Error

Hi, I did an error with this file: http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/File:Mabuse_dreyse_00.jpg The preview image in the article is wrong but when you click on it, it displays the right image. Please look into this. Thank you. --Wicket1138 (talk) 18:29, 18 October 2012 (EDT)

I want to keep the one with the desk. Thx. --Wicket1138 (talk) 18:44, 18 October 2012 (EDT)

Heya

You want me to archive your talk page? Also, what do you think of the work I've been doing on that other Goldeneye? It's amazing how much of the stuff on the page before was either totally wrong or only true of one version or the other. Evil Tim 09:56, 14 August 2012 (CDT)

Eh, 90 subsections is a pretty big page. I think most of the grief was because people claimed the original was next-gen graphics when actually it looks a lot like Black running on PS2. My current device is a Hauppage! (yes, with the exclaimation) HD-PVR, using component leads for input; it's completely useless for composite, mind, so I've still got my Pinnacle Dazzle if I need to record anything PS2 or earlier. It can theoretically record 1080p but it looks like ass in motion to stop you using it to copy blu-ray discs, so it's best to leave it on 720. The Hauppage one also has the advantage that it's actually designed for recording games and so has component video pass-through, so you don't have to build a snake's nest of wires and splitters to play without recording lag. Evil Tim 10:12, 14 August 2012 (CDT)

Actually I just realised the most ridiculous thing about that game: they forgot to make Dam a flashback and just have the story carry straight on after it. So Alec manages to set up the entire Janus organisation and builds a massive power station in roughly one day.Evil Tim 01:06, 15 August 2012 (CDT)

Well, it's not like EA didn't try that too (and unlike GoldenEye: Rogue Agent Activision's game actually has something to do with the original movie), it's just they tried to bring it up to date in a way that makes no actual sense. I guess it's because it was written by a Hollywood screenwriter who wasn't used to the games industry's alarming tendency to accept first script drafts (the co-writer of the original movie script, apparently) because it has all the signs of a script which hasn't had enough editorial work done on it; from the aformentioned turbo-terrorism to forgetting to give Alec the scar the entire Janus group is named after to Ourumov stealing an EMP-hardened helicopter when he already has one. Evil Tim 08:54, 15 August 2012 (CDT)

KillerUzi

Eh, he's not going to magically become a decent human being in six months, I've made it infinite. Evil Tim 20:23, 16 August 2012 (CDT)

And it turns out all of the were Liam. Fancy that. Evil Tim 08:23, 17 August 2012 (CDT)

Yeah, but he remembers that whole "Jamal pick my cotton" thing from back when Liam went nuts and started e-stalking Excalibur after the Killzone page was deleted. He's insulting Zackmann for giving him a new account after we banned the other two last night and that one he used earlier. Evil Tim 08:42, 17 August 2012 (CDT)

Naw, I think it's just the same guy it always was. Liam always made useless pages, that's why he was banned originally. So he loses two accounts he's "contributing" with, digs out an old one he remembered the password for, then has to register a new one. Insulting Zachmann is because he totally beat us by being mildly inconveniant for a few minutes.

I've modded a site with about ten thousand active members (not saying which :D), and I can tell you for free: people do get this weird and obsessive about having a right to be there even though all they do is make a mess when they actually have that "right." We had one guy posting spam dozens of accounts a day for hours at a time, for most of a year. Evil Tim 08:59, 17 August 2012 (CDT)

Anyway, I have to go to sleep now, so keep an eye out. Evil Tim 09:09, 17 August 2012 (CDT)

I think the most likely answer is that Gunner95 isn't the same guy, and is just a completely different idiot (it's not like the world is experiencing a shortage) with the similarities being coincidental. Or it's just one of his many personalities. Either way, I wouldn't bother unbanning Gunner95 to find out. In other news, playing GoldenEye I've realised the most ridiculous firearm-related thing is that Bond has to draw his weapon when breaching doors. So, um, he holsters his weapon, kicks open a door to a room full of armed men, and then tries to pull it back out. And with anything but a pistol does it so slowly that the bad guys are already shooting at him by the time he can fire.

