Band of Brothers

Thanks for inserting information onto the page such as characters, situations, episodes, etc. It looks much more cleaned up now! Speakeasy804 19:45, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

U571

Thanks for the screencaps. Just a reminder. Be sure to identify who is on screen and what they are doing in the shot. Also identify which actors used which guns. That is really important information for the individual actor's pages. MoviePropMaster2008 06:31, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Excellent! Great work! Thanks! MoviePropMaster2008 08:35, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi

Hey, Ben,

Great work on all the screencaps and contributions you've so far, but I must insist that you try to follow format:

  • (1.) Always include gun pictures along with the screencaps from the movie.
  • (2.) Always make sure you link to the gun pages.

If you want to save time, you can just go to a page for another movie in which the same gun appears, and copy and paste the code from that page to save time. If I'm doing a page for a movie that has a SIG-Sauer P226, for example, I will just go to a page that has the same gun (like Air Force One), copy the entry, and then change the code as needed. It's a good habit to get into, and it's important for this site's completeness and cohesion.

Thanks, and again, great work so far. -MT2008 19:36, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Hey Ben

I was wondering if i could redo your page for Rules of Engagement. I dont want to step on any toes, but with your permission, I'll make it look real pretty. :) -Winchester

If you want redo the descriptions, that's fine. I just pretty much did the screen caps. Ben41 14 Oct 2009

Your screencaps are too big

Gorgeous work on the Dark Knight Blu-ray pics .... BUT ... 1925 pixels across?!?!?! 925KB sized files?!?!?!?! These MUST be shrunk down in that the original size won't be looked at full resolution anyway and they are taking up way too much space. Have you noticed how long it takes for these images to be loaded when clicking on the page? I know that some of our veteran members (and mods) sometimes upload gigantic images, but I think yours are now the biggest on the site. Please make them smaller to allow quick loading of your page. Thanks. MoviePropMaster2008 14:08, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

I'll make sure the rest of the pics I'll upload are smaller in size, but I think the reason it's still loading slow is because the majority of the pics are still PNG's. I'm trying to replace them, but there's a lot of pictures. --Ben41 03:38, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Robocop

Hey, great job at improving the screencaps on the Robocop page. They look great now! -Gunman69 08:10, 6 November 2009 (UTC)


Thanks, still a work in progress, but I really wanted to up the quality of the pics. --Ben41 08:29, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

New Heat screencaps

Were those taken from a Blu-ray? --Predator20 15:53, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

No, these caps are from the Special Edition DVD. --Ben41 01:01, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Ok, did you mess with the color? The reason I ask is the new pic you uploaded of DeNiro seems to have more grain in the pic.

Your pic.

A quick one I took

It's not the same exact frame but close. My DVD is the '05 Two-Disc Special Edition. Also when someone sends you a message on your talk page, you reply back on theirs. --Predator20 02:53, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

I use the VLC too. I never tried saving them to PNG first then the JPEG. I may try that. Also I uploaded a new version of my cap. It's the same frame now. The first one I took was a little bit after. Some of the shots you took look better than others. The shot of Pacino and Studi in elevator looks great, more color.--Predator20 03:25, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

The Unit

Please tell me you're going to replace all of the older pics with your newer more awesome pics. That will motivate me to get more screen used guns for the page. :) MoviePropMaster2008 07:42, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

.PNG Images

I have always used .PNGs in lieu of .Jpegs because, while they are bigger, they are of superior quality, especially when it comes to thumbnails. Therefore, identifying guns is easier as the images are clearer. Since the rules, standards and principles insists on space conserving .jpeg images, the Carlito's way page will probably be the last one I do using .PNGs. I decided this yesterday before you sent me this and just didn't think it was worth announcing, and the only reason the Carlito's Way images are .PNGs is because I was halfway done with doing them all when I picked up my work yesterday. Needless to say I'll conform to the rules this time, so long as the quality of the screencaps doesn't suffer too much. --Yournamehere 22:50, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

The Problem with the Pirates pages

Thanks for asking ahead of time :) But I hate those pages. There is little we can identify other than 'flintlock pistol, 'flintlock musket', 'flintlock blunderbuss', etc. It's crap. We can offer no other information other than what is completely obvious to the audience. Gee. Jack Sparrow uses a flintlock pistol. So what? They didn't need US to tell them that. And if we cannot identify what make, model of pistol (which is hard since so many are custom), then it is a complete waste of IMFDB server space to have the page. I'm going to go on a deletion spree for all the lame pages with no screencaps on them. It's a part of the rules and standards, that bad pages are NOT better than no pages at all. Lame pages, especially lots of them, makes us look bad. Good thing you're trying to fix a bunch of the bad existing pages. I wish more members did that rather than create endless NEW pages that are lame. MoviePropMaster2008 02:45, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Aliens

I wasn't sure if you were going to be adding anymore pics to the page. I added 3 screencaps, I have a few others that can be added too if you're finshed. I had already capped the film the same time I uploaded the behind the scenes images. Which was at the end of Nov. but I didn't get off my ass and upload them so you beat me to it. Which is no big deal.--Predator20 16:44, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Stargate

I've noticed that the screencaps that you upload are much brighter/clearer than mine -are you using Blu Ray? --AdAstra2009 05:22, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

The Interpreter

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Henry US Survival .22 LR with M68 Aimpoint red dot scope

The rifle you see in this picture is the exact same one that was used in The Interpreter. I got the picture from the web site of Weapons Specialists, Ltd. in New York, which is the company that supplied the weapons to the production. So it's a safe bet that this exact gun is the one from the movie. You can see it's the same configuration and everything. This same gun was also used in Lord of War (another movie for which Weapons Specialists supplied guns).

