I totally forgot that she had the same pistol in the final scene. And for the record, I only used the stainless pistols because at the time, those were the only pair of PP and P230 images that pointed to the right. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 18:33, 19 August 2012 (CDT) | I totally forgot that she had the same pistol in the final scene.

Revision as of 15:45, 21 August 2012
P228
I deleted the picture of the P228 you posted for a reason: We already have a picture of a standard P228 that we use for our pages and do not need another. Please stop trying to post it. -MT2008 21:08, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
- Again, please do not upload those pictures. Use the P228 picture we have. Our photographer goes to lots of trouble to take those pics (the ones that are ours, not jacked from the web). -MT2008 21:20, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
Fixing Mistakes
If you see an error, just fix it. If you think others might disagree with you, post the reason you made the changes on the talk page. Simply putting "it's this, not this" in the article without actually fixing it makes it look sloppy and is, to be honest, rather lazy.--PistolJunkie 20:14, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
The Dark Knight
Please reserve the main movie page for firearms-related weapons. Your section regarding the Joker's knives has been moved to discussion page. --Ben41 08:36, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
Want to deleate a uploaded file
How do I deleate a uploaded file of mine? It got wrong so I can't use it, I want to deleate it and try again. Please tell me how to deleate it/them
Files can only be deleted by mods. Just indicate which file needs to be deleted. --Ben41 14:58, 26 April 2011 (CDT)
Files: Vlcsnap-0000211.jpg/Vlcsnap-0000222.jpg/Vlcsnap-0000112.jpg and Vlcsnap-000011.jpg, These I would want to be deleated please :) also Vlcsnap-0000233.jpg
Don't use default VLC filenames
I'm having to revert a bunch of your uploads because there were already files with the same names from other people forgetting this. Always change the filename to something to do with the movie in question, and don't ever have "ignore any warnings" ticked when uploading. Evil Tim 06:57, 6 June 2011 (CDT)
- You are saving new files over images that are used on existing pages, which is basically vandalism. Stop it. Evil Tim 07:16, 6 June 2011 (CDT)
- Argh, my bad, this thing's showing me the wrong preview images for most of these. Evil Tim 07:18, 6 June 2011 (CDT)
Response to Don't use default VLC filenames
Sorry for screwing things up, please help me fix it by reverting it to the old ones, I will reupplode my images under different names from now on, Sry i did'nt know this would hapen!
- Yeah, you should never have the "ignore warnings" box ticked, you never know when someone's used the same filename for something totally different and it warns you if you're uploading over an existing file. No harm done, I just thought when you were reverting you were taking them back to your images because the thumbnails hadn't updated properly. Evil Tim 07:23, 6 June 2011 (CDT)
- Okej, well Im not very used to do this and I did'nt understand how to do correctly, but Now I know so thanks!
Batman: Year One
I would recommend against doing it due to it being animation. --Ben41 13:25, 12 October 2011 (CDT)
Screenshots
As stated in the Rules, Standards and Principles, Absolutely no screenshots of bootleg films may be uploaded. --Ben41 01:02, 1 February 2012 (CST)
Okey sorry, did'nt read that so I did'nt know that, wont do it again, thanks for the info!
RE:The Dark Knight Rises
Below is a picture a C8CQB, note the butt, proprietary A1-sights detachable carry handle, vortex flash hider and triple rail around front sight. I haven't seen the prologue but I doubt that it is a genuine C8CQB as that is I don't think it is sold to civillians. MK 18 is used as a general catch all term for 10.5" barrelled carbines with an M4 receivers. The picute you posted as a C8CQB is a weapon that is sold as a "MK 18" by Specialized Armaments. --commando552 04:43, 3 February 2012 (CST)
Okey, thanks for the information on those weapons, I've tried to find info on them but could'nt find anything on the real firearms, only soft air guns, wich i did'nt read/care about because they're usaly not so informative about the real thing, it was'nt ment to be a upnosed comment or anything, just wanted it to be the right info and description on the right picture. Thanks!
Batman Begins screenshots (Please crop black bars)
Thanks for the HD images, but you need to crop out the black bars on the top and bottom before uploading your screenshots. You can use Microsoft Picture Manager, Microsoft Paint, or Fast Stone Image Viewer to do this. Please crop and reupload your images. --Ben41 18:12, 28 February 2012 (CST)
Unlocking the Dark Knight
Before I unlock the page, could you please add one of your screenshots to the discussion page. It appears that your new shots for Batman Begins are still not completely cropped and I want to check your shots. If the page is unlocked and you do put the corrections, please state the specific reason why the handgun is a SIG PRO and not a SIG. --Ben41 20:55, 28 February 2012 (CST)
I will recropp my images again, you're right they werent compleatly cropped. I'm using GIMP and I'm not quite shure how it works, but I think I have got it now. Shure I'll post the TDK pictures on the discussionpage when I've cropped them correctly, thanks! --Thejoker
- I'm unlocking the page, but I would ask that you limit the amount of screenshots per weapon. As stated in the Rules, Standards and Principles, For a single character using a single weapon, the limit should be 7 screenshots. The page doesn't need a frame by frame analysis of every weapon of the movie. Please keep this mind and I reserve the right to remove excessive images. --Ben41 23:15, 29 February 2012 (CST)
The Democratic Terrorist
Why do you think it's a PPK? The barrel's much too long to be a PPK. --Funkychinaman 11:48, 13 July 2012 (CDT)
Because the cocked hammer is bigger then that of a SIG P230 and the overal shape looks more like a Walther.
- I can't even see the hammer. I'll see if I can get better shots. --Funkychinaman 12:04, 13 July 2012 (CDT)
Okey good.
