With that one are you sure we shouldn't just redirect it to Leningrad Attack on?--[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 10:35, 5 September 2011 (CDT) | With that one are you sure we shouldn't just redirect it to Leningrad Attack on?--[[User:Predator20|Predator20]] 10:35, 5 September 2011 (CDT) | ||
I just put the page as a redirect. In the future, PW, you can use the redirect instead of deleting the page if there's an alternate title for the film. --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 05:14, 6 September 2011 (CDT) | |||

Razor Blade Smile
You want to set images to |thumb|none| instead of |thumb|left|, and fullscreen images are set at 500px, not 600px. You also want to link to weapon pages in the descriptions for each listing.--PistolJunkie 13:59, 20 March 2011 (CDT)
Thanks a lot! This is my first contribution and I was struggling with a few things. All I need to do now is create a few actors pages, add guns from this movie on the weapon pages and finally create one new weapons page. Have mercy on a novice!
Not a problem. Compared to the pages that a lot of new users make, yours was a pretty easy fix. The only problems were in regards to minor, easily rectified formatting issues (most new users wind up making jumbled train-wrecks for pages). The descriptions were pretty good as well, and only needed linking (usually "fixing" new pages means rewriting a bunch of poorly written excuses for sentences). All in all, not a bad start. Hell, MPM08 was able to take care of most of it before I could even hit "Save Changes".
Two other tips, if you're not sure how to format something, just jack the coding from another page (I steal from my own pages all the time). Also, repond to comments on that user's page, and sign your posts (either by typing --~~~~ or by clicking the second-to-last button above the editing window).--PistolJunkie 18:46, 20 March 2011 (CDT)
Again thanks a lot for your constructive comments, I am quite new to this page as far as contributing is concerned but I am eager to learn! I did indeed figure out that 'jacking' is sometimes the most practical way, when constructing this first page I had a page for another movie open on editing mode to see how it should be done.
Sorry for the many times I save a page. I am quite keen to make my first (but certainly not last!) entry a good one so I do check back once in a while to see if I can improve. For next time I will make sure to create and finish a page in one evening so that I don't invite others to spend their precious time on something that I was going to finish the next day...
By the way, is there an easier way to communicate with other users than this? Later in the week I will make the revisions I mentioned above and I may need to ask more experienced members for their advice. If necessary, I don't mind to share an e-mail address. --~~~~
Bruni 92
I added it to the Beretta page. All registered users can edit the page not just me, I changed the protection level because of anonymous users making bad edits, you can edit the page all day long since you are registered.--Predator20 10:55, 26 March 2011 (CDT)
Wow, that's quick! Looks cool, thanks a lot!--PeeWee055 11:01, 26 March 2011 (CDT)
Heaven's Burning
I've started the page for Heaven's Burning because you had uploaded all the pictures a month ago and had not created the page yet. If you want to finish this, please go ahead. --Ben41 13:22, 19 May 2011 (CDT)
That's much appreciated, I was intending to finish right after the upload but the last few weeks have been crazy. Allow me to send you my 'draft' for your convenience this weekend, I spend a good deal of time on this movie and I have all the actors names and maybe a gun or two you may not have spotted.
Cool to see that there's more people who like this movie. It's a personal favourite of mine and it deserves more credit than it got. Anyway, have fun completing the page, hope my comments will be of help. --PeeWee055 14:46, 19 May 2011 (CDT)
Hi there,
Please find below my notes that I have been keeping for a month now. As you can see, I am sending you a summary plus some comments that may be of use to you. I am sorry to say that at present I don’t really have the time to sit down and complete this entry myself.
Summary:
'Heaven’s Burning' is a 1997 road movie set in southern Australia. It tells the tragic story of Collin who accepts to be the driver of a run-away car during a bank robbery. When the robbery goes horribly wrong, the robbers kidnap Japanese tourist Midori, who’s just run away from her husband during their honeymoon in Australia. After a while, the robbers decide to kill their hostage but Collin, who now sees himself getting dragged into a downward violent spiral, saves her.
The two run-aways Collin and Midori take off on a journey through the Australian outback making a living by robbing banks, with an unlikely but intense love relationship developing between the two of them. During their journey, they are chased by the police, Midori’s dishonoured husband who turned insane plus members of the Afghan emigrant family who planned the bank robbery.