I just get the image of the guards standing there looking embarassed for him as Daniel Craig bursts in dramatically and starts struggling with a carry strap tangled around his arm or something. Anyway, off to bed. Evil Tim 09:25, 17 August 2012 (CDT)

Spam

So spam has dramatically decreased lately as a result of the new system put in place by Bunni but we still have the occasional jerk who gets through. For future reference, if anyone does start doing stuff like our pal Weston1911 did, will you message me? I am compiling a "blacklist" that includes the e-mail and IP the user used when they registered. It will help prevent them from registering in the future. Thanks man! --Zackmann08 10:33, 17 August 2012 (CDT)

Ok. Explain something to me... WTF is CloudFare?!?!?! I keep seeing that with IP addresses on the forum! --Zackmann08 10:39, 17 August 2012 (CDT)

Gotcha. I just don't get how a user gets an IP address from CloudFare and not from their own computer... Weirdddd --Zackmann08 10:55, 17 August 2012 (CDT)

BAHAHAHAHAH!!! That Biography reads like it was written by a third grader... LOVE IT! I can't believe this is the same brat who kept trying to make a page for "The House on Creepy Lane".... UGHHHH. Thanks for the info. --Zackmann08 22:41, 18 August 2012 (CDT)

No kidding... --Zackmann08 23:59, 18 August 2012 (CDT)

You were right to ban that ten year old

Brilliant detective work. I think there should be a LOWER age limit. "Violent Shit"? "The House on Creepy Lane?" How on earth did this kid get his short films listed on IMDB?? The mods must have been asleep that day. Wasn't there a link to a film that was basically RUSSIAN elementary school kids acting some sort of story with airsoft guns? I wonder if you remember that. best regards MoviePropMaster2008 01:13, 19 August 2012 (CDT)

Even though Violent Shit and Zombie Panic 90 were purportedly full length features, there is NO WAY a feature length film made by a 10 year old would qualify under our current criteria. It would be near impossible. It would have to be distributed by someone OTHER than the film's maker and there is no way a 10 year old could make something that was deemed professional enough to merit inclusion. My comment about the lower age limit, was just sarcasm. I agree that it would be hard to enforce. We just have to be wary of any new member that seems really young. At least this guy was honest about his age. The fact that he was born AFTER 9/11 means he has never known a world without Usama Bin Laden and his ilk MoviePropMaster2008

BTW, there is a restriction in Privacy policy: "Our site is not directed to children under the age of 13". So any membership of 10 years old (regardless of his behavior) is a violation of rules, right? Greg-Z 12:41, 19 August 2012 (CDT)

Hmmmmm. Good catch Greg-Z. I am certainly intrigued by this idea. Also to Funkychinaman, Thanks for the update. I didn't know what these movies were, and I'm not ashamed to say I've never seen them (which is saying a lot). There are a lot of films distributed by low rent direct to video types (like Sub Rosa) which I'm not thrilled to include. BTW, Funkychinaman do you remember the link to the movie in the snow with the assault rifles made by the Bulgarian kids? I was laughing so hard when I saw that, and then it was gone.... 15:18, 20 August 2012 (CDT)

Under 13s

It's a legal thing, if I recall correctly; below a certain age a site effectively has a requirement to babysit users, which is why most sites which have account registration won't take accounts by anyone under 12 (most TOSes have a clause like that). Evil Tim 12:58, 19 August 2012 (CDT)

I'd ask Bunni, he's the one who'd be dealing with any legal issues after all. Evil Tim 13:01, 19 August 2012 (CDT)

Expendables 2: Videogame

My bad. Thanks for correcting my mistake. --Zackmann08 16:22, 19 August 2012 (CDT)

The Democratic Terrorist

Hi Funkychinaman! I've now uploaded some quite good quality pictures of the gun used by Monica in TDT (DDT). I still honestly can't say if it's a PPK, that I belived before, and do a bit now to, or a SIG-Sauer P230. I've also uploaded two new pictures of a P230 on it's discussion page, it's the two latter ones, they are blued. On those pictures an older SIG is pressented and that might be what Monica's gun is, based on the slide serrations. But please look and think for you're self, as two minds is better than one! (Thejoker)

Re 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)

Well do you still think its a SIG-Sauer P230 and not a Walther PPK? If you do I think so I think we should go with it on the page. Thejoker 18:53, 19 August 2012 (CDT)

Heroes & Generals

I have the key to the Beta Test. I play this game for 2 weeks.--MTOOO 06:30, 22 August 2012 (CDT) :)

This game is really good. I would recommend in the future.--MTOOO 06:49, 22 August 2012 (CDT)

S&W M1

The funny thing was I was about to post the same thing on your Discussion page... --Zackmann08 10:36, 24 August 2012 (CDT)

"Go Tell the Spartans" Mauser identification.

