, not sure. The last couple/few seasons are done in a decent widescreen format as it is, it's mainly the earlier seasons that won't be so good. Either way, it would be waiting longer and putting off work on a page/series long overdue for some kind of overhaul, and the wait may amount to nothing. I really wanted to get the series more to standard on the site, and in fact would have started on it earlier if other things didn't come about - The page is kinda hodge-poged with the screencaps, some sections have none at all while on others, even standard definition caps (proper ones) would be considerably better than some of the existing ones on the page anyway. I will leave some of the images as-is, as the ones I'd get wouldn't really be any better. All-told, since I already have to go back through the series to really get it set-up for individual season pages anyway, may as well get those caps now for the sake of completeness. If we do get a better source for caps later on, that can be dealt with then. I'm saving a log of where most of these guns appear in the show, so that'll make things easier for myself or whoever decides to go for the HD stuff down the road.

:: Here's my list of other stuff, these are for caps I already took myself, some are of course uploaded while others I have on my system (some were not cropped/prepared, others were 'finalized' caps ready to upload but didn't have time to upload them). Also want to thank you for getting that template going (I was mainly having trouble with the category setup, it was tough since this is something that has both movies and TV shows). Anyway -
* E02 'The Host' - Mossberg with ribbed barrel (about 3/4 of the way through the ep)
* E04 'Sleepless' - M16A1 (About 15:30, also near end), M1911A1/SIG P228 (Both near end), Beretta (about midway)
* E05 "Duane Barry' - M16-Canada C7/K4B in sniper config (about 8 or so minutes in), MP5A3 replica (about 4/5th in)
* E06 'Ascension' - Trooper uses a SIG (Possibly P226) about 8-10 minutes in
* E07 '3' - SIG P226 (Seen throughout, cap I took is near the end of the episode)
* E08 'One Breath' - BB Rifles at start, P226 at about 16:00 and 28:30, P228 at about 15:00 (also a bit past that)
* E09 'Firewalker' - SIG P226 about 2/3-3/4 of the way, SIG P228 about 1/4-1/3 of the way, some M16s and Commandos near the end
* E10 'Red Museum' - Beretta near start and end of the episode
* E12 'Aubrey' - P228 at about 24:30, S&W revolver used near end of the episode
* E13 'Irresistible' - P228 near the end, raid with agents armed with Glocks, Mossbergs and an Ithaca about 3/4 of the way in the ep
* E14 'Die Hand der Verletzt' - O/U Shotgun near the end of the ep
* E17 'End Game' - SIG P228 throughout (mostly at start to 1/4 of the way), Bolt sniper rifle (about 1/4 of the way)

:: I only got to Ep17 before I had to start getting on with my moving business last week. BUT, for right now anyway, I can at least watch the remainder of the season and mark out the gun appearances if you like.

Otherwise, again, hope this helps. Appreciate the assistance on these caps, I'm gonna go ahead and set up the extra sections/entries - You put up the caps and I think we'll be golden here and have two seasons locked. Hopefully I can get my desktop back online and carry onward pretty soon.
* E18 'Fearful Symmetry' - Ithaca Field/Featherlight (22:50, 25:00), Other shotguns (23:00), Tranquilizer pistol (23:10- throughout midway, 39:00)

Again, I can get you a rough time log for those images to expedite matters. No doubt sounding like a broken record by now but thanks a bunch! BTW, you might have noticed the episode numbers are off on the S1 page - That's intentional; IMDB and the official production info have an odd production number for the first episode, with the actual listed 1x01/S1E01 (On IMDB) starting with the second episode and so forth. I went over this with FCM so I just wanted to note it with you before you edited any more of the numbers.

===S1 images===
Damn this section's getting pretty big.. Ahem, anyway, I find that deal with the episode listing a bit unique and neat that way, but it is kinda off-putting and strange too, I grant you that. I was thinking the same thing when I was watching it on NetFlix, but then I saw the original listings on the page that were the way I have it now and wondering what was up with that, and then I found out thats actually how it is - I don't know why it has to be that way, but what can ya do?
That said, here's a list of rough time marks for some stuff in S1 (I'm skipping episodes you've already done/started on for now) -
* 'Squeeze' - Other handguns/revolvers at about 13:00
* 'The Jersey Devil' - Bolt Rifles, Rem 870?, Mossberg 500AT (all near the start of ep), Mossberg 500 (37:10), Tranq Rifle (29:15, 38:20), Colt Commando (30:50, 37:10), 1911A1 (30:50)
* 'Shadows' - Glock 19 (around midway?)
* 'Ghost in the Machine' - Glock, S&W, Bernadelli Mod 60 (all near end)
* 'Fallen Angel' - Majority of weapons throughout, main caps near start and midway to 2/3 through ep (rifles, custom SMG, Desert Eagle), Glock 19 (midway to 2/3 and near end), MP5 (midway-around 3/5 and near end), M60 (near end), SP1 rifle also near end (about 4/5?)
* 'Eve' - Beretta Cheetah (midway), Police Revolver (roughly 2/3 of the way), Rifle (near end)
* 'Fire' - PPK (near end), Glock (Near end, just before PPK)
* 'E.B.E.' - Maverick 88 (near start), Deep Throat pistol - possible Ruger auto (near end), Beretta, Mossbergs, M16s (near end, before Deep Throat pistol)
* 'Shapes' - O/U Shotgun, Rem 700 (near start), Lever-action rifle, SAA revolver (34:00), Mossberg 500AT (near end)
* 'Darkness Falls' - Mossberg 500 Field (throughout, main spots 12:30 17:00, 19:00, 21:00, 22:20)
* 'The Erlenmeyer Flask' - Reck Beretta 92FS (near start), other handgun? (33:00)