Listed guns:
• Smith & Wesson Model 27: this looks more like a Model 28 to me, especially due to the more round-shaped front sight (check gun images on IMFDB weapons page). • Beretta 92FS: the robber holding it is called Mahood and is played by Robert Mammone. • M1911A1: the robber holding it is called Gulbuddin and is played by Salvatore Coco. • Federal Ordnance PSP-07: this looks more like an unported Springfield Armory Omega to me due to the flat front (Federal Ordnance front is at an angle) and the round trigger guard. The Omega is a rare multi-calibre M1911A1 variant that uses a Springfield Armory M1911A1 frame and a German Peters-Stahl slide & barrel. More info: http://www.recguns.com/Sources/IIIC2o1.html. Picture in IMFDB’s database: ‘Springfield Armoury Omega’ (with Armory spelled incorrectly as Armoury). • Luger P08: the guy holding it is called Boorjan and is played by Petru Gheorghiu.
Additional guns:
• High Standard Model K-1200 Riot Deluxe: I noticed one of the SWAT officers holding this one, picture in IMFDB’s database: ‘heavensburning-k1200’. • Unidentified revolver: On two occasions do I see revolvers that I can’t identify, pictures in IMFDB’s database: ‘heavensburning-unidrev-01/02’. • Unidentified sniper rifle: I see one of the SWAT officers holding what seems to me like a shotgun with a scope on it, can’t identify it, picture in IMFDB’s database: ‘heavensburning-unidrif’.
Have fun! --PeeWee055 09:04, 22 May 2011 (CDT)
District 9 Vektor Z88
First off, I didn't do the District 9 page. And what proof do you have that it's a Vektor Z88 and not just a regular 92FS? Aside from the other Vektor guns present? Excalibur01 06:18, 19 July 2011 (CDT)
- You know who helped with the District 9 page? Olly Steel, the armorer of the movie. It's a 92FS.-protoAuthor 19:05, 19 July 2011 (CDT)
I did see Olly Steel's name on the page but I was not aware he was actually involved in such great detail. If that is so, he will have seen this gun's entry and I fully rest my case :-)
By the way, I am relatively new here so could somebody please confirm the following? The best way to communicate with fellow contributors is; (1) add a new topic in the user talk page of another person, (2) wait until that person posts a reply on his talk page below my entry and (3) reply again on that very same talk page?
Thanks for getting back to me, I don't want to be a pain to you guys! --PeeWee055 03:13, 20 July 2011 (CDT)
- It depends. Some users will reply on their own talk page, some on yours (so you'll be posting replies to each other on on the other's talk page). I personally prefer the latter since it pops up a notification to tell you when you have a new reply. Evil Tim 03:17, 20 July 2011 (CDT)
- No worries, I like to see proactive users where it matters --AdAstra2009 15:06, 20 July 2011 (CDT)
Heaven's Burning
In Australia, the tactical units are not called SWAT, so that's why the names were changed to tactical. Also, it doesn't make sense to use the screenshot of Patrick Dugin wearing a mask for his actor page. If you have a different picture of Dugin without the mask, then please upload and use that for his page. --Ben41 06:16, 27 August 2011 (CDT)
If it's police from South Australia, then the tactical unit would be called STAR (Special Tasks and Rescue). Also, new picture for Matthew Dyktynski should be used. --Ben41
re:weapons overview
I think what you're talking about is redirects. What you have to do is create new page called Bruni 92 or whatever the case may be. Then redirect it to it's section in the Beretta 92 page. With the Springfield Omega I would move it to where the rest of the Springfield's are. Then do the redirect. I'll do one for you so you can see how it's done. --Predator20 09:32, 27 August 2011 (CDT)
- Here's a link to a redirect page. http://www.imfdb.org/w/index.php?title=Bruni_92&redirect=no Click edit and you can see how the coding is done. --Predator20 09:35, 27 August 2011 (CDT)
- Well it looks like you got it figured out, my work here is done. :) Thanks for the complement on my HP, I need to take that thing out again, it's been awhile.--Predator20 13:46, 28 August 2011 (CDT)
Broken Arrow
Just letting you know that in Broken Arrow, the stealth bomber is specifically identified in the film as a "B-3", not a B2. --Ben41 18:46, 28 August 2011 (CDT)
