I thought that I was simply upholding a decision that the rest of the staff had agreed to a long time ago. At the very least, I guess we should discuss the matter again in the topic - and clearly, the forum's not such a good place, since we have too many problems with spammers.

| I've been collecting S&W revolvers for several years. S&W has always been a very organized company with outstanding records. Better organized company in so many aspects. In the past couple of years I've gotten into Colt revolvers and I've learned that getting information about the various Colt handguns is very challenging. For most of it's history Colt was rather scatter-shot in it's approach. For example they would have different models use the same serial number range (Official Police and .38 spl Officer Model Target pre-WWII), but the Pre-WWII Officer Model Target .22LR had it's own serial numbers.Why? Who knows? Other models (such as the Theur derringer) would be made for decades and Colt has little to no written records about the models. For example the serial numbers will not tell you what year an individual derringer was made. And then you have the Official Police model and it's variants. Over 700,000 made over a seventy year period. Very challenging. I like the colt double action revolvers, but I can see why colt has almost gone out of business and S&W is still prospering. Hopefully Colt's fairly new management can fix things. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] 17:37, 27 December 2011 (CST)

|
| |
| == 1911 categories ==
| |
|
| |
| I think these pages are turning out well, good job. One modification that I would suggest though (for both the pages and the template) is reversing the order of the categories. I think the "Standard" guns should really go first because, as the name implies, they are the standard gun and are also probably the most common. I would put the order as "Standard", "Long", "Compact", "Subcompact". Also, I'm not sure about how the Colt variants are categorised on the template. I think they should just be split on size like the other manufacturers for a few reasons. First, it would then be a standard and look better. Secondly, the modern thing is kind of screwed up, with the 80 Combat Elite being from the same time as the regular series 80, and the National Match going back to the Series 70 guns. Also the Military/Governemnt differentiation seems a bit pointless to me, as I would imaging that most of the guns that actually appear in media are based on the civillian guns and the majority of the M1911A1 ID's are actually wrong. To be honest, I think there is a case that the M1919A1, Government and Series 70 sections could probably be merged, as they are the same gun with no visible external differences unless you get a really good look at the markings. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 16:11, 16 June 2012 (CDT)

| |
| :So how you want to do this template? Include only true AK-pattern guns (like on wikipedia), or include guns like the VSS too, which only look like AK variants, but in reality have nothing to do with that design? --[[User:Bozitojugg3rn4ut|bozitojugg3rn4ut]] 14:06, 26 June 2012 (CDT)
| |
|
| |
| I would separate them along similar lines as the AK gallers, with "Soviet manufactured Kalashnikov pattern firearms" "Foreign manufactured Kalashnikov pattern firearms" "Firearms derived from the Kalashnikov" and "Firearms visually resembling the Kalashnikov". First section would be the russian weapons, separated into assault rifles, carbines, machine guns and sniper rifles. Then next section would be split up by country. Not sure whether to split each section by weapon type or not, would need to play it by ear depending on how many you were ending up with. If not splitting by type, could put the weapon type in brackets after the name. It gets a bit tricky when you get into AK derived, and visually resembling the AK as there can be a fine line. For example, the I would put the SVD in the visually similar, as it shares no parts with the AK and has a different operating system. However the visually similar FPK/PSL is derived from the RPK, so would go in the AK derivatives section. Stuff like the Valmet (and hence the Galil and Vektor rifles) would go in the derivatives section, as although not of the AK pattern they are a modification to the design. But that's just my opinion on how it should be broken down. --[[User:Commando552|commando552]] 15:23, 26 June 2012 (CDT)

| == The Nosferatu page ==
| |
|
| |
| Hi there, I was the creator of the Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi page. I noticed that you recently nuked it and left a note saying "Creator refuses to finish . . . " I haven't abandoned the IMFDB by any means, but have been busy with real life thus far. Maybe you could tell me what specifically was wrong with it? Last I worked on the page, it was essentially complete by the IMFDB standards of the time. Have they drastically changed in the meantime? --[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] 01:13, 28 June 2012 (CDT)
| |
|
| |
| :Sure, if you tell me what's missing. I do not currently have access to the game disc right now, but at last count the page was, in my view, essentially finished--all the ingame weapons had both 3rd-person and 1st Person views, and had (where possible) references to the real-life weapons they were based on. What's missing from the page according to the IMFDB standards now? --[[User:Mazryonh|Mazryonh]] 03:39, 28 June 2012 (CDT)
| |
|
| |
| "Not getting pissed?" Thankfully, not everyone is subject to the [http://users.rider.edu/~suler/psycyber/disinhibit.html online disinhibition effect]. Courtesy and civility cost absolutely nothing to produce, have, or give, so why not give generously until you have good reason to do otherwise? And as for the weapons, what were you expecting, a [[Van_Helsing#Gas_Operated_Automatic_Crossbow|stake launcher]]? The game is (as I outlined in the wiki entry's introduction) an out-and-out homage to the silent film ''Nosferatu'', and like its parent novel ''Dracula,'' the game's weaponry is based around those used by old-fashioned vampire hunters before they became modern pop culture icons (like [[Constantine]], [[Van Helsing]], and [[Hellsing]]). The 4 firearms already listed are the only ones in the game, and you can confirm this by checking out [http://www.gamefaqs.com/pc/917976-nosferatu-the-wrath-of-malachi/faqs an FAQ] for the game or [http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2AB7C05E018CC1E6&feature=plcp a video walkthrough]. The rest of the ingame weapons are religious paraphernalia or melee weaponry, such as a Crucifix, a totally overpowered Holy Water Chalice (which you can refill by blessing a tub of water with your Crucifix), a Cane Sword, and your character's own two fists. Call it the limitations of a budget title if you want, but I think this helps to maintain the authenticity of the "old-fashioned" nature of the title, right down to the old-fashioned film grain effect and "film scratches" you can sometimes see.
| |
|
| |
| As for putting photos of the actual guns in this wiki entry, there is a small problem with that. While there is an entry for generic [[Flintlock Pistol]]s I could select a photo from, there is no equivalent entry for generic Flintlock Muskets, and the ingame one doesn't look like any of those musket entries already on the site. Could a disambiguation page that listed all the musket variants be created? Is there anything else on the laundry list of things that need to be done for this game's wiki page?