In the first pic the Old Man is definitely holding a Gewehr 98. It sill has the large Lange-Visier rear sight and the bolt handle is at the rear of the receiver, rather than in the middle as on the M71/84. The second pic could be a M71/84; the front sight looks right and the stock appears to contain a tubular magazine. The third pic looks like a Mosin-Nagant 91/30, with the long spacing between the two barrel bands and what looks like the "dog collar" sling loops going through the stock. It might also be a Lebel 1886, but the stock bulging downward as it nears the receiver makes me think Mosin. I think these are probably continuity errors. I really wish we could see the receiver better. I hope this helps.

Thanks for help!

Once again I want to thank you for help. When I have problems with identification, your help is very valuable. Greg-Z 01:16, 28 August 2012 (CDT)

Re: Update

Yes. I had totally forgot about the existence of the page. I still got the screencaps on my PC. But it'll take some time to get it done, I've got a couple of pages on queue right now, and I'm currently on leave from the army. Altough, I'm going back today, our leisure time is limited. I'll do my best to get it finished soon. Best Regards, --Warejaws 08:17, 28 August 2012 (CDT)

'Redirects in 'Elephant White'

Hi, sorry to get back to you so late but I don't have the luxury to check/edit IMFDB on a very regular basis. On my TalkPage you said you put 'redirects' in the page for Elephant White that I created, and asked me to do the same. Stupid question maybe, but what exactly do you mean here? Pardon my ignorance but I value your experience on these matters, --PeeWee055 15:27, 29 August 2012 (CDT)

Sorry, I forgot I already had some screenshots for the movie. I don't think I got everything. --Ben41 22:49, 3 September 2012 (CDT)

Some Updates

When you have a minute, check out the new documentation for the Banner templates. Also, something you might be able to help me with. We need to move everything from the Templates category to the Template category. Categories are not supposed to be plural. Thanks man! --Zackmann08 (talk) 13:24, 6 September 2012 (EDT)

RE:Beat me to it.

I think this guy needs to be kept an eye on, as that Italian he used is suspiciously exactly what comes out of Google translate if you put in the English text so I have a slight suspicion it may be someone pretending to be Italian just to mess stuff up. --commando552 (talk) 12:38, 27 September 2012 (EDT)

Graphic screen

What is "graphic screencaps"? "The back of someone's head blowing out would certainly qualify as graphic." - this sentence is not a compiler able to translate clearly. It sounds as " some of blowing the nape of the head".--Pandolfini (talk) 14:46, 18 October 2012 (EDT)Oh - you mean Peter Coyot!

My way of typing.

My apologies, but I type this way to save time. ESPECIALLY when I'm doing something that requires more time than usual. E.G: playing at the final level of a video game thats the toughest than all the other levels. (I usually have a hard time beating levels at the climax of games). People on YouTube do this all the time.--Gunnerboy (talk) 20:43, 18 October 2012 (EDT)

The Border

I lost most of my movies including "The Border" recently so I got nothing to get screens from. And noone else is interested so I guess its fair enough to delete the article. If I find a HD quality of the movie I'll take and post screens to the article. Dudster32 (talk) 16:59, 7 November 2012 (EST)

Farscape

Hello, I wanted to start the article about the TV series Farscape. When I tried to create this article I got the following warning: "Warning: You are recreating a page that was previously deleted. BEFORE you recreate this page, please check with an ADMIN and make sure you understand WHY the page was deleted. Recreating a page that was deleted by simply placing the same text is forbidden and can result in being banned from editing on the wiki." -Wicket1138 (talk) 22:13, 15 November 2012 (EST)

Thx for your reply. Yes, there are real firearms in Farscape. They used Australian made L1A1 rifles for alien soldiers in one episode, which also have two real armored cars the Australian forces use and several episodes are actually set on earth where they have real firearms. -Wicket1138 (talk) 01:49, 16 November 2012 (EST)

