Please avoid uploading files with generic file. If you're uploading files for ''Hawaii Five-0'', for example, you can name them "H50_0310_Glock_01.jpg" or something. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 01:29, 12 May 2014 (EDT) | Please avoid uploading files with generic file.

: I noticed you uploaded a bunch of screencaps for ''[[Bad Boys]]'', but they're all BdBysXX, with no indication of the firearm. You should have the weapon name fully or at least partially as part of the filename, like BdBys-SIGSauerP226-01, or even BdBys-P226-01 or something. Just BdBys01, etc, without an indicator of the weapon can be confusing. FCM has of course mentioned this above but I just wanted to remind you, hopefully before it becomes an issue.

Welcome to IMFDB
Before you do any editing please take the time to read the Rules, Standards and Principles. This is a very important document that explains how this website is setup as well as telling you what is and isn't allowed. If it is determined by an admin that you have not read these rules, your account will be suspended. Continued non-compliance may result in a permanent ban.
There are a number of pages that desperately need your help. You can find these Incomplete pages here.
If you have any questions, feel free to post them here but make sure to sign your post by typing --~~~~.
Finally, IMFDB has a forum set up here that is only available to registered members. There is lots of good stuff to see there. Please register yourself an account using the same username you used to register here.
Now, HAPPY EDITING! Zackmann08 (talk) 14:55, 8 September 2012 (EDT)
Adding screenshots
It appears that you are trying to add a screenshot to the Hawaii Five-0 page. A couple of things to remember:
1. Make sure your filenames are distinct. When adding a screenshot for tv series, it's best to add the season and episode number in the filename such as for H50 S3E15 S&W 3913 would stand for Hawaii Five 0, Season 3 Episode 15.
2. Please crop black bars off your screenshots before uploading. Fast Stone Image Viewer is good for this.
3. When adding a screenshot to the page, you need to post it with his code: [[Filename.jpg|thumb|none|500px|]]
The Rules, Standards and Principles would also be beneficial for you to look over. Thanks --Ben41 (talk) 22:11, 2 April 2013 (EDT)
- The IMFDB Style Guide also covers a lot of guidelines for new users. --Funkychinaman (talk) 23:10, 2 April 2013 (EDT)
One more thing: Please try to find higher quality sources for your screenshots, preferably HD. If this is not possible, you can make suggestions in the discussion section about what weapons are missing and I can try to find the proper screenshots. --Ben41 (talk) 22:51, 4 April 2013 (EDT)
Capturing Screenshots
How are you capturing your screenshots? They don't seem to be coming out in an optimal resolution. The IMFDB Screencapping Guide is helpful to capture good quality images. --Ben41 (talk) 03:22, 13 January 2014 (EST)
Chicago PD
You initially tried to create a page for Chicago P.D., but you didn't have any information or screenshots ready. It was subsequently deleted because of a perceived lack of effort. I've redone the page to display how a page should look when started. In the future, if you start a page, please refer to that page as an example of how to start it off. --Ben41 (talk) 20:50, 3 March 2014 (EST)
File names
Please avoid uploading files with generic file. If you're uploading files for Hawaii Five-0, for example, you can name them "H50_0310_Glock_01.jpg" or something. --Funkychinaman (talk) 01:29, 12 May 2014 (EDT)
- I noticed you uploaded a bunch of screencaps for Bad Boys, but they're all BdBysXX, with no indication of the firearm. You should have the weapon name fully or at least partially as part of the filename, like BdBys-SIGSauerP226-01, or even BdBys-P226-01 or something.