Also, the AK rifle in the movie is an AK-47, not an AKM (and most likely, it's a converted Poly Tech Legend). -MT2008 21:22, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

White Hunter Black Heart

I'm into double rifles. Hope you weren't offended by my post on the discussion page, but it's fairly common for folks to mistake a double rifle for a double shotgun.I used to until a few years ago whne I set out to educate myself.Unfortunately it's all book learning. Personally I would love to own a double rifle - even a German double. But the German rifles start at $10,000 and go up to $20,000. The British doubles start at approximately $70,000 and go as high as $250,000. *Sigh*

I have the soul of a snob and the bank account of a working class joe. Oh well. The page looks good by the way.--Jcordell 06:38, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Last Samurai

WOW! Great work on the replacement screenshots!!!!!! are those Blu-ray? Stunning! Now I need to secretly ask you to fix some of the popular (but poorly screencapped) pages ;) nudge nudge wink wink ..... MoviePropMaster2008 07:41, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

BTW, per IMFDB rules, you can replace existing screenshots with your much superior widescreenshots. Some of the pages you've worked on, you seem hesitant to replace the crappier pics. By ALL MEANS replace the crappier pics! Great screenshots are a wonder to behold. Like Eraser, i hope you can replace the full screen caps. No one can complain. The rules say that Widescreen are preferable to fullscreen. :) Also, do you check the forum? I was hoping to PM you there. Send me a PM there so I can reply to it. :) MoviePropMaster2008 02:56, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Extreme Prejudice

Thanks for redoing those caps. Gunmaster45 uploaded them for me before I knew I how to do them myself. Also I had figured Atwater's pistol was a Smith & Wesson 39, not a Commander. But I couldn't tell enough from my cap. Since you redid it, it's clear. I really need to start messing with the colors on the VLC payer like you talked about. I pretty sure there is only one dvd version of Extreme Prejudice. Also there is an M60 used by the cartel in the final shootout that I missed. I think they are killed by Atwater. --Predator20 16:22, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Deinterlace? Where is that at? I didn't see it in Video effects. I messed with the gamma some. Maybe I need to use it more instead of brightness. What about hue and contrast also? Thanks for your help on this. --Predator20 02:55, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Edit found Deinterlace. --Predator20 03:14, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
Man I tried to get the adjustments right. I give up. Have fun doing the rest of the Extreme Prejudice page. --Predator20 21:49, 29 January 2010 (UTC)


Burn Notice

Your Burn Notice stuff is looking fantastic! Great screen caps and information, keep it up! --ManiacallyChallenged

Yeah, you've really filled out the page. It was a mess before you started working on it, but now it looks a lot better. I was actually planning to do some work on it for a while, but your screencaps are much higher-quality than mine, and so far, it's coming out great anyway. -MT2008 19:17, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi and thanx...

Thanks for your comments, I appreciate it and from now on will do screencaps with VLC... :) But if you're referring to the Universal Soldier: Regeneration screencaps, I am not the one responsible for those ones... I'm just now gonna upload my screencaps and remove those ols trailer caps... Warejaws 13:21, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

HD and MM quotes

You forgot, so I added it.

@@@ Marlboro Man (Don Johnson): Guns are made to be shot Harley, not thrown. -- Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man

HD: You're gonna get shot up here.

MM: Well you're gonna get smashed down there!

HD: Hey man I'd rather get smashed than shot.

MM: Not me!

Another one of my favorites, not sure if it would work on the main page.--Predator20 05:04, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi, you need to categorize your pic uploads

Great job, but when you upload screenshots, you need to put in the Category in double brackets and then put in 'screenshots'. Check out how other screenshots are 'categorized'. Thanks. MoviePropMaster2008 08:28, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

RE Screencaps

Yeah the program I have been using is not the best, and I could not change aspect ratio settings for some reason. I just downloaded the VLC player that you wrote about on your main page. I will try using it and if it works out fine then Ill probably go back and rescreencap pages Ive don in wide screen. --Mauser 21:28, 4 March 2010 (UTC)


Marked for Death

I'm glad to see someone is doing a page for this movie!

That being said, Hatcher's 1911 in the movie is not an SVI (I don't think those even existed when the movie was made). We had a topic about this in the forum, but the 1911 in the movie is a Federal Ordnance PSP-07. It's mentioned in the credits for the movie. Check out the forum topic here:

http://www.imfdb.org/forum/showthread.php?t=853

Also, the H&K automatic weapon used by Hatcher is not an HK53 (in fact, it's not even a .223-caliber weapon, if you look at the magazine). It is called the "HK51K", and it's a custom G3 conversion done by Bill Fleming, a Class III manufacturer.

-MT2008 05:31, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Enhanced image request

Could you enhance this image from Dirty Harry. The reason I ask is to better see the magnum markings. This one guy keeps changing it to a Model 57 a 41 magnum. It looks like it reads 44 magnum on the barrel. But an enhanced image would make it read better. --Predator20 19:22, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

This close up is at the end of the film.

Thanks. I have the newer box set too. But you usually have a way of making them appear a little bit better. --Predator20 14:36, 13 March 2010 (UTC)


The Eiger Sanction

I'v made a couple changes. Hemlock is actually using a Smith & Wesson Model 40 and not a Model 49 Bodyguard. Also the henchman is using hwat appears to be a snubby Smith & Wesson Model 10 instead of the Smith & Wesson Model 15 snubbie. If you look closely at the screencap you will notice no adjustable sights. The revolver appears to have fixed or duty sights which would make it the Model 10. Also I went ahead and listed the weapons used by Hemlock on Clint Eastwood 's page. And also showed on the respective firearms pages. But nevertheless it's good work. --Jcordell 00:49, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Great work on Waterworld

I hope you finish the page. :) There are many dressed up guns in that movie. Alas, most of the weapons were changed back after the movie was over, but I can see what I can get from Syd Stembridge regarding what guns still exist that appeared in that movie. Thanks MoviePropMaster2008 01:12, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Since you're still in the process of replacing images, could you replace the one below?

thanks for upgrading it. I had run out of time and had to go to work. --Jcordell 00:04, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Quigley Poster

I like the image of the movie poster. Nice. Really added to the page. --Jcordell 21:33, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

RE

I actually created disambiguation pages for CSI and Delta Force to make page navigation easier. I will try to make as many such pages I can, since unlike Wikipedia, page navigation needs a lot of improvement because sometimes even if we type the proper page name in the search box, we get the result not found.--SB2296 10:41, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Re: Actor's Pages

Thanks for the heads up, Ben. I agree that the pages look much better in the table format, but I've seen several different examples on different pages in terms of what column is which, so I figured I'd leave them in the basic format. However, it seems that now we've reached a more streamlined pattern (such as on the page you alerted me to), so I'll be sure to follow that from then on. On a side note, all of your pages look great, the screencaps are very sharp! Nice work! --Speakeasy804 00:45, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Writing spoilers

On the A Perfect Getaway page it would hard to write what's going on without spoiling anything. GM45 came up with this on the Se7en page and I have used it on several pages.--Predator20 22:55, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

New pages

Hey, Ben41! :) You're an awesome screencapper and page fixer, but, please, don't create multiple new pages with no screen caps. At least have some of the graphics ready to roll BEFORE the page is rolled out. Creating new pages with no screenshots or graphics inspires other (less capable page makers) to create scads of new empty pages with only gun listings. Thanks. MoviePropMaster2008 00:42, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

BTW I have 100% confidence that you will populate the page with great caps, but the worry is that others will do the first part and not the second part. thanks.