Coq Rouge
Can you crop the black bars from your caps.? --Funkychinaman 14:41, 24 July 2012 (CDT)
Shit I forgot! Yes sorry; I will do that
- You can just upload new versions using the same file names. It won't update immediately. --Funkychinaman 18:47, 24 July 2012 (CDT)
Code Name Coq Rouge
Are you still working on the page for Code Name Coq Rouge?? If so you need to place {{WIP}} at the top of the page. You also need to fix that page asap because it doesn't currently conform the the Rules, Standards and Principles. --Zackmann08 15:34, 24 July 2012 (CDT)
Yes I'm still working on it. I have placed {{WIP}} on top now, but why? No other page I've seen has that written on them.
- Ok. Couple of things. 1) Any page that is currently being worked on should have the work in progress template on it. 2) The <nowiki> tags were only for here so that the template doesnt show up. 3) you need to sign your post. 4) when you respond to someone's post do so on their page, not your own 5) the page is severely lacking. If you are not going to fix it in the next few hours it will be deleted and finally 6) You are REQUIRED to read the Rules, Standards and Principles. It is thus far evident that you have not. --Zackmann08 18:02, 24 July 2012 (CDT)
AKS-47
Don't we already have an image of a Type 3 AKS-47? Also, the one you're adding has a bit too much white space at the top and bottom. Evil Tim 10:07, 13 August 2012 (CDT)
- Sure, try to get it so the borders are in line with the other AKS-47 images if you can. If you re-upload you'll have to change all the image sizes by 1 pixel or they won't update, unfortunately. Evil Tim 10:22, 13 August 2012 (CDT)
I think the existing T3 image is better and should be used over this one, as it is larger, and shows the right side of the weapon so is more in keeping with other gun images. Also, as this shot is from the left it hides some "Type 3" features such as the different selector switch. It is fine to have it on the AK page and I suppose to use it on pages where only the left side is seen, but I think the go to image should be the one that was already there. --commando552 11:18, 13 August 2012 (CDT)
- Quite a few of the ones you replaced (e.g. City Hunter, Nokas, Fast Five, Guns, Iron Eagle, Alarm für Cobra 11 - Die Autobahnpolizei, Navy SEALs ...) were already a picture of a Type 2 that you replaced with this smaller one though. As for how to force the thumbnaol to update, as this is a relatively small image (449 pixels) this is the largest the thumbnail can ever be, so the value you put in has to be smaller such as 448px (have done it on the AK page as an example). Also just FYI, your signature is not going to your user page as you are putting in a capital "J". It is easier if you just hit the signature button (second from the right button above the editing box) or put in four tildes (~~~~) as this will do it automatically and add a timestamp. --commando552 12:39, 13 August 2012 (CDT)
Look, much as it's nice you want to help out, that Type 3 image you're trying to upload is tiny and of distinctly lower quality. Please discuss any replacement of a widely-used gun image before actually doing it, perferrably on the article talk page. Evil Tim 12:09, 19 August 2012 (CDT)
- I'll go through them one at a time:
- "Kalashnikov-AK-assault-rifle-T3-underfolder.jpg" - Other side of a rifle we already have an image of, inferior quality.
- "AKC.jpeg" - Extremely low quality image of a weapon we already have (we don't need one with the stock unfolded if it's not going to be a very good image).
- "Replica-russian-assault-rifle.jpg" I don't really see what the difference is between this and our current AKS-47.jpg aside from that it's a lot smaller and isn't as good.
- SIG image: it's at the other end of the scale; over 1 megabyte is absurdly large for a gun image and you should re-upload it with the resolution cut in half. Post it on the talk page for the P228 first and see if there's consensus to replace it. And MPM has said he's going to replace that image now, so hold off until he posts again please.
- Also, generally you altered the image sizes by too much. You only have to change them by 1 pixel to generate a new thumbnail, and gun images are usually shown at 350-400 pixels for anything except grenades, some of them you had changed to less than that. Evil Tim 12:31, 19 August 2012 (CDT)
- I don't want you to be discouraged by this as your contributions have been positive; just please, before making big changes that affect a lot of pages, discuss it. It'll save you a lot of wasted effort in the long run, believe me. Evil Tim 12:37, 19 August 2012 (CDT)
- I'll reply to you more fully when I wake up (bedtime for me), but just to note you can auto-sign your posts by typing four tildes (~~~~) which saves a lot of effort doing it manually and also timestamps it. Evil Tim 12:51, 19 August 2012 (CDT)
SIG
The Sig image you uploaded is the same type as one licensed to this wiki by MoviePropMaster2008. We don't replace those. Evil Tim 12:09, 19 August 2012 (CDT)
- You really need to stop replacing images in general. --Zackmann08 13:57, 19 August 2012 (CDT)
- You are uploading redundant images. Pages like The Unit have been around for years and are fine. They do not need any additional images. Most of your "additions" have been undone. --Zackmann08 16:21, 19 August 2012 (CDT)
- Rather then uploading additional images to pages that already have images, what would be nice is if you could work on pages that really need work. Any page listed as Incomplete could use help. Why not work on those rather then trying to replace images. I agree that not all of these images are perfect, but they work. There are a lot of things that could use work. It would be nice to see time spent there instead. I'm not getting into a pissing match with you though. Do what you want (as long as you abide by the Rules). --Zackmann08 16:36, 19 August 2012 (CDT)

DDT
I totally forgot that she had the same pistol in the final scene. And for the record, I only used the stainless pistols because at the time, those were the only pair of PP and P230 images that pointed to the right. --Funkychinaman 18:33, 19 August 2012 (CDT)
- I'm still thinking P230. --Funkychinaman 19:10, 19 August 2012 (CDT)
Octopussy
Um, no, they're still there. Evil Tim 10:45, 21 August 2012 (CDT)
