Sorry, your last edit in Tiger I Tank section is a little incorrect. The exact replica of Tiger was build specially for filming, but due to some reasons it was completed too late and wasn't used, while the screen Tiger is a vismodded IS-2. So the caption for Belyy tigr-Tiger.jpg "Replica of the German Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger I tank which must was be used in the film" is correct, this image is of the proposed screen tank but not of the one that really appeared on screen.

... 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.

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.

==Timecop Custom Assault Pistol==
==Stranger Things Season 3==
I finished the page, guess we both decided to screencap it.--[[User:Mandolin|Mandolin]] ([[User talk:Mandolin|talk]]) 15:46, 6 July 2019 (EDT)
Hey, I am glad you finally made a page for these guns. However, I am not sure that "Timecop Custom Assault Pistol" is a good name for them because as far as I can tell, Felcan Enterprises (the armory that owns the guns) built them long before ''Timecop''. Those guns appeared in episodes of ''[[The X-Files]]'' and ''[[The Highlander]]'' (the 1992 TV series) before they were in ''Timecop''.
== 21 Jump Street ==
I think we should just go ahead and give the guns a name. Since they were made by Tom Felcan's company, we should call them the "Felcan MP" or something like that. Also, keep in mind that there are two variants of the gun - long- and short-barreled versions. I propose that we call them "Felcan MP" and "Felcan MP-C". It will be a lot easier than writing out, "Timecop Custom Assault Pistol" for every page on which they appear. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] ([[User talk:MT2008|talk]]) 13:08, 16 January 2015 (EST)
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)
:Fair enough. --[[User:Ultimate94ninja|Ultimate94ninja]] ([[User talk:Ultimate94ninja|talk]]) 06:10, 8 July 2019 (EDT)
:Also, a lot of the information you wrote in the summary is not correct. Tom Felcan used to have fake MP5Ks in their inventory, but those guns are a different type of weapon, and Felcan is a Canadian armory, so import restrictions in the U.S. are irrelevant. I will re-write the summary in a bit. Still, this is a good start, and I am glad we have a page for those guns now. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] ([[User talk:MT2008|talk]]) 13:16, 16 January 2015 (EST)
==Once Upon A Time In Hollywood==
Some of your pictures for the page aren't showing up for some reason, I can't figure out why--[[User:Mandolin|Mandolin]] ([[User talk:Mandolin|talk]]) 12:57, 2 August 2019 (EDT)
::You raise a good point - they could have been made for ''[[Timecop]]'' and used on those shows before filming on ''[[Timecop]]'' began. But I'm still skeptical because there are two versions of the gun, and only one version appears in ''[[Timecop]]'' (the short-barreled version). I doubt that they would have built two types of guns for the same movie if only one type actually appeared in the film, though I suppose it's not impossible. But I still suspect they were made for another sci-fi movie that we haven't seen yet.
== SIMON rifle grenade in Terminator Genisys ==
::I still think we should name the guns just so that we don't have to refer to them as "Timecop Custom Assault Pistol" constantly. It's too awkward to write out, and the guns have been in so many movies and TV shows that I think they qualify for a fictional name. Kinda like the way we refer to the rifles from ''[[Deep Rising]]'' as the M1-L1 (their name in that movie) on that weapon's page - and those guns were also built by Tom Felcan's armorers. -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] ([[User talk:MT2008|talk]]) 13:36, 16 January 2015 (EST)
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)
:::Yeah, I realize you were following that convention, but this is a case where I think the name you chose would just be too awkward. Plus, the name on the page fails to distinguish between the two variants of the gun. As Stan and I agree, we need to have a name that makes it easy to distinguish between them.
== Re:Continuing on 1985 MacGyver ==
:::Compare the two pictures that you posted - the short-barreled version is the one that appears in ''[[Crying Freeman]]'', while the long-barreled version was in ''[[Smallville]]''. Both guns use the same lower receiver and magazine well, but the long-barreled version (Felcan MP) has a front sight, which the short-barreled version (MP-C) lacks. The MP also seems to have a flash hider as standard, while the MP-C only has a MAC-10-style threaded barrel (though in ''[[Timecop]]'', it has a custom barrel shroud). You can also see other distinctions - see how the front of the receiver on the MP has four elongated slits, while the MP-C has six holes? The back of the receiver on the MP is also longer than the MP-C.
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)
:::(And you will notice how much easier it is for me to have a conversation about these guns when I am calling them "MP" and "MP-C" - hence my preference for giving them a name with variant distinctions). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] ([[User talk:MT2008|talk]]) 13:57, 16 January 2015 (EST)
== Splitting up the Star Wars pages ==
::::Compare these two silhouette views:
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)
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)

:::::Either way, it means that there are essentially two versions of the gun with different upper receiver units, so I think we'll want to distinguish between them. Same as we would for MP5 variants, for instance (i.e. an MP5A2 and MP5A3 are the same gun with different stock types). -[[User:MT2008|MT2008]] ([[User talk:MT2008|talk]]) 14:21, 16 January 2015 (EST)

I'm done.. But I'm not! Well sorta. First off, I never think you're totally done on these kinds of things.. That said, I have finished the main pages especially the images and all (despite having to go back and get an episode worth of screencaps because my old computer, which for months I've been waiting to get back online, and did for a couple weeks, took a total shit on me the other day and might be fried for good.. Bah). Mostly the last set of cross linkings/listings for the gun pages and stuff is what's left, also toying with putting the Infoboxes on the pages.. We'll see. Otherwise, I've got the series pages more-or-less as complete as can be at this point, and I certainly am proud and happy about that. Hopefully we can get HD images for all of it in due course and we'll be totally tip-top. Meantime, though, I'm quite happy with what we got right now. I wanna thank you again for the help you've given on this, with the template and the HD caps for the first two seasons.