We Were Soldiers

I love your HD screencaps. And I know that you have the discipline to put in an appropriate number of screencaps. Heck you can replace even the ones I put in. LOL. It's all about the quality of the pics and the page. I'm just trying to get rid of the full screen caps which I dislike. Anyway, I know you're busy so I started working on the page - it being one of the most VIEWED pages on IMFDB. Did you notice I added more SCREEN USED hero guns to the page? ;) I can probably get more in the future when I have time. I just have to check with Mike Papac as to what guns were used on the production (but that takes time and checking records, etc.). MoviePropMaster2008 00:54, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the help on WWS

Your screencaps look awesome. A little favor though. We're trying to keep the screencaps from between 7-10 per section. I was going to cull the XM16 page, but since you did an awesome job of replacing the full screen shots, I was hoping you would do the honors. A big criticism of the page when it was done earlier was the overuse of screenshots (the XM16 page had 33 screencaps at one point). Thanks again for your great work on the page. MoviePropMaster2008 06:33, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

User: 99.12.124.133

I sent him a final warning, if he doesn't listen this time, he's gone for good. By the way, excellent work replacing screencaps all over IMFDB with much better ones, you have improved many pages on here alot. Keep up the good work, and let me know if you need anything.--Alienqueen11 23:54, 8 May 2010 (UTC)


Virtuosity

Hey, Ben, good work on Virtuosity, but I have a question. Do you have screenshots of the following characters/weapons from the movie:

  • Denzel Washington gets an H&K USP from a transport guard and uses it later in the movie.
  • A bunch of the police officers in the movie also use the Beretta 92F, especially at the club.
  • One of the terrorists in the flashback sequence is armed with an M16-type rifle, I think an M16A1 with A2-style hand guards (can't tell).

If you don't mind grabbing these screencaps, I'd appreciate it. It would complete the page. Gracias. -MT2008 16:22, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! Also, I think the subguns used in the movie may be Walther MPL or MPK, not Franchi LF-57s (I started a discussion about it). -MT2008 16:33, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Some Last of the Mohicans guns

Hey there. Glad to see how much work you've done on the page. :) I had some pics of some of the background muskets (used by civilians and indians) that were 'rescued' from the production by one of the gunsmiths I knew who worked on the picture. As you know, the vast majority of the guns were destroyed during the filming (the stuntmen pretty much used their muskets as clubs in most of the fight scenes) and over 400 Brown Bess muskets were destroyed. I have a pic of two background guns. Is there any screenshot which may have these in them? I know they were for background people. One is a modern repro of a common commercial flintlock firearm of the time period, the other is known as a trade gun, i.e. a lesser quality flintlock that had less parts and craftsmanship, developed specifically for trade with the Indians (i.e. they let the 'locals' get the more cheaply made muskets). Anyway, just wondering if you thought we should add this to your excellent page.

Last of the Mohicans background screen musket - fortress siege scene only

Thanks MoviePropMaster2008 00:35, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Actually those were real firing muskets (modern replicas) of civilian muskets, so they were issued to the Colonists volunteers to represent 'private purchase' weapons of the civilians. The Trade muskets were issued to allied Indians to the British Army as they were the 18th century equivalent of 'lend lease' to friendly Indian tribes. They were indeed fired. All non-firing guns were rubber. The reason why so many guns were destroyed was that after 2 weeks of filming a lot of the actors and stuntmen and background extras were really banging on each other with the guns as clubs during the many days of 'hand to hand fighting' filming. I suspect the filmmakers expected this since the production purchased the muskets, they didn't rent the majority of them, except for select hero guns. Thanks. So the info on the movie page isn't quite right. :) MoviePropMaster2008 19:05, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Wild Geese II

Thanks for adding to this page, ive been looking for stuff on that Safari Arms pistol for so long now. Do you plan to add screencaps?--The Mercenary 21:04, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Kuffs

I noticed you did the caps for Kuffs. Do you still have the movie? A quote could be added to the template. Slater says something like "I need a really big gun that holds lots of bullets" The gun clerk explains the Beretta and Slater says he'll take two. --Predator20 15:32, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

House

The Glock Elias Koteas holds has a rail so it's a 3rd gen, but also Koteas has big hands. Do you think the gun looks like a .45 cap? MoviePropMaster2008 12:58, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Re: 24 - Season 5

I'm still working on 24 - Season 5. Unlike most users I don't submit or save my work until it's completely done but I'll just save the first 8 episodes now that your asking. I've been stuck on Kalashnikov variants in the first 4 episodes that's why i haven't finished yet. - HKFan 14:02, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Those black sidebars only occur during the first 3 episodes. I think those are caused by the DVDs since I am using VLC Media Player. As you could see I've decided to finish up Season 5 since someone already have been posting low res screencaps and not leaving much detail like I did in Season 7. Can you help identifying the AK Variants when I'm done with episode 4. I think if I do one episode per day so I could get much more done. I can't make the caps any brighter since they've already been sitting in My Pictures for 3 months. But I look forward to doing seasons 4, 6, and 8. - HKFan 22:26, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

RoboCop

Do you plan on adding any more caps to it? Emil Antonowsky (Paul McCrane) uses the Ithca 37 to shoot Murphy in the warehouse and some shots of him could be added. I have the dvd and can add them, but if you're still working on the page. I'll let you take care of it.--Predator20 00:02, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Yeah looks like a TEC-9 mini.

My computer is choking up on VCL. if you have any more Missing In action images post them. I was also going to do Delta Force 2 but given my limitations that's out for now.69.232.200.58 04:23, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

RE: Crossing Over

Yeah, I was gonna say...rapid turn-around! Anyway, now that I've seen the ones you uploaded, they're of better quality than mine, so I'd rather leave it to you (plus, it ensures that the quality will be consistent). That sound good? -MT2008 22:56, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

The film page template

I noticed that you changed the template for The American. That template has an interesting history. I've never used it because I was one of the early ones who didn't like that formatting change. Some users created a template that had the poster line BELOW the summary line amongst other slight changes. There was no consensus. I think just one person came up with it and used it. But I always did it the way that Bunni did it. The majority of the site was Bunni's way. But ever since one of the Mods made their own 'user's template' people have started changing pages to conform with it, which I never agreed with. Just letting you know, as a mod, I've always been changing them back to the original style from when the site first began. I still think the poster should be aligned top most and to the upper rightmost corner of the page to start with, which means the poster image line should be first on the page, just because that's the way 90% of the site was when it first started and I thought it looked best. Just thought I'd give you some of the interesting background history, (and why most of the pages which I work on are changed to that way, moreso if I did all the work on the page, which I did NOT on The American which is someone else's page.  :) MoviePropMaster2008 05:35, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Since you started the page and put all the screencaps up, I defer to your preference.  :) Which is what I said previously, but on my pages I prefer the old style. :) MoviePropMaster2008 06:43, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Jesse Ventura

I'm not one to trust Wikipedia. Ventura might have served in Vietnam, but is said not to have saw actual combat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Ventura#Navy_career Otherwise I would have included him when I wrote up the Richard Chaves page. I was wanting to do more research into Ventura's military career. Ventura is a veteran though.

