Revision as of 21:16, 11 April 2012
you are welcome :)
а я в субботу планировал Белое солнце оформлять. Придется значит Чапаевым заняться I planned create a page for White Sun of the Desert in saturday. So I'll work on Chapaev. Bednardos - 26 October 2011
- Sorry :(
Извини, что обогнал... На ближайшее время у меня планов на выкладку фильмов нет, так что надеюсь не мешать. :)Excuse me... I have no plans on creating pages for nearest time so I'll not cross your way. Greg-Z 04:20, 27 October 2011 (CDT)- glad I was helpful. I like those French police movies. Sorry I don't know Russian. --Jcordell 10:00, 3 November 2011 (CDT)

Posters
Great work on the Russian movies. Is there ANY way you can get better POSTERS? DO you have the DVDs? Can you scan the DVD cover art? It is frustrating to have smaller resolution posters for Russian Cinema. MoviePropMaster2008 02:02, 16 November 2011 (CST)
- Thank you! I'll try to continue this work. I used old cinema posters taken mostly from Wikipedia and IMDB because "Rules, Standards and Principles" says that posters are better then DVD covers. And yes, they are mostly of poor quality. I'll try to upload DVD covers in addition to posters where it's possible. Greg-Z 02:16, 16 November 2011 (CST)
Hi from Motherland!
Could you send a test-letter to my E-mail: 4125047@gmail.com
- I need in your advice Flexo 15:11, 22 November 2011 (CST)
Plans exchange
Good evening, comrade. I'm added two films in my nearest planes: Nayti i obezvredit and Voroshilovskiy strelok. Also we can use e-mail and communicate in our native languages on it. My e-mail is bednar@rambler.ru. Bednardos 12:55, 24 November 2011 (CST)
- Good evening! Thanks, I'll e-mail. Greg-Z 13:04, 24 November 2011 (CST)
Mosin-Nagant rifle
Thank you for finishing the table for the Mosin-Nagant page. In the future, please add weapons to pages using this table format. --Ben41 03:47, 8 December 2011 (CST)
- Glad to be helpful. I'll make the table on Mosin-Nagant page for TV and games. Greg-Z 04:21, 8 December 2011 (CST)
Actor pages
It's good you create Russian actor pages. Just some reminders. Just like you did with Nikolai Yeryomenko, Jr. Remember to post whether or not an actor are still alive (if dead then they must have their death date on the page and be categorized in the DECEASED ACTOR category). If they died too early to be old age, then we should try to list what their cause of death was. We've slipped a bit in the past, since we're supposed to do that as a tribute to their careers. And I've noticed a lot of pages which don't do that. I will also try to update as many as I can when I have the time. Also if possible we try to get a good ACTOR style headshot for their actor page in addition to a shot of them with a gun :) Thanks again. It's harder for us to know the biographies of the Soviet actors, their info is usually in Russian.....MoviePropMaster2008
- Hi, usually it's not a good idea to respond on your own talk page. No one will actually look at it and may only notice it if they are replying to something (good thing you copied it to my talk page). Answer to question 1: Usually we want a screencap that we have HERE on IMFDB to showcase the actor with a weapon. The only time we use a promotional still if for some reason we cannot get a decent shot showing both the actor AND the gun. Promotional stills which don't show gun usage aren't allow, unless it is a headshot for the actor. The only times we use actor promotional head shots is (a) when the actor is not a super well known international star and he/she is rather hard to identify in a movie or (b) when they are deceased. Deceased actors get special attention. Their birth dates and death dates are noted on their pages. They are allowed a NICE headshot which does not require a gun in it, as a result of them being deceased. Usually we try to have a short 'write up' or summary of how or when they died. if an actor is not that well known, we sometimes give a brief description of them (especially if they are a character actor or someone famous for something else (like a singer)). But that's to help people know a little more about them if they are not that famous. :) Hope this helps. (2) We don't like links to other pages ... yet. Perhaps if Bunni can arrange some sort of payment from these sites for the traffic we send their way. LOL. Either way, we try to be self contained, but try out the links if you think they are important. I'd like to see what you come up with. But be sure to let me know on my talk page when you want me to check out something. best regards MoviePropMaster2008 00:54, 27 December 2011 (CST)
When you convert to tables
Remember that the names of the genres always default to the next highest order when it comes to "lines". Don't be distracted by the many pages that do it the wrong way, they eventually have to be changed.
So if a gun has 'video games' as the only table, the title of the table is:
==Video Games==
not
===Video Games===
Thanks. Hope this makes sense. It is hard to describe something with wiki codes. MoviePropMaster2008 01:23, 28 December 2011 (CST)
Sergey/Sergei
IMDb does lots of things that I don't agree with (Asian names, for example) but it's the standard that we're told to go with. --Funkychinaman 14:01, 29 December 2011 (CST)
- Translating names is always a bit weird. The one that always comes to mind is Joseph/Josef/Iosef Stalin. Muhammad/Mohammed also comes to mind. In Russian, are all Sergei/Sergey's supposed to just be "Sergei?" How do we know he just doesn't spell it differently, like Alan/Allen/Allan? --Funkychinaman 14:20, 29 December 2011 (CST)
Quick grammar lesson
Not trying to be a jerk, but you could use some grammar help. It's "he readies the weapon"(with an ies) or "he is readying the weapon", not "he is reading the weapon" To ready a weapon is to get it prepared, you read a book.
Rather than a shootout in the snows, it's a shootout in the snow.
Instead of "he is firing weapon X', try "he fires weapon X", or "he opens fire with weapon X". Same thing with shoot/shoots.
One character fires (with an s), multiple characters fire (without the s)
English grammar is weird, but here's hoping you can improve.--Mandolin 19:31, 26 January 2012 (CST)
Any chance of putting a synposis on the Russian movie pages?
Since most of us have not seen a lot of the Soviet era movies, could you put a brief plot synopsis, mentioning some of the major characters (and the actors who play them) so that we have an idea what the movie is about? Thanks. It would increase interest in the film if we knew more about what the story was. MoviePropMaster2008 23:42, 26 January 2012 (CST)
A request I did on the forum
Don't know if you are on the forums for IMFDB yet. But here it is. I copied it here for your talk page.
- Since we have an influx of Russian IMFDB members, I have a favor to ask. Until recently I was going to fly to Russia (on business and while there take some pics of Russian weapons. ) But that project fell apart and I sure am not going to fly all the way over there just for that.
- We, (in the U.S.) have provided lots of high resolution photographs of the weapons available here.
- I was hoping if any of our Russian members can photograph or acquire high resolution pics of Russian weapons. It's a hell of a lot easier when you live there.
- Our listing of Russian weapons (those that are not commonly owned or sold here in the United States), have many terrible pictures. They are low resolution (sometimes B&W) pics taken from some manual somewhere.
- Can any of you Russian IMFDB members help out the site and contribute good quality pics of Russian weapons? It would be very much appreciated.
- Hope this doesn't call on deaf ears
- Thanks.
Let me know if you or anyone you know can help with this. MoviePropMaster2008 02:04, 31 January 2012 (CST)
Re: MCM
Hi. The MCM is listed on Izhmekh's website: here and as far as I know Izhmash does not give a crap about handguns, especially in .22 cal. Wikipedia also mentions only Izhmekh. Maybe Izhmash also offered it in the past (doubt it tho), but Izhmekh definitely does it now. - bozitojugg3rn4ut 06:48, 31 January 2012 (CST)
