Gun Brand Pages
Yo. So now that at least 2 admins have contributed to the new "Gun Brand Pages" is it safe to say the idea is sticking? I want to keep working on these but I dont want to spend all this time just to have them deleted. I'm still new to this site so whats the procedure for getting this approved by the powers that be? Happy holidays, Zackmann08 08:06, 24 December 2011 (CST)
- Thanks for your help with the Heckler & Koch page. Any feedback? You like the format? --Zackmann08 14:46, 25 December 2011 (CST)
Kampfpistole
Thanks for your remarks, they make perfect sense. I did not check my e-mail in the last few minutes so I was totally unaware that somebody else (you) was working on the same page. This way we can keep eachother busy, right? My apologies for driving you crazy!
Reason that I wanted to rename 'Walther Kampfpistole' to a more generic 'Kampfpistole' is that today I read an about the history of this gun. Originally a flare pistol ("Heeresmodell 1934"), from 1943 onwards it was produced by both Walther and Erma as ‘Kamppistole’ (no further numeric nomination) having a big 'Z' on the side indicating that it had 'Zuege' (German for grooves) so that small explosive charges could be fired more accurately. The article did not indicate an original designing manufacturer so I figured removing ‘Walther’ would be the right thing to do. If you say that Walther is indeed the company where it all started, then I can only agree to keep matters as they are.
As for the LP-42, I see what you mean. Problem is that ‘Kampfpistole’ is actually a very generic name simply meaning ‘battle pistol’ (just like ‘assault rifle’ may apply to AK-47 and M16 alike). In this case, both guns are correctly referred to as ‘Kampfpistole’ but they are of completely different design. As such, I would suggest to remove the ‘Kampfpistole Z’ image from the LP-42 page, leave matters as they are and not merge, wouldn’t you agree?
By the way, what do you mean by “please don't edit war, it doesn't help”? I am not aware I have been changing anything else today than the Kampfpistole. Take care, let me know what you think and Merry Christmas, --PeeWee055 10:36, 24 December 2011 (CST)
- Good to see your remarks, be my guest to make changes; I will stay away from the subject for a few days hahaha Not sure of you are aware, but 'Leuchtpistole' is yet another generic nomination. It's German for 'Flare Pistol' so I think it would not be correct to put all 'Leuchtpistols' on one page, not in the least because the designs are very different. Take care, --PeeWee055 10:58, 24 December 2011 (CST)
Spammer
Since you are one of the most active admins on this site, here is a spammer I consider banning: Grishacka1929. Highlighted in blue is his contribution. - Kenny99 18:52, 24 December 2011 (CST)
This guys is crazy
He's a raving asshat. He's another Liam, save for the fact he does know his 1911s. But he's also being a jerk. Okay, so M1911 is the MILITARY designation, the Colt Govt. Model is the company's name for the pistols they sold to the public. M1911 is used by a lot of people as a generic description for that type of pistol. When I say Commercial M1911, I mean a commercial version of the M1911. There is nothing actually erroneous about that description. But think about it. People KNOW the difference between the M1911 and the M1911A1, they know that there were improvements made between the wars. Just calling them the Govt Model doesn't help people to ultimately get to know the difference. Boy, I sure attract a lot of guys who hate on me. This guy needs anger management. Now if we need to update the descriptions, we can. On his conduct, you were right. His rage makes him an unacceptable element on IMFDB. Doesn't matter how much he knows. If he becomes that abusive that quickly, then he is not the personality type that moves IMFDB forward. Thanks for the note. I think I (we as in you're a mod too) need to come up with a code of conduct that warns people to be polite. There are sites out there that are so deathly afraid of offending someone's sensibilities or their freedom of speech, that they are often held hostage by people who promote bad behavior. We welcome corrections when they are done in the right way. MoviePropMaster2008 03:20, 25 December 2011 (CST)
Se7en
Sorry, but this page is really kind of ruined when the actor's name is mentioned. It's not really vital on this page to know who the actor was that used the weapon is on this page as much as what character used it. I understand that you disagree with a lot of edits that a particular user makes, but I'll be on the case to let the user know if the edits go overboard. --Ben41 04:30, 25 December 2011 (CST)
Kampfpistole Z
Any objections? Sounds reasonable. (I hadn't really been following the Kampfpistole saga, I sort of just stumbled into it.) --Funkychinaman 16:08, 27 December 2011 (CST)
Salt featured article
Can you change the Salt entry on the featured article template from a SIG SG553 to a P556 SWAT with a SG550 lower please, as it is locked to me. I recently changed it on the Salt page, but featured article just came up and noticed it was now wrong. --commando552 05:04, 29 December 2011 (CST)
Dead links
Hey man, I've been working on converting a number of pages from the list format over to a wikitable. I've noticed that there are some cases where a movie is listed, but there is no page for that movie. For example, if you look at the M1911A1, about halfway down the Films section Nowhere to Run (1993) is listed, but there is no page for it. Should it be removed when I convert it to a table?
