Yes, it would be 'fun' for fans of the show or anyone who was curious about each and every instrument that can be used as weapon. But it (a) takes up space (b) more importantly, it takes up SERVER SPACE ... we've had to do two upgrades already according to Bunni (Wikisysop and fearless leader) and (c) it clutters up the pages and distracts from the PRIMARY purpose of IMFDB. So all members must adhere to the primary focus of the site and resist all temptation to veer it away, due primarily to the clutter and massive size it would create. Also I seriously doubt that anyone would wonder what type of plastic knife or suction cup arrow was used in a TV show. This entire site was create to educate people as to the realities of armorers and movie guns in Movies & TV. Only later it expanded to Video Games and Anime when people asked the question "What type of gun is that? And does it exist in the real world?" We have a LONG way to go before we are complete in the realm of MOVIE and TV Pages (considering that we are the Internet MOVIE FIREARMS DataBase) which is our primary focus. Since we have so many incomplete or lame pages, we want to discourage any sort of expansion into other realms. Thanks for your inquiry.

Revision as of 19:05, 2 April 2010
Здравствуйте. Прошу прощения за столь длительное отсутствие. Нашёл одного из админов: http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/User:Gunmaster45. --RedCharger 15:40, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
- Здравствуйте. Отсутствие не доительное. :) Но это админ этого сайта, наверное. Я боюсь, вы меня не поняли, я ищу админа сайта kiwe.ru, который скорее всего здесь есть. Хотя, все равно спасибо за помощь. :) --Kloga 16:51, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
Screenshot
Sorry to say but a lot screenshots you uploaded have to be deleted since you take TOO many screenshots for the same gun (some of them even have the respective gun appearing in them) and bows & arrows, knives,etc are strictly not allowed in IMFDB. Another thing... keep the size of the screenshots at the page between 400-500px because 200px is too small for them.--SB2296 16:55, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
- Actually, what does it mean "strictly not allowed" ? Bows, knifes, etc. are weapons too, so i think it will be great to write not just about guns, more interesting to reader, cause knives, swords, bows as interesting to people as guns and explosives.So i disagree with your position in this situation. :( At least why tank cannon was removed ? And you removed screnshots of the pistol and rifle, that i most liked. :( This article about comedy show, why i just can't write funny things ? And it's even April Fools Day today...
P.S. Well, why we can't do section "Other weapons" and write about not firearms but other things that can be considered as weapons ? --Kloga 17:55, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
- See its a common prejudice about IMFDB is that its a database for any "weapons" appearing in movies, television, video games, etc. However if see the full form of IMFDB, its actually Internet Firarms DataBase and as I said anything outside guns (and explosives devices like grenades,etc) are barred from this site. I recommend you better talk with the admins cause they are the rulemakers here:
........Like Ben41 said it would be best to keep the non-guns in the discussion page.--SB2296 13:50, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
- I think that discussion pages for discussion, not for other weapons. Maybe it will be better to use something like this instead of discussion page ? --Kloga 16:22, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
- You take TOO many screenshots for a gun appearing in the same scene and some of those screenshots do not show the gun quite well. You should better see the pages of IMFDB to learn about how to take screenshots. Take this for example:
--SB2296 17:23, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
- Why to many ? Just want to show all the aspects , cause there's one or two unclear screenshots on other pages and i didn't like this. I really like to see all in details and examples. Yes, for a INCORRECT VISUAL EFFECTS MUZZLE FLASH from REVOLVER ! :) Just wanted to show two examples (there's match more in the film, actually). In case of Dollarhydes handgun - what on my screenshots - it's what you actually only see in the movie. I think, they didn't even used the gun for this scene. Don't delete this pictures, until i post them into page, then read and then decide - delete them or not. Relax. Take it easy. And why you deleted my pages about Mr.Bean other weapons. :( It was just an experiment in how people will like this ... --Kloga 17:33, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
RE:
- Greetings,
- I must echo SB2296. I do understand that there are some people on the 'Net who are into swords and other weapons, but this is the Internet Movie Firearms Database, and that is the bottom line. I think it is best to keep to keep other weapons outside of the main page. I apologize truly, but this site is only to document firearms in movies, no other weapons. Hope you understand. -MT2008 15:01, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for your answer. Now what about this ? I think it's more useful then using discussion pages.
Just guns
Well sometimes, people like to put in grenades and rocket launchers, but really, swords and knives don't need to be on a page. Sure Rambo has one, but it's the Rambo knife. As a general thing, this IS a wiki about guns and nothing else.
Also I guess cheap chinese airsoft do count, just I don't use them for skirmishes. Mine and my team and the people I've played against cost hundreds of dollars. Any airsoft fires 6mm bbs Excalibur01
- Thanks for your answer, too. Rambo knife it's of course something mythic. But I wanna do pages about Highlander films, where a lot of firearms used, but they're secondary to swords.
I think pages like this one can be instead of posting this kinds of information in discussion pages, that for discussion, not for posting.
About airsoft. I know, that professional airsoft is cool weapon replicas, using gas, electricity etc. I even read in a magazine that you can find even airsoft M134 Minigun. (Always wanted to have one, but don't know where to find and how much it can cost) So, even if i've got cheap chinese toy, in which this every bullet need to be loaded in the barrel separetly, it can be considered as an irsoft gun ? It's cool, cause i've got many of this things - started to collect this things in my childhood and didn't stop even now. Nice things. :) --Kloga 16:22, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
Use of other weapons
Well, we hear requests like this all the time. Unfortunately the short answer is no. Please note this important rule taken from the RULES page:
IMFDB is an information resource, not our private playground
- This is a source of Information for weapons and movie buffs around the world. Certainly it is tempting to think of IMFDB as one's own personal 'playground' but please realize that we do this work to serve others.
Yes, it would be 'fun' for fans of the show or anyone who was curious about each and every instrument that can be used as weapon. But it (a) takes up space (b) more importantly, it takes up SERVER SPACE ... we've had to do two upgrades already according to Bunni (Wikisysop and fearless leader) and (c) it clutters up the pages and distracts from the PRIMARY purpose of IMFDB.