==RE: Captain America The Winter Soldier==
I've been finding a lot of methods in the digital releases that allows me to screencap them without the digital copyright limitations kicking in. For one of them, most digital download providers have a video player option where you can see the video's native resolution and when you open the file, it automatically opens it at its native resolution where you can then stretch or decrease in size depending on the screen resolution. At that point, I use tools such as Snipping Tool and Fraps (although it is not very reliable at times) to capture the entire screen with some user input on how much of the screen I want to capture. Then, I resize them to its "native" resolution and stretch them slightly in a way that's not noticeable to keep it at a good reasonable size that is still good quality. There's a lot of methods of bypassing them, but these are one of them. As a matter of fact, iTunes released Captain America: The Winter Soldier a couple of hours earlier than normal for some reason. Anyway, if there are issues regarding the digital releases, I could stop and/or remove the screenshots until the Blu Ray and DVD copies are actually released. - [[User:Kenny99|Kenny99]] ([[User talk:Kenny99|talk]]) 19:35, 19 August 2014 (EDT)
Well, some digital releases offer 1080p actually, but I just have a preference for 720p. Even though digital releases are technically official releases, I would agree that it is best to wait for DVD and Blu Ray releases since I don't know if Imfdb has any special rules regarding those (they mentioned clearly that they want official DVD and Blu Ray releases in the U.S.). - [[User:Kenny99|Kenny99]] ([[User talk:Kenny99|talk]]) 19:48, 19 August 2014 (EDT)

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
login issues
It's a storage issue. We're out again. Might try an upgrade tomorrow night since I have Monday off. --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. --bunni (talk) 00:54, 9 June 2019 (EDT)
... 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.
I finished the page, guess we both decided to screencap it.--Mandolin (talk) 15:46, 6 July 2019 (EDT)
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)
Some of your pictures for the page aren't showing up for some reason, I can't figure out why--Mandolin (talk) 12:57, 2 August 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)
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.--Shabook (talk) 07:30, 4 May 2020 (EDT)

Hi Ben, please change my username to Mirko. (bunni declined my request to make a new account) Can you also confirm that this is a Kel Tec P11?

Thanks --Slum 5050 (talk) 17:38, 16 October 2020 (EDT)
Hi again I have an issue. E-mails aren't being sent to me by the site. Bunni actually did accept my request and I should have received an account creation password email on the 12th and never got it , and tonight I've sent 'reset your password' to both of my emails and still nothing.--Slum 5050 (talk) 21:31, 16 October 2020 (EDT)
Screenshot Request
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)
I probably will update. Thanks for the details. --Ben41 (talk) 19:06, 24 November 2020 (EST)
Dude, thank you SO much for updating those screencaps for the Garand on Fargo season 4! You literally pulled the same frames I used! Well done. I appreciate your professionalism! o7 RealEveryDay (talk) 16:15, 6 December 2020 (EST)
The Stand (2020)
Still a few innocuous scoped hunting rifles to screencap and there is a shot of Norris (Nicholas Lea) issuing what appears to be Glock 17 pistols to the newly organized Boulder Free Zone Police in episode nine: "The Circle Closes". Glad you have the ability to screencap the streaming services. Huge help. --Jcordell (talk) 11:55, 15 February 2021 (EST)

Black Widow Deleted Scenes
Hey, I noticed that you uploaded a high-quality screenshot of deleted scenes in BW. Could you tell me where you found the scenes in good quality? Pustelga7 (talk) 15:34, 24 February 2022 (EST)
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?
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)
S.W.A.T Season 6 Episode 1 & 2
What happen to the firearms from the two part premiere of S.W.A.T Season 6 episodes 1 & 2? Because I known most of the rifles in those episodes were AK variants.
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)

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)