(As a side note, I'm not actually editing the M1911 page, that was just the quickest example I could find.) --Zackmann08 15:52, 4 January 2012 (CST)
- Gotcha. That's super helpful! Thanks.--Zackmann08 23:00, 4 January 2012 (CST)
Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2009
Yeah, did some reseach, this game is available in Europe, bt it is under a different name (Same game, different name), it is called "Cabela's Dangerous Adventures". And it is available for the PS2, PS3, Wii, and Xbox 360 (The page is for the Xbox/PS3 version). Don't know if you have an Xbox or a PS3, so that is up to you, and it is dirt cheap by now. - User:1morey January 15, 2012 12:40 PM (EST)
Copyrights
Hey man. I was just updating a page and I noted that the "copyrights" link at the bottom that shows up any time you edit a page is now red. When I clicked on it I noticed that you deleted the page. Just wanted to make sure you were aware that every time you edit a page or a discussion post, a link to that page shows up on the bottom. Any issue with me putting up a redirect on the old Copyright page that takes you to the "General disclaimer" page? --Zackmann08 10:18, 16 January 2012 (CST)
Copyright page
There's still time... (Seriously though, is there any legal reason why TOS's and disclaimers have to be a solid block of text? During my newspaper days, we avoided solid blocks of text whenever possible and cringed whenever we saw them in other papers. It's just telling readers "Don't read this.") --Funkychinaman 12:36, 16 January 2012 (CST)
Manufacturer Template
I created a template for the manufacturer pages (Manufacturer Template). I am going to add a link to it from the [[Category:Manufacturer]] page. I would love any input from you and other admins on it. I want to make it as straight forward as possible. Thanks! --Zackmann08 13:36, 19 January 2012 (CST)
GLOCK
GLOCK (in all caps) is the official name of the company as stated on their website. --Ben41 06:31, 21 January 2012 (CST)
Re: NSV
Hi. Thanks for the info. It is strange though, why would KBP have an image of the Kord on their site, which is made by Degtyarev? --bozitojugg3rn4ut 11:27, 22 January 2012 (CST)
- I am totally confused now... >< Please delete the pic then, I reupload it with a correct name if and when I will make a page for the Degtyarev compnay. Thanks. --bozitojugg3rn4ut 12:56, 22 January 2012 (CST)

Idontthinksotim
I don't this is actually directed to you. It's a catchphrase from the American series Home Improvement. --Funkychinaman 04:41, 21 February 2012 (CST)
Top Shot - Season 3
Hey man. I saw your edit on Top Shot - Season 3. While I get what your saying that revolvers technically are pistols... That distinction isn't made elsewhere on the site. For example, the NCIS and Burn Notice pages, some of the most popular on the site, list Pistols and Revolvers. It seems like an unnecessary distinction to make... I respect my elders and know you are an admin, I'm not trying to get into a pissing contest or anything but it just seems unnecessary to me, particularly since that isn't the way it is done elsewhere on the site. Thoughts? --Zackmann08 15:44, 23 February 2012 (CST)
- IMHO, it seems like Pistols and Revolvers fall under the overall heading of Handguns... "When distinguished as a subset of handguns, a pistol is a handgun with a chamber that is integral with the barrel, as opposed to a revolver, wherein the chamber is separate from the barrel as a revolving cylinder." Webster gives a similar definition. I take back what I said previously. Based on a little more research it seems that a "pistol" always refers to a Handgun where the chamber is integrated in the barrel. For example, a Derringer would be a pistol despite not being semi-auto. Any handgun with a rotating cylinder would be a revolver and they would all fall under the overall category of Handguns. --Zackmann08 16:48, 23 February 2012 (CST)
- Thats actually really interesting! Never knew you guys defined it differently over there. :-) --Zackmann08 11:24, 24 February 2012 (CST)
SOCOM 4
So I'm in the middle of leaving a message for Commandoninja137 (the guy who created the SOCOM 4 page, if were calling 'that' a page...) warning him that the page was about to be deleted because of his lack of effort. I had JUST added the nuke tag to the page right before i posted the message on his discussion page. When i posted it with the [[SOCOM 4]] tag, the link came up in red. I'm thinking "huh, I musta mispelled it"... but no. You beat me to the punch and got rid of the page literally seconds after I nuked it. GOOD MANNNN!!! :-) --Zackmann08 15:29, 25 February 2012 (CST)
- I'm kind of surprised the page lasted as long as it did. I wanted to just delete the stuff copied from Wikipedia, but then the page would be completely empty and would look even worse. --Funkychinaman 15:45, 25 February 2012 (CST)
- Yes, I know. I grew suspicious because it was a little too... nice. I cleaned up and consolidated the dead links a few months back, and I don't think there's a single SOCOM game here that could be considered complete. I know they're console only, but still...