Also before I build an actor page I search their name before I build the article, take Melanie Griffith she also used a SIG P230 in Season 3 of Miami Vice.--Predator20 14:08, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

cont...

I thinking the wording Chaves' page should be: "Best known for his role as Poncho in Predator, Richard served in the Army's 101st Airborne Division, he is one of two actors in the film that served in the Vietnam War. The other being Jesse Ventura who served in the Navy's UDT."

Alt wording could be "Best known for his role as Poncho in Predator, Richard served in the Army's 101st Airborne Division, he is one of two actors in the film that are Vietnam veterans. The other being Jesse Ventura who served in the Navy's UDT." Or if you can think of better wording, go for it. --Predator20 14:36, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Miami Vice vs 24

I'm going to wrap up season four of Vice probably next week. Then I'll get started on season five. When that gets finished we'll be able to do an accurate count on the total number of different guns used. You can go ahead do a count on 24 if you want and see where it's at. Also don't just add the number of guns per season together. A Beretta 92FS counts once not eight times. If we did that 24 would be at 234 and Miami Vice would be at 195 currently with a season and a half to go. I think Vice was at 100+ different guns before the page was split into seasons. --Predator20 01:39, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Re: Reupping a-team image

It´ll have to wait till Friday. I´ll get it done then.--Milkovich 07:32, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay. Was away for longer then I expected. The image has been replaced. --Milkovich 15:50, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Cherry 2000

You're doing great work but you're doing too many pages at one time. I clicked on one of the images you uploaded for the film a few weeks back. It was Ben Johnson holding a SAA (I'll always remember him from The Wild Bunch), I checked the paged today it wasn't on there. I went through your uploads and found it along with another that had Brion James with a Winchester 1897. I put them on the page. You may want check your other films and see if any images are missing. --Predator20 00:01, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

The Kingdom

Any specific reason why you reverted the close-up of Sykes with the 91? And the one of the MP5? Your over-brightened (and sorta yellow-ish) shots aren't exactly better. --Milkovich 12:19, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

I personally cant see the point of using your 91 pic over the new one. It´s more detailed and you get to see the stock fully. Though in retrospective reverting the MP5 picture was a good idea indeed. And the whole .png to .jpg thing isn´t necessary for me. I own Photoshop, so I can regulate the quality of my .jpg´s fully (which is also the reason why all my uploads until yesterday were so big, I only started to use lower compression then)..--Milkovich 05:49, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

VLC never made it darker for me. Are you sure that you have the video effects off? It might also simply be your screen. The brightness differs heavily between different models (there´s a massive gap between my laptop and my gaming rig in terms of contrast). --Milkovich 05:58, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

Good Work

You're doing good work. Remember to link the movies to the guns or is that link the guns to the movies. Nevertheless keep it up. Thanks for the help.--Jcordell 02:49, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

Re: Using Photoshop

Sounds overly complicated to me. I take the caps, work up the quality a bit, resize and save with quality compression 10. It works well enough. Though I am open to any kind of advice. --Milkovich 06:02, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

I was planning on redoing those, but lost interest that very same day. You can redo them if you want. --Milkovich 06:18, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

Jesse Stone

Yes but I have no definite timetable. If you want to do it go for it. My ego won't be bruised. On the other hand you suck for updating Fort Apache, The Bronx. LOL. I've been planning on doing an upgrade, but I was going to borrow my father's DVD and I'm not going to be seeing him until October. But perhaps I'll see if I can get some screencaps to add at that time. As you probably noticed I've been tinkering with that page over the past couple years. It needs some work. Good job. And you are welcome. Also right back at you. --Jcordell 23:46, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Okay. Not a problem. And yes I've read that there is another Stone movie coming out this year. I believe they've already filmed it. --Jcordell 23:52, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Hey, Ben, the thought just occurred to me...you are WAY overdue for an Administrator position offer. Have any of the other Admins offered you the position yet? You've been doing a lot of work on this site for a long time, so I think you've earned it. If you want the job, I will gladly email Bunni and ask him to promote you. -MT2008 01:31, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

New RoboCop pics

Well, I'm a good bit late here, but I want to congratulate you personally on putting on the upgraded caps for RoboCop, especially the newest Blu-Ray caps. It's my all time favorite film and it looks bitchin' in Blu-Ray from the pics I've seen (on here and elsewhere). Anyway, it looks great - Excellent job on it, as well as the others you've done, man. Glad to have every gun on there now. StanTheMan 00:07, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

- Rather than make a new section, I'll just post here. I've seen RoboCop again recently and since you have gotten images for it before, I'd like to ask if you could help add a bit more to the page. I've been having problems getting screencaps off DVDs lately, hence why I'm asking you, plus you have Blu-Ray. Anyway, it turns out that not every single gun is on the page; one of the 'new' images I'd like to try and grab is the where Lewis and Murphy pull up to the Steel Mill following the van chase - there's a rack in the car with a Colt Commando/CAR-15-style rifle on it. It's not really a good shot of the gun but should be included (I'll be adding the section in a minute). Another one is right after that in the mill, when Murphy confronts Emil and the other crook. Right before he says his 'Dead or Alive..' line, he shoots the other crook who grabs his 870 shotgun. I'd like to get a couple shots of him when he gets shot by Murphy, as there's a blooper where the gun changes from a standard 870 Police Folder (which he picks up) to one with an extended mag tube when he gets shot. Again a minor thing but I would like to make a note of it. Anyway, that's pretty much it, I can understand if you're busy and all so take your time and let me if you're able to do them or whatever, I'd appreciate it and I think the page would benefit that much more. Thanks for your time. StanTheMan 20:37, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
- Actually, on second thought, the gun on the rack might be a shotgun. Well, anyway, I guess that's it. A Blu-Ray cap might help the ID out, but maybe not - again, it's not shown that well. StanTheMan 03:42, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
- Very nice, man. Thanks. StanTheMan 01:52, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

invasion

Yeah, thanks for the heads up but I am still working on it. Kinda hard when I'm actually in the middle of several productions at the same time. The aggregate time I have available to screencap and post on IMFDB is about 20 minutes a DAY currently. I should have done more but I still have a ton of unfixed screenshots that I have to crop and upload. Thanks for the message, though I would still like the opportunity to finish it :) MoviePropMaster2008 16:35, 31 August 2010 (UTC)