Do you have a lot of images you're planning to upload for this one? I only ask 'cause I watched it at the start of the month and took quite a few caps myself - They're HD caps and should look good once I finalize them proper - Just haven't had time to mess with it the last few days. If you plan on doing (or have done) a wide screencapping here it's good - Load 'em up and if there's any I got that you didn't do, I'll load those. If you got 'em all, no biggie.

Hello Ben41.

We have been trying to contact site owner bunni about this issue, but it has been difficult to reach them.

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.

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

I'm currently capping from Netflix, it will take me a while, but I am planning to cap the entire 10 seasons of the show, am uploading as I go so I don't forget what I have and haven't uploaded, sorry about changing the title, completely forgot it was called MI-5 in the US, hope I changed it correctly (one of my first title changes) --[[User:RedRobinAlpha|RedRobinAlpha]] ([[User talk:RedRobinAlpha|talk]]) 01:51 12 May 2015 (GMT)

== 23 The Homesman ==
That percussion pistol isn't a "Dueling Pistol" - it has a belt-hook, which would never be present on a "Dueling PIstol" (It's actually doubtful if many or indeed any pairs of pistols were primarily intended for dueling anyway. Gentlemen's quality pistols were sold in pairs, often cased. They could be used for dueling and some of course were but they weren't marketed as such, they were just pairs of pistols.) That pistol is sold in repro form by Lymans as a Plains Pistol, a workmanlike un-fancy frontiersman's weapon.

==Ongoing==
My initial intentions for the Ongoing flag was as the TV counterpart to the NowShowing flag. Prior to the DVD release date, there are legitimate reasons for a page to be incomplete, not so afterwards. And a lot of the roll backs I made were for pages where the show hadn't been updated past one or two episodes, or in one case, hadn't even finished airing. Sorry I can't be more articulate here, I'm traveling now. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 20:27, 23 May 2015 (EDT)

Oh, then I probably overstated that prop's use in the film.

Yeah, no problem. I'll be sure to remember the proper screenshot naming in the future, altough this is not the first time you're giving me this advice (Walking Dead S04). I've had the earlier seasons of HoW lying around on my pc for a while, and after recently watching the series again, I thought I'd finally bring 'em here. So, yes, I'll be redoing both seasons 3 and 4. And most definitely 5 in the future.

==RE: Deadpool==
As stated by the rules " Watermarked images should be regarded as placeholders. Images which contain watermarks, especially logos from other websites, should be replaced with images which do not as soon as it is practical to do so. While in some cases it is not possible to obtain a non-watermarked image, in all other cases the image should be regarded as low quality (regardless of resolution) and its replacement as a high priority. "
Once an un watermarked image becomes available I will update, but for now it's allowed by the rules of the website, so I'm gonna put the image back on the page. --[[User:RedRobinAlpha|RedRobinAlpha]] ([[User talk:RedRobinAlpha|talk]]) 22:37, 02 July 2015 (GMT)

Hey Ben, I have a question regarding VLC player since you know it much better than I do.

Would you know how to fix this issue?--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] ([[User talk:Alienqueen11|talk]]) 18:06, 19 August 2015 (EDT)

::::I've never looked at the aspect ratio, since I'm using the DVDs. It's frustrating how little care they put into these DVD though. Not only do they look worse than the 1966 series, they didn't even bother removing the "In stereo where available" banner. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 19:51, 19 August 2015 (EDT)
:::Hey thanks for your response, the accelerated output box is checked already and everything, and the screenshots still come out at 720, I even tried my Heroes dvd and they still came out at 720 even though it was 853 when I capped the show over a year ago, so should I just accept the new width of the shots and move on, or is there something more to the settings?--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] ([[User talk:Alienqueen11|talk]]) 18:37, 19 August 2015 (EDT)
:::I Guess I'll have to live with the changes unless I find a way to set it back to 853, it must have to do with the update some time ago. What do you usually screencap from like whenever you do The Walking Dead, or any other tv series or movie you do?--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] ([[User talk:Alienqueen11|talk]]) 19:53, 19 August 2015 (EDT)
:::Yeah, Surface did air from 2005-2006, unfortunately there is no other release I can find of it aside from download. Does VLC play Blu ray if you have a disk drive capable of reading them? Do you do digital download a lot? Because I noticed when an episode of The Walking Dead airs, you usually have a screencaps from it a day or two later.
:::You can download the disk onto the hard drive to digital form? or do you use the Ultraviolet or digital copy that comes with the releases?--[[User:Alienqueen11|Alienqueen11]] ([[User talk:Alienqueen11|talk]]) 20:19, 19 August 2015 (EDT)

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)

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)

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)