DVD Screenshots
I mostly have DVD and the Blue-Ray I have is a Blue-Ray/DVD combo pack so I'm set. What I'm wondering though is can you get screencaps from things like Hulu and Netflix? --Yo dawg 111 09:29, 26 February 2012 (CST)
Re: G36C
It indeed looks similar, although the nomenclature appears to be different. Anyways, I will add it and if someone can find a better match, he will change it. Thanks. --bozitojugg3rn4ut 12:52, 27 February 2012 (CST)
Masterkey in Homefront
Hi. Please change the Masterkey's gun image on the Homefront page to this one, as this has a slightly better quality, and it is visible that the rifle is actually a KAC SR-16, not a Colt M4.
Thank you. --bozitojugg3rn4ut 07:55, 25 March 2012 (CDT)
Grenades
DAMITTTTTT. Sorry about that mate. I will be more careful. Frankly I didn't know there was such thing as an Airsoft grenade... Thanks for alerting me to the mistake. :-)
While I'm writing to ya, I might as well mention the AK Gallery. I totally get what you are saying about guns like the Dragunov and will 100% defer to your judgment. I felt like it was worth putting them on the page since they look similar but if you don't think they belong, I totally understand. It's all about what will be most useful in identifying the guns. :-) --Zackmann08 11:23, 27 March 2012 (CDT)
Doom Nuke tag
I put the nuke tag due to this subsection of the rules. http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Rules,_Standards_and_Principles#Anime:_Rules_.26_Restrictions Also the page was previously deleted on the same grounds. --AdAstra2009 23:42, 30 March 2012 (CDT)
The Dark Knight
A) Seriously? You've never seen The Dark Knight? B) Yes, that is a bigger spoiler, I'd tell you more, but I don't want to spoil anything for you, C) Come on, seriously? --Funkychinaman 02:11, 5 April 2012 (CDT)
- Which is the reason why I removed the reference in the page. That particular user who wrote those captions constantly gives away important plot points for no good reason. The user has been warned. --Ben41 03:19, 5 April 2012 (CDT)
This is Glock17gen4, why was I blocked?
I have done nothing wrong, and you blocked me and reverted my edits. Here's the reason you left: "(Abusing multiple accounts: Hey there Burt, you're still banned, go away.)" My name isn't Burt, it's Danny. I tryed to use the Glock17gen4 account to contact you about this but it wouldnt allow me to leave a message on your talk page, I would like the block reverted please, as I dont know who this "Burt" is and have done nothing wrong. I really think you have me confused with someone else...PS: do you have email we can discuss this on? SaferSephiroth 20:40, 6 April 2012 (CDT)
What's all this then?
http://www.imfdb.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Bunni&redirect=no#I_need_you_or_another_admins_help.2C_my_other_account_was_blocked_wrongfully. Is this the usual suspect? bunni 17:19, 7 April 2012 (CDT)
I am not this Burt Reynolds Mustache or Person of Interest guy, please quit blocking me!
Dont you check for IPs before you make such decisions? I am not this character you think I am. Please unblock me! The only reason I changed the gun on the PD page is I was going off of what the GE 007 page said. If that wasn't right then I am sorry, I did not know. I just know all the classic guns in PD are based off Goldeneye 007's guns. I was trying to keep the page accurate, is there anything wrong with that? RugerLord 14:25, 8 April 2012 (CDT)