The Score

I checked out The Score and noticed the screencaps are brightened and sharpened on the page. Excellent work, they look great! - Gunmaster45

{{Film Title}} & __TOC__<br clear="all">

For some reason when you use {{Film Title}} & __TOC__<br clear="all"> it will put the weapons list at the bottom of the movie poster. But if you type out "The following guns were used in the film" and use __TOC__<br clear="all"> it doesn't. While I like using {{Film Title}} because it saves on typing, but when you have to use clear=all also it doesn't work to your advantage. --Predator20 14:18, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

It must have to with having written text or an image code above clear=all. --Predator20 21:38, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Nikita Disambiguation

Putting the off shoot shows on the same lines is wrong. Those are 'footnotes' to the original entries, since they are NOT technically disambiguations since they have different titles. MoviePropMaster2008 01:52, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Lost

Please stop changing the images on the Lost page. Your images are of vastly inferior quality and it is doing a disservice to this web site. Your pictures have colors that are washed out and bleeding and look far worse than the originals. I took great care in selecting high-quality images to place on this site and I do not appreciate your ruining them with inferior versions.Axeman 21:26, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Actually I think yours are superior. You've adjusted the darkness so the weapons are easier to see and you cropped the black bars which is one of the things that are requested for imfdb. Also I don't see any of the colors bleeding.I'd replace the images. --Jcordell 23:42, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

Hawaii Five-0

Sorry, the pictures looked a little small and since 600 has become the site's standard I went ahead and changed them. I noticed they looked blurry and a little awkward in 600px but decided to leave it. If you want to keep it 400px I'm fine with that and will leave the page alone. -Anonymous

RE: A-Team 2010

Well, I sorta knew this was comin'. The source where I got those screencaps for the movie is this: http://www.discshop.fi/shop/ds_produkt.php?lang=&id=75676&lang=fi&subsite=bluray&&ref= <-- That is a website in finland, which concentrates on films, games, music, etc. I ordered the BLU-Ray about 1½ weeks ago, and it was released on October 29th in Finland. I assure you, it is NOT a bootleg of any kind. But I see your point, and if removing those caps (for now) is for the greater good, I have no objection. We wouldn't wanna face legal consequences. But hey, can you at least save the screencaps? I mean just delete them from the A-Team page, not the whole site? 'Cos I spend almost 4 hours taking and uploading those screencaps. That way, I could put them on the site on the 11th (or was it 14th) day, when the DVD is supposed to come out.

PS. I was also bewildered when I noticed that a film had come out in Finland looooong before it comes out in the US. (NOTE: I will also put this on MoviePropMaster2008's talks page) --Warejaws 01:07, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

RE:RE:A-Team 2010

Hi Ben, I was wondering that now when the DVD for The A-Team has appeared in the US, could I upload/or add (the rest of) my screencaps to the page?? Oh, and do I have to replace my previous screencaps with new ones (since they were uploaded before the official release date), or can I just revert the page to the latest version by me? --Warejaws 12:17, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

Ok, thank you. I'll update the page soon. --Warejaws 14:15, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

The Way of War

Great work! but actually, IMFDB rules states that IMDB is the final say on U.S. release titles :) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1133995/combined So it is "The Way of War" not "Way of War". I can't figure out why the Poster says that. Only the Australian and French Video releases changed the named to "Way of War", but I would still conform to the U.S. Release standard. :) Just giving you a heads up :) MoviePropMaster2008 01:50, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

You're right. WTF? Amazon has it listed differently than IMDB. WTF? I don't know then. We always go with the American distribution title and usually IMDB is our bible on that. This is the first time I've seen this happen. MoviePropMaster2008 02:29, 30 November 2010 (UTC)


Inception

Good screenshots you have on the Inception page. They look much more sharper and refined than SOLID's possible pirated images. Also, I watched the third level scene and didn't seem to find a Norinco QBZ-97 being shown. All that's there are M4A1 Carbines and MP5A3s. - Kenny99 22:51, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

Well, as you once suggested, I'm using VLC player to screencap. I don't do much with them, I just cap them as jpgs and upload them. BTW, I've been meaning to ask, how do you/what do you do to tweak/edit your caps? Or do you do anything to them at all? 'Cause my caps are sometimes darker than average, and I don't know what to use to solve the problem... (Tried GIMP but waaaaay too many gadgets for me...) --Warejaws 07:36, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Spitting up TV pages

Even Vice which has a large amount of different guns used, has quite a bit of overlap of the same ones used each seasons. I would say about 30 to 40%. Also I did a quick look at the weapons list on The Unit it has around 120 guns plus another 10 miscellaneous weapons. Mail Call has 98 including repeats (it probably only has 60 to 70 actual different guns). So The Unit should actually be listed at number 2. (It was at #1 for while before Mail Call which wasn't done by a true count anyway.) I'm going to look into doing an actual count for Mail Call, 24, Vice and compare them to the other large TV pages that aren't split. --Predator20 20:46, 1 February 2011 (UTC)


Screencaptures and watermarks

This is weird legal/etiquette territory. Since no one (outside of the movie studios) who posts screen captures from DVDs on the internet owns the content in any way, is the rule about watermarked images merely about the "work" of capturing a screen-shot? It's my understanding that review sites are "allowed" by the studios to post captures because reviews help the studios with sales, not because review sites have a legal right to do so. -- Blokhed 2/14/11


Are you going to tackle Magnum P.I.?

I've been playing with the idea of renting all the seasons from Netflix and screencapping, but then I lie down and it passes. Are you feeling brave? --Jcordell 00:43, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Okay. As soon as I get off the couch. Oh wait I'm feeling energetic. Better sit here for awhile. --Jcordell 00:48, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

S&W Revolving Rifle

Hi Ben, I couldn't answer you before as for some reason all the 'edit' functions vanished off my screen.

I'm afraid I don't have the knowledge or tools to do screencaps to do films at this time. I thought a small page on the weapon would be good as a)someone may wish to do 'Son of Paleface' or other films with that ususual weapon in and b)Once people see and can identify the weapon they may do pages on other films they've seen it in.