Monika's Gun

Sorry if I can't let it go but I still think Monika's gun in The Democratic Terrorist is a Walther PPK, I've added my observations and explanations to the talk page so will you please read them and look at it and tell me what you think about it. Thejoker (talk) 16:28, 11 December 2012 (EST)

Well about the Walther P5, if you look closely on that screencap you might see that the front of that gun appear to have the same shape as that of a P5, sort of like a triangular shape up to the barrel. Don't you agree? I'm interested in what you think. Also have you read the new stuff I wrote about Monika's pistol on the talk page with the pictures and explanations of why I see it as a PPK, what do you think about it? Thejoker (talk) 18:57, 11 December 2012 (EST)

Now I have put up variants of the pictures that point out the details of the gun/guns in the pictures with colored lines, I hope you can spot them now. It's furthest down on the entry "Monika's Pistol". Do you see it now? Thejoker (talk) 20:46, 11 December 2012 (EST)

Can you see the details I pointed out in the new photos with Monika's guns? Thejoker (talk) 16:16, 12 December 2012 (EST)

Okey, yea outside opinions are probably a good thing, well tell me when you've got their opinion. Thejoker (talk) 05:06, 13 December 2012 (EST)

I haven't thought about it or seen it before and I CAN'T say that a can definatly see it now, but if I watch closely on this picture there might be an allusion to a safety/decocker on the slide there, but I'm not shure because the image isn't clear/sharp enough.

Have you heard any outside opinins yet? What does other people think? Thejoker (talk) 11:37, 17 December 2012 (EST)

Okey, well then we'll, or rather I'll, just wait until others take a look at it then. Sorry for being so persistent, hope you're not compleatly sick of me yet. Also I'm about to start work on the next Hamilton movie/filmation, Enemy's Enemy (Fiendens Fiende). Thejoker (talk) 15:44, 17 December 2012 (EST)

Too Soon?

As seen in the recent changes page Im preparing to make a page for the movie "Higher Learning". While the film has themes of neo-nazism, and the like (which several other movies on the site have) there is a scene where a school shooting takes place. I was wondering if the page should be held off for a while due to the tragedy in Connecticut since some might say it would be too soon for a page with a similar event. I will still upload photos but if it is decided that it is too soon then I will save the progress I have made into notepad and make the page at a later date.Mr.Ice (talk) 22:27, 16 December 2012 (EST)

Spambots

I'm not sure if this is what they try to do, but always blank the "content was..." section of the edit summary so it doesn't re-post their link in recent changes. Evil Tim (talk) 02:59, 18 December 2012 (EST)

RE: Red Heat

I do understand the weapon was discussed on the Red Heat discussion page but clearly the gun is not a S&W 66 its not even a .357!

RE: Incomplete

I would love to complete Razorback and The Collector. However, I do not own copies of them. I will try to obtain copies eventually, but I need to start saving money as I am going to be starting my second semester of my freshman year of college in January.

Blackthorn, I pretty much got everything I.D.'d, except for the unknowns. I believe the Bolivian boy is using a Colt 1878 Double Action, and the other revolver is a Colt Lightning. And the Bolivian Army's rifle is, I am assuming, the vz. 24 rifle or FN Model 1924 short rifle. But I don't really want to speculate as the article's screencaps are the best ones I got. And I do not want to go and, pardon my French, "half-ass" it by just putting up a firearm that looks like a "close enough match", and wait for a more knowledgable user to go and update the page for me.

I'll go and make the changes though. - User:1morey December 26, 2012 8:23 PM (EST)

Return from the River Kwai

Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen - Mauser Identification

Wow, this is a tough one to ID. It appears to be a Chinese M1907 Mauser. These were originally chambered in a proprietary 6.8x58mm Chinese cartridge. These rifles were manufactured in Germany and China. When WW1 broke out the Germans seized all M1907 rifles still in the country and re-barrelled them for 7.9x57mm Mauser.--Stomper (talk) 15:08, 30 December 2012 (EST)

You should stop, there's some really weird stuff in there. :D Evil Tim (talk) 02:51, 10 January 2013 (EST)

To be honest I wouldn't mind adding a little section at the end of actor pages just to list other works they've contributed to for the sake of completeness and giving full credit; IIRC the rule exists to stop, say, an actor list getting clogged with every weapon in an FPS even though the actor probably never handled any of them (same with mocap where the weapons are usually plastic replicas (Uncharted III) or crude frames (Battlefield 3)), but I don't think a little "name of work" - "role" - "character" table would be a terrible thing to have (eg Chow Yun-Fat would have Stranglehold - Voice acting, motion capture - Inspector "Tequila" Yuen).