| Thanks again for teaching me how to use this site and whatnot, and for giving the tpb article another chance, it means a lot. Also, I know I've asked quite a bit of you, but if possible, can you delete my old trailer park boys files, they're messed up, and I'd rather upload them again instead of uploading a new version.[[user:tadeezy|tadeezy]] 21:38 23 July, 2012 (MST)

| Yes I will be finnishing the page whitin a couple of hours, I left it like that to have a foundation to build on. Now I have read all parts in the [[Rules, Standards and Principles]] of which I had only read a little in before, sorry about that. I didn't know you were supposed to respond on other peoples talkpage when they wrote on your's, I know now though so thanks for that.

| :I have finished cropping the screencaps now, which I knew you were supposed to do but I forgot it. So when I upplode the cropped versions should I use the same name as the old screencaps and replace them or should i upplode the new screencaps with a altered name?

| I made it wider because there was a bit of dead space underneath the picture. Plus, since the last line only had one word, there was a lot of dead space there. Do they have to be the same width? If so, I'll tweak the dimensions of the picture and the wording of the text. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 18:36, 1 August 2012 (CDT)

| Looks like the "Military Weapons List" pages were a success seeing as since the first I made for [[List of firearms used by U.S. Armed Forces|America]] was allowed to stay and not only that but now we have a page for [[List of firearms used by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation|Russia]], [[List of firearms used by British Armed Forces|England]], and [[List of firearms used by German Armed Forces|Germany]]. But if more pages like those are going to be made than should some guidelines be in place for them so that we don't have a bunch of pages for ever country in the world that has a military."[[User:Mr.Ice|Mr.Ice]] 11:46, 10 August 2012 (CDT)

| :That [[User:JDEO]] from earlier. Personally I'd have turned him down with a bio like that, the whole thing where he doesn't see why he needs to write a bio so there can't possibly ''be'' a reason and we're all morons who should bow to his greatness doesn't make me think of someone who works well with others. Also the list of generic lines including "I'm an armourer" suggests he's an old troll returning, since it's unlikely a new user would realise we have real movie armourers here.

| I was discussing it with Tim, and we're pretty certain that Julio was our old buddy Liam again. I googled the IP address that you have, and that belongs to Cloudflare. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 10:38, 17 August 2012 (CDT)

| :Cloudflare is the host, is it not? All the error messages we get come from Cloudflare. I guess you'd have to take that up with Bunni. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 10:43, 17 August 2012 (CDT)

| ::I'm puzzled too. I googled Declan's IP as well, and that came up Cloudflare as well. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 10:58, 17 August 2012 (CDT)
| |
| :::Cloudflare is a cloud service host which IIRC works as an intermediary between Bunni's server and people using the site. The problem is, the way it's currently set up everything users do goes through Cloudflare's servers; effectively, everyone is using the Cloudflare servers as proxys. Which means every single IP comes up as theirs rather than the user's real IP. That's also why we have that issue with images not updating; I think it changes on Bunni's server but the cloudflare server which actually returns the images doesn't update immediately to match.

| == Replacing Images? ==
| |
| I usally add aditional pictures to pages, not just replace them. Like in the case of the SIG-Sauer P228 image, I didn't delete the old picture on the SIG page, I only added another one there. And that picture featured a blankadapted P228 in high definition. I did however replace the that picture in some other pages featuring the SIG. Is a regular member, like myself, not aloud to ad, or use, any other reference pictures of a weapon then those that already exist here on IMFDB? In that case why is that? ([[User:Thejoker|Thejoker]] 14:53, 19 August 2012 (CDT))
| |
|
| |
| == Re Replacing Images? ==
| |
| The SIG-Sauer P228 picture is claimed by others to be inferior, look at SIGs talkpage and you'll see two places where thats claimed, that it doesn't make the P228 justice, and [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] has himself said that it's been damaged and had parts replaced and that he will replace that image whit another one himself soon, so thats good and I wont interfeare with that no more. But I uploaded a quite good picture of a blankadapted SIG-Sauer P228 and honestly I don't see the problem whit that, now [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] said that the image was of to many pixels and that it had to be repixeld if it were to be used. But you seem like you don't want me to upload anything at all, or whats the deal? ([[User:Thejoker|Thejoker]] 16:31, 19 August 2012 (CDT))
| |
| :I AM spending time on incompleate pages, like Moore's three Bondmovies in the eighties, those aren't complete and I'm trying to fix that the best I can. Fine I'll quit trying to upload a good, aditional, image of a SIG and I'll quit looking for a AKS Type III with extended stock, but I thought it would be nice to have one matching the similar photograped Type 1. Also I started by replacing Type 1 pictures whit Type III's when that was what was depicted in the movies, Isn't that of any meaning if the reference picture depict a stamped receiver while the movie features a milled one? To have a correct reference image? Well I won't argue whit you no more. ([[User:Thejoker|Thejoker]] 16:52, 19 August 2012 (CDT))