I've learned a tremendous amount from this site as I really can't identify most weapons, fashions, songs, automobiles, hairstyles after 1975. (i.e. I can watch a film and if it's well done identify what part of which decade the film is meant to depict; from 1975 on it's all one big blur). As I'm still learning about your site it I've noticed you can not have 100% of things, for example the Single Action Army Revolver or Winchester 1873 or 1894 (I haven't yet learned to diffrentiate between the two) would have literally hundreds if not thousands of films with the those weapons. I thought some unusual weapon that to my knowledge is fairly rare in film would fit in and perhaps encourage the others to do pieces of the film or actor (I guess Roy Rogers would have a page with the same three weapons I mentioned) for the edification of your fan base.

Thank you for your help.Foofbun 03:47, 5 March 2011 (MSK)

Upload Errors

Are all those issues sorted now? We were working out a lot of bugs on the new server earlier. BTW thanks for saving me from MoviePropMaster's Nuke on Risky Business XD bunni 07:27, 5 March 2011 (MSK)

That log in bug is really weird, we're looking into it. I'm aware of the non-centered ad and don't plan on bringing the side ads back at the moment - I'm trying to find less intrusive advertising to support the site. bunni 08:35, 5 March 2011 (MSK)
I will look into the banner issue. What browser and skin are you running? I'd like to try and recreate it. I have some more adjustments to be made to the featured article setup on the front page, including adjusting the quotes section. This is on my schedule for tomorrow. The recent articles and discussions aren't particularly efficient pieces of code and were dramatically slowing down the server response times on the front page. I'm looking for another way to implement that functionality. bunni 23:10, 8 March 2011 (MSK)
OK, I've found the fix for all the login/upload/image/etc errors the site is having but it will involve a few hours of server downtime and reconfiguration. I've successfully completed the job on the site's test server. I will have to wait until my next day off work so I have this work tentatively scheduled for early Wednesday morning. bunni 21:45, 20 March 2011 (CDT)

I don't think he needs to be banned but I told him to remove the links to the product pages and to move his images onto the discussion pages unless they are actual screen used props like we did for The Golden Closet on pages like Scarface#Beretta_Model_81. I don't think we want to showcase reproductions of gun models on a movie's page unless they are particularly noteworthy or have some connection to the original production. bunni 22:06, 23 March 2011 (CDT)

We're moving to solid state hard drives this week. That should provide the database speed increase needed to bring back the recent articles lists. (: bunni 22:10, 29 March 2011 (CDT)

Um, why are you deleting redirects?

Sure some are lame, but most are what people would type into the search function. The nomenclature of putting "The" first is standard when typing in a title name for a search. IMFDB puts the "the" last for alphabetizing reasons, but the redirects are there so that when people put in 'likely' search parameters, they'll still end up at the right page.

Ah yes. Thanks for the info :D MoviePropMaster2008 02:55, 8 April 2011 (CDT)

Just to explain what's going on here, since I haven't been approved on the forums yet:

Burt has apparently decided that he should remove all uses of the term "RPG" to refer to anything but the RPG-X series of weapons made by Russia, since apparently the term is "incorrect" if it's used to mean anything but it's original Russian meaning; this includes removing references to projectiles as RPGs, something the US military (and English-speaking militaries in general) would disagree with him on. Obviously, he's wrong; I've quoted a BAE Systems press release ("The LROD system provides lightweight, low-cost RPG protection that is easily adapted to virtually any armored vehicle") and the Historical Dictionary of the US Army both using RPG to mean a general class of weapons, but he's apparently decided that everyone, including professionals who manufacture and operate weaponry, is wrong and he's right on what the proper term is. Saying "Type 69 RPG" is about as incorrect as saying "M4 carbine" in a caption; it might not be needed, but that's no reason to delete it for being wrong. Then again, given the pages this guy hangs around and the general attitude it looks like he's good old PersonOfInterest. Isn't he banned? Evil Tim 04:57, 14 April 2011 (CDT)

I've already explained how saying "Type 69 RPG" is not the same as saying "M4 carbine". If Evil Tim just wants to disregard any and all points I make, then I'll just have to go over his head. Yes, I'll wait for official moderator/admin approval. MT2008 is already leaning towards my position. It should be noted that I have multiple points and arguments supporting my position, and all Evil Tim has to say is "well everyone's doing it so it must be ok." He doesn't actually refute any of my arguments. And no I'm not PersonOfInterest. --BurtReynoldsMoustache 17:46, 14 April 2011 (CDT)

Oh, ok

I looked it up to make sure it wasn't some obscene acronym I wasn't aware of, and the way I read it made it seem like ESU was a bigger unit that SWAT and HAZMAT teams belonged to, so since the team wasn't HAZMAT it would still be correct to say it was SWAT. So it's actually that ESU guys do any of the roles as the situation demands? Evil Tim 03:17, 17 April 2011 (CDT)

Re: 2011 Topic: Type 69: RPG or no RPG?

I've been following their edit war on this subject, and have already locked the RPG-7 page to administrator-only edit access. I hoped that would settle the dispute, and if those two are still bitching about it, they need to grow up and move on. So far as I can tell, they're just bickering like little children over a dead issue. Orca1 9904 01:37, 20 April 2011 (CDT)

Everyone hates chris

Don't do that. That page was NOT the "everyone hates chris' page that YOU made. It was ANOTHER one that was mispelled and thus deserves to be deleted. Your original one is still there. Don't undo what I've done. Thanks. MoviePropMaster2008 01:47, 20 April 2011 (CDT)

Thanks, we can't keep a 'dummy page' for every possible incarnation of a spelling of a title. Then we would have "everyone hates Chris" "Everyone hate CHris" "everyone HATES chris" etc. etc. You get the drift. I would rather keep the CORRECT imdb title page as the placeholder (and locked), and if anyone creates a new page by typing in the title wrong (which happens for titles other than ones we've banned), then we delete it and warn the new user (or ban them if they become problem children). MoviePropMaster2008 02:01, 20 April 2011 (CDT)
It's usally started in low caps, I think now that I protected it and redirected it to the page with the correct spelling. It may be okay. --Predator20 19:26, 21 April 2011 (CDT)

Ok, just one issue with that though:

Under "Film" heading for "Taurus PT941 (Stainless)," what order is the table actually in? Is it supposed to be sorted by year, oldest to newest? I ask because when I fixed GE M134 Minigun's tables I went with what was already on the page (newest to oldest) and if that's not right I'll have to turn those the other way around too. Also, is "name / character / notation / date" the right format for videogame entries? Evil Tim 06:34, 20 April 2011 (CDT)

TheCartel_Screen_2

Can you delete this picture, I didn't realize there was another picture with same name somewhat.(The difference is there is a space between "The" and "Cartel" in the other picture.