"Did you consider that page complete?" Of course not, but I planned on creating a bare bones type of page, to which other people who saw the mini could add on.

It's on YouTube, if you're interested. --KLange (talk) 04:56, 19 January 2013 (EST)

Some pages from Incomplete category

Hi! I have examined Incomplete category (searching for the pages that I'll be able to complete), and it seems to me that there are several pages that look complete and can be removed from Incomplete. Here is the list of these pages. Maybe you will have a little time to look on them and make a decision: 1968 Tunnel Rats; All Quiet on the Western Front (1930); Escape to Witch Mountain; Infestation; Machine Gun Preacher; One in the Chamber; Outrage; Over the Edge; Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides; Race to Witch Mountain; Reform School Girls; Road, The; Texas Killing Fields; Transporter 2; Winter's Bone. Greg-Z (talk) 01:08, 21 January 2013 (EST)

Thank you for clarification. It's a pity that so much pages are still incomplete, but I now understand clearly why they are in this category. Greg-Z (talk) 02:03, 21 January 2013 (EST)

Skyfall

Got those shots up; can't say I have any idea what it is, but it does very closely match the best image we have from the movie and it looks bulky enough to be built around a real weapon action.

Also to elaborate on what I said there; you fight Patrice in an empty, unfurnished office with glass dividers, but the glass doors are indestructible. Since they only give you the P99 (which is, you know, totally the right thing to do when there's an actual PPK model in the game) you spend most of your time ducking around an indestructible door firing off entire magazines at him while he either shoots at you from ten yards away with a laser-sighted sniper rifle or throws grenades at you, seemingly ignoring the glass dividers to do so.

I'm going to be putting the first part of the Goldfinger mission up on my Youtube channel soon because it's hilariously awful. The melee gimmick has to be seen to be believed. Evil Tim (talk) 11:18, 22 January 2013 (EST)

Incompletes

Well, I think that somebody has to complete such pages. :) It's a pity to see them in such condition, so I do what I can. I'm working now on Shadow Man which is also in poor condition. Greg-Z (talk) 00:05, 23 January 2013 (EST)

Page creation

Hi there, thanks for your remark, good point. I guess the way I do this the way I do it, is simply that I just hate to see movie pages with links in 'red', usually these are pages where people don't follow through with what they have started. As you guessed correctly, I first prepare all links and when I put the movie-page online, it's all nice and clean from the start. Good point about saving time through suggestions though, I will take care to reverse my actions from my next movie, --PeeWee055 (talk) 14:32, 26 January 2013 (EST)

Thanks for the encouraging remark about the red links. Thing is that I feel that if you create a page on IMFDB you don't leave loose ends and also correctly complete the 'boring' work like actor/gun pages. Anyway, guess that's the Wiki aspect of the whole thing :-), --PeeWee055 (talk) 15:09, 26 January 2013 (EST)

AKS

I put this on Zackmann08s discussion page but I haven't got any answer, maybe he has not read it yet I don't know. So now I ask you as you are also an administrator. May this picture and information be added to the main AK-47 page? The picture is of what was officially designated as a Облегченный 7,62-мм автомат Калашникова со складным прикладом (АКС), translated to Lightweight 7.62 mm automatic Kalashnikov with a folding stock (AKS), and what is referred to in the West as an AK-47 Type III.

Here is a picture from some old Russian manual or document showing the full stock version called simply Облегченный 7,62-мм автомат Калашникова (АК).

Zulu Dawn

Hi there, good to see you again. NV is indeed something Dutch, it means something like 'Limited' and describes a legal way a company is organized. Being Dutch, I was checking the category 'Dutch produced' and I removed this movie because in my view there's nothing 'Dutch' to it. The only Dutch connection is probably for tax reasons or something. However, checking the Style Guide, I noticed I was wrong, so I will make that movoe again 'Dutch' no matter how strange that seems to me as a Dutch person. Sorry, --PeeWee055 (talk) 03:22, 30 January 2013 (EST)

Yup, The Outsider had me wondering as well. Let's just go with the 'production rule-of-thumb', even if it's not perfect. After all, it's about the guns, right? Take care, --PeeWee055 (talk) 16:05, 30 January 2013 (EST)

Real guns in movies?

You use in the U.S. real functional guns in movies? For us it was formerly under the communists, too. Today, but that's not allowed. Then there was the Army Film and they had a special permit. In the current legislation, are allowed to holding of guns only for the police, soldiers (automatic weapons then never individually, only under command) and persons with special permission (never automatic!), which the filmmakers are not. Therefore For us it is not possible, that the boy home took a submachine gun and went to shoots the whole school.--Pandolfini (talk) 05:04, 7 February 2013 (EST) Certainly he's right, these replicas may fires, but can not use live ammunition. O.K. Funky, I changed this problematic screenshot. It is nonsense, according to him drive because true that nearly what part, he uses another replica with another extraction. There would then be only chaos.--Pandolfini (talk) 17:37, 7 February 2013 (EST)

BTW: Leon is here no as "The Professional", but "Leon: The Professional". It is unnecessary duplicated information. Year after all given in parentheses after each title.--Pandolfini (talk) 18:10, 8 February 2013 (EST) This is cleverly done!

Widescreen 600px

I thought it was accepted that High Quality screencaps for Widescreen films in the "2.35 to 1", "1.85 to 1" or "16x9" aspect ratio get only up to 600px. "Square" 4x3 aspect ratio gets up to 500px depending on the quality of the screencap. --Ben41 (talk) 19:21, 10 February 2013 (EST)

I believe it probably should stay at 600px to avoid any confusion and that the fact that the majority of the widescreen films on the site only go up to 600px. Typically, non 2.35 to 1 films were given 500px, but with the advent of more HD and Blu-ray caps, bumping up to 600px was logical. You mentioned in the forum that 700px makes non HD widescreen films appear to be lower in resolution and I agree. There are rare exceptions for films that were shot in an ultra widescreen format like Cinerama (such as How the West Was Won or Battle of the Bulge). --Ben41 (talk) 19:45, 10 February 2013 (EST)\

If you don't have any objection I'm gonna remove the section about the guns in the novel as it doesn't teally fit in, it looks wierd.

I believe it's on the far left side of the display. There's a flintlock rifle and a revolver there as well.

Colt New Line

Hi Funckychinaman. You linked Belgian Bulldog Pocket Revolver (a red link for the moment) in the Rachel McAdams page. This is ok since the gun appears in the 2009 Sherlock Holmes film. I think the .32 Bulldog was an English gun, not Belgian, but that's not the point. The point is that, I guess, a red link allows the creation of the corresponding article.... and the link Colt New Line was red before I've created it (and even before I've created my IMFDB account). Indeed, the gun is listed and linked (with its corresponding photogram) in the article refering to the Deadwood television series (please, check "Colt New Line" in the Deadwood article and let me point out that the link Colt New Line and the mention of the gun were not due to my own action, they already existed before my arrival on this wiki). The caliber configuration in the Deadwood episode is the .22, so I find it's ok if you delete the article about the .38 caliber configuration (that one, and please, note that it was not created by me), but the article about the gun itself, Colt New Line, should be created since it is linked in the article about the Deadwood TV series, where it can be seen on screen. Regards. Kintaro (talk) 09:01, 2 March 2013 (EST)

Ok then, roger roger :). I've created the apropriated link, here, and I added it to the corresponding line in the Colt's Manufacturing Company article. Now, if you agree, I suggest to delete this and this, since they are non-suitable pages. Cheers! Kintaro (talk) 23:12, 4 March 2013 (EST)

Re: Total Recall

I'm doing the page, and the shots are, even though hi-res, from trailers. I'm re-uppin' them to keep consitency over the images of the page, ie. so that if one picture doesn't have a blue stint, the others don't have that too. I always do that, no matter what page, if there are trailer shots from ages ago, i reupload them. Look at Paul's history, same thing. Like you once said, there needs to be consistency on the database, and I think that needs to be the case with the pages, too. --Warejaws (talk) 12:09, 10 March 2013 (EDT)