Ruckus

I prefer not to wait and hope a newbie user decides to learn how to properly use a wiki. I also left him a message about how each weapon section should be formatted, but in the meantime I didn't want to leave a page looking completely trashy in hopes that he'd decided to learn how to do it properly. I've never cared for the "wait for someone else to get it right" strategy because most of the time, they don't. The Video Games section is a testament to that.--PistolJunkie 19:25, 7 May 2011 (CDT)


Thank you for your note on my disc page. I am still learning the format and editing, but I had to get some sleep.

Spambot

I'm really not sure what this thing's trying to do: it's obviously someone who knows what they're doing (IP address changing every time (and the range includes Austria, Canada, France, Finland, Greece, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Saudi Arabia (!), South Korea, UK, and US so far, suggesting it's a botnet), vandalising random pages, edit reasons made using a password generator to stop us blocking based on those) but it seems to just be posting random thankyous to the previous poster, which suggests it's designed to be used on a forum. So it's someone technically competant but totally stupid. :s Evil Tim 05:57, 11 May 2011 (CDT)

Hi, Ben! The Soldier of Fortune: Payback page was full of PNGs. I have changed them to JPGs but instead of "nuke"-ing them I just move those PNGs to the Talk:Soldier of Fortune: Payback page. Although those are only small files, I think they can be deleted now. Just wanted to tell you this.
And one more thing: Could you please protect my user page from unregistered users? Thanks in advance. bozitojugg3rn4ut 06:38, 12 May 2011 (CDT)

Hi. You have deleted the "Fallout 2" video game page recently because it was full of PNG's and texts copied exactly from the official Fallout Wikia (The Vault).

Starship Troopers

Just curious what your source was for Starship Troopers expending the most blanks of any film. :) MoviePropMaster2008 04:32, 29 May 2011 (CDT)

Thanks Ben41! :) Wow. I don't even REMEMBER that forum thread! I was at Fremont when they filmed the Cyberdyne sequences of T2. I know that Arnold fired 30,000 of 7.62 rounds all by himself with that Minigun.  :) But in that very thread you linked to, didn't Steve K. point out that We Were Soldiers fired at least Half a million rounds that he knows of? That would Knock Starship Troopers off the top. It's funny. I was there for a week during some of the location shooting (well that's where nearly all of the firing took place) and I recall that most of the actors had dummy guns. I think I only counted about 12 guys who were rocking and rolling at any one time but that was just a mental note I made during the damned heat wave! I still have some stuff from the film including the Morita but it's all messed up. I still haven't fixed it up enough to photograph it for IMFDB :( Also back to Steve's comment, the only reason why that 'stat' mentioned by others sounded strange was that I was sure that there are quite a few full blown WAR movies that would easily come close to that number.  :) Thanks again for the reply :) As for background stories on movie sets, I sure wish I could write out some of the stuff I see! hahahahaha, but then I don't want to get into trouble! :) Remember, on the internet, it's forever! :D best regards MoviePropMaster2008 18:04, 29 May 2011 (CDT)

RE:Battle LA

I respectfully disagree, the game received universal scorn from reviewers, right? I figure as long we don't say things like "This game sucked ass," it would be fine. But it is your page, so I'm not going to get too ornery over it. BeardedHoplite 14:23, 13 June 2011 (CDT)

Not trying to argue with your decision or anything

But I take it from the change to Shinji Mikami that Category:Director is only for movie directors? The guy does have director credits on IMDB. Evil Tim 01:34, 14 June 2011 (CDT)

Oh, I just figured since he was credited as director or producer for all of the games listed that was enough to put him in category: director. Could we have a category: game director or something for people like this? I can think of Hideki Kamiya as another example of a guy who has multiple director credits for games we have articles for (three Resident Evil games and Devil May Cry). Evil Tim 01:49, 14 June 2011 (CDT)
Really? I'd just see it as a way to tie together a group of creators. Granted there's no point doing it now since AFAIK there's only one game director with his own category, but if we had several it would make sense to have a category to put them all in so they're not just floating around on nothing. Anyway, I'll stop bothering you with hypotheticals and let you get back to work on your article, I know how annoying it is trying to have a conversation and upload at the same time.

Battle: Los Angeles

Are you planning to revamp the Battle: Los Angeles page? I have the Blu-Ray and was planning to do it. -MT2008 20:42, 14 June 2011 (CDT)

The page as it is now lacks many of the best and clearest views of the weapons. If you're going to do the page, the only thing I ask is that you actually watch the movie from beginning to end and make sure you get all the best shots of the weapons (which is what I am in the process of doing now). If you're not going to do that, then I'd prefer you let me finish the page instead. -MT2008 09:03, 15 June 2011 (CDT)

Okay, will do. Good job. Unfortunately I lost the DVD, never found it, and was never able to finish it. I suspected it had been stolen by a relative's acquaintance (if you have to steal a 10+ year old movie that would cost you $5, if even that much, in a bargain bin, you must be in a bad place), but was never able to prove it. I've been intending to get another one, but kept forgetting. Spartan198 15:42, 26 June 2011 (CDT)

Thanks for adding the extras screen on Robo 3 (Which I know is like, two), heh. Also good job on categorizing too. I would like to request you get a couple of the regular 'XM-177s' used in the movie, there are several. I'd screencap it myself, but unlike before when I was having troubles with my DVD drive and players... I just don't have that DVD. Some would ask me what kind of diehard Robo fan am I, but I would ask what they thought of R3.. hehe. ANYWAY, good job. I hope you like my work on the other two Robo pages. StanTheMan 16:50, 30 June 2011 (CDT)

Yeah, I hadn't made screencaps in some time and forgot it leaves the black bars there. I certainly will keep note of it in the future. I'd go back through and clean them up, but seems you're gonna do that, so... Well, again I'll just remember for next time. StanTheMan 20:00, 30 June 2011 (CDT)

Helmet covers

There is a big freakin difference between describing a helmet cover as "BACKWARDS" and "INSIDE OUT". hahahaha LOL. For one, you can't mount the covers backwards (though you 'could' on the old Kevlar "fritz" helmets, I've done it plenty of times, especially on a stretched out helmet cover that is broken in). But I don't buy the seam arguement. I've seen MICH helmet covers with raised seams and flat seams. Also the Desert Marpat pattern fades in the sun, but more importantly in the context of the movie, DUST coats the helmet cover making it seem solid versus patterned. I've seen this tons of times. Right now I still don't see the compelling evidence to justify the 'quote' :D Happy 4th, MoviePropMaster2008 01:11, 5 July 2011 (CDT)