Adding a Swedish named film (featuring non-english characters)

Hey! I want to add an entry for a 1979 cult Swedish movie named "Repmånad", which is roughly translated as "(army) refresher course". In Sweden we used to have a system of yearly conscription which saw thousands of people drafted and trained every year for a 7-15 month military service period. This movie is a sort of parody on the required month of "refresher training" those former conscripts had to do several years after their discharge from the army. The problem is, I dont know if I should create an article with the original Swedish name of the movie: "Repmånad", as it contains a swedish unique (Å) letter. A further problem is I also dont know of an English translation of "Repmånad"...So what do you think? Should I try and find an alternative translation or can I use a Swedish one? Dudester32 15:53, 11 March 2013 (EDT)

I had never seen the IMDB version until now. I think I can make it work with "The Callup" as a primary article name, with "Repmånad" as a redirect. Dudester32 16:10, 11 March 2013 (EDT)

Roger that! Too bad there isnt a bluray version out yet, but I'll make do with the DVD version! Thanks for yer help dude! Dudester32 16:44, 11 March 2013 (EDT)

How come some of the pages I've created aren't in their categories. Like when I'm not logged in I don't see the page that I made in the categories sections.

Spy Who Loved Me

Hi, wanted to consult you about something. After looking around for a while I've started to think that Jaws revolver could be an 1970s model (Tapered barrel and no ejector shroud) Charter Arms Bulldog in caliber .357 with a 6 inch. But I've checked around and I'm a bit confused. Wikipedia says that the Bulldog only had barrel lengths of either 2.5 or 2.2 inches but I've found pictures of Bulldogs with 6 inch barrels. I know Wikipedia isn’t to be trusted but still. Also, do you know the difference between the Bulldog and the Target Bulldog models. If the Target Bulldog was the ones made available with 6 inch barrels it might be that model. What do you think? --Thejoker (talk) 08:13, 19 March 2013 (EDT)

I don't know if their the same I just assumed that. But they appear to be~the same based on their overall shape and appearance. The only other revolver type I've found that has a similar shape in the frame as Jaws revolver, maybe even more so than the Bulldog actually, is some of the make Astra. But they all appear to have shrouded ejector rods and none of the ones I've found have tapered barrels and that style of front sight. --Thejoker (talk) 11:23, 19 March 2013 (EDT)

His revolver does actually have a LOT in common with an Astra .357 Magnum revolver. See this link:

[[1]]

The only thing that's of is the front sight and that the ejector rod on Jaws revolver appears to be only semi-shrouded if you understand what I mean. Maybe (it’s possible, and I don't know the reason for such a modification) they had sawed or filed away the part of the shroud that covered the ejector rod on the sides but kept the front of it. --Thejoker (talk) 11:39, 19 March 2013 (EDT)

Okey, no I haven’t but I'll do that right now, thanks very much for the tip!

Another thing, the shape of the muzzle of Sandor's gun as he's about to shoot doesn't look like the muzzle of a M1911A1. I don't know what it is, maybe a Colt Model 1903/1908 or a FN Browning 1903, but as you can only see the muzzle I don't know. But a M1911A1 it ain’t. Ideas? --Thejoker (talk) 12:12, 19 March 2013 (EDT)

Here's a link to a photo of the muzzle of a Pocket Hammerless in .32 acp and a photo of Sandor's gun, do you think look think they could be the same? --Thejoker (talk) 12:35, 19 March 2013 (EDT)

Original language title in parentheses necessary?

Is it really necessary to have the original language in parentheses for such movies as Code Name Coq Rouge (Täcknamn Coq Rouge), Olsen Gang, The (Olsen-banden), Olsen Gang Runs Amok, The (Olsen-banden går amok), Olsen Gang in Jutland, The (Olsen-banden i Jylland), Olsen Gang in a Fix, The (Olsen-banden på spanden), and Last Exploits of the Olsen Gang, The (Olsen-bandens sidste bedrifter)? The English titles are an exact translate of the original language title just like in other movies like Democratic Terrorist, The where the english title is used alone. I mean it just makes the titles extremely long and when you search for them you have to put in the whole name to come directly to the page. --Thejoker (talk) 09:34, 19 March 2013 (EDT)