Multiple people with the same name

Since you seem to be the man regarding actor pages, I figure this is best pitched to you: what do we do when we have multiple actors with the same name? I ask because I've found the "Korean officer" in Stealth is a named character ("Colonel Yune") played by a guy called Jason Lee, but it's not this guy. So what do we call this new guy's page? Evil Tim 16:20, 11 July 2011 (CDT)

Probably the right idea, but I don't think (IX) is the best way: IMDB's list includes everyone who's ever been called Jason Lee in a movie credit; writers, producers, etc. We'd probably be best off calling ours Jason Lee (II) since we're only listing the ones we know have handled firearms. Evil Tim 04:42, 12 July 2011 (CDT)

Westerns

So you've decided it's time to add to the number of westerns that are represented here on imfdb I'm assuming. --Jcordell 23:34, 11 July 2011 (CDT)

It's really not a big deal to me. If you want to re-do Rooster Cogburn go for it. If not I'll get to it. Right now I've gotten sidetracked with 21 Jump Street. My wife loved that show when it was airing back in the eighties and she has gone and purchased the series on DVD. That page needs some work. I started on it yesterday. I also plan to do Coming Home. That one will be simple. Just the M16A1 and an SKS are featured in the movie. One of the problems I'm not encountering is that the last of the video rental stores in my town has closed. I don't stream video right now (though we plan on getting it when our Direct TV contract runs out in December)so I'm reduced to Redbox and buying the DVD's of movies that I like. Bite The Bullet was the last of the westerns that I wanted to add to my collection. Well that's not true. I do plan on getting a copy of Eastwood's Hang 'Em High. Well wait I just remembered another one. It would be great if either you or I made a page for Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid starring James Coburn. --Jcordell 10:57, 12 July 2011 (CDT)

Language

Last I checked we don't censor quotes containing swearwords (there's quite a few pages with them) and I seem to recall some discussion about that a while back that concluded we shouldn't. Has that changed recently? Evil Tim 11:24, 14 July 2011 (CDT)

Well, I personally would be against censoring quotes, and I do think the site leans towards that view. However, I'm sure Ben probably just removed it to keep you and the other guy from editing it over and over and filling up the logs, not because it has a dirty word. The quote isn't absolutely necessary anyway. StanTheMan 12:00, 14 July 2011 (CDT)
We do allow it in discussions, remember Oliveira and his tendency to swear at least four times per paragraph? Evil Tim 02:38, 15 July 2011 (CDT)
I just rather object to the idea that a random newbie can sail in, throw asterisks into a quote on a page and get it deleted; after all, nobody has ever said "fstarck" in a movie. It's not strictly necessary to have movie quotes in captions, I'd agree (though such is true of any quote, cursing or no), but if they're already on a page I don't think we should accept people making the quotes wrong by sticking random symbols in them. I don't disagree with all forms of censorship (in fact, I think we should put a rule in saying we don't allow NC-17 or equivalent rated movies on the basis someone will try it sooner or later) but it makes the wiki look childish to have people quoted saying "f*ck." Evil Tim 06:32, 15 July 2011 (CDT)
The guy has done it again. Frankly, by my view, the rule is about restricting language on article descriptions and personal comments, not movie quotes, and it states to keep cursing to a minimum, not to eliminate it or censor it entirely. And quite frankly, the way that's he doing it, arbitrarily and on random pages, is very disconcerting and I would say almost vandal-like, as if he's trying intentionally to be annoying (which in my case, is working). I've left him a message that he should stop and consult an admin before doing any more of those edits, but I wanted to let you know personally. I might speak to some other admins about this also. I'd really like to get this settled because I'm starting to see it as a bit of a problem. StanTheMan 14:14, 17 July 2011 (CDT)

I did.

I put it on the talk page of the user who made the edit: "Lupara" is a term for a configuration of shotgun (ie, sawed-off) not a type, so changing "unknown shotgun" to "lupara shotgun" is a bit like changing "unknown rifle" to "carbine rifle;" we still don't know. More to the point, the shotguns in the movie aren't sawed off, they've still got long barrels and full stocks. Evil Tim 02:55, 18 July 2011 (CDT)

I'll get to it. Been busy and I have not seen my source for those weapons in MONTHS. BTW, will you ever do a Blu Ray Version of Terminator 3: rise of the machines?

Hey there buddy. Help me out man. At this particular point in time I am unable to get a copy of the old Walter Matthau movie The Laughing Policeman (1973). Could you screen-cap that page? I don't believe there are more than four or five firearms that make an appearance in the movie. Most notably a Smith & Wesson Model 15 Snub , M16A1 and an M3 / M3A1 "Grease Gun". You know how I am about the old movies. I've already added the movie to Matthau's page as well as the above named firearms. Oh and I recall the smg used by the bad guy to be a Grease gun, but I might be wrong. It's been a couple years. Thanks. --Jcordell 09:16, 29 July 2011 (CDT)

thanks again. --Jcordell 18:48, 29 July 2011 (CDT)

Great. thanks. Like I said it has been a couple years. Now I know why I thought/remember it was a grease gun. The ventilated sleeve was removed from the barrel. I think they wanted it to look like a Grease Gun. In the movie they find out from an informant that the suspect was wanting to buy a Grease gun.Thanks again.--Jcordell 09:35, 30 July 2011 (CDT)

Spammers

One thing you might want to note when deleting spam pages; I think spam-sites can still get links counted from our recent changes page, so it might be a good idea to blank the links out from the "reason for deletion" otherwise it could still be helping them out (and thus encouraging them to keep doing it).

Just so you know, I have finished the page for 'Heaven's Burning'. I added some guns that you had not included (e.g. the High Standard K-1200 riot gun) and included more detailed text with the screenshots. In addition, I revised 3 guns, see below.

(1) Smith&Wesson 27 ==> Smith Wesson 28 (because the movie gun has the matt finish) (2) Federal Ordnance PSP07 ==> Springfield Armory Omega (just check the slide, you will see why) (3) Winchester 1300 Defender ==> Remington 870 Police Magnum (check shotgun discussion page and e.g. the rim between stock and casing)

In any way, thanks for getting this page on the road a few months ago. If you want to discuss this page, please leave a message on my talk page.

Cheers,
