RE:

It is interesting about them two editing just certain pages. If I remember right when MT2008 banned POI, I think he banned certain IP addresses he was using, I don't think Burt's IPs matched. But they are both in Cali. They were on the forums about the same time posting, they may have made replies back to each other. I don't remember. Hopefully the other mods will come to a decision on the RPG issue.--Predator20 09:13, 15 April 2011 (CDT)

Hi, Tim, I have to present some of my research today (I'm in grad school), so I apologize for being so busy yesterday and today, but quick update:

(1.) I think I got you approved to post on the forum. Try it now and see if it works.

(2.) I did used to think that Burt might be PoI re-incarnated, and he certainly sounds like PoI sometimes, but I haven't been able to be sure of this. Being stubborn and argumentative is not a personality trait exclusive to PoI, and Burt hasn't demonstrated some of the other personality traits that made PoI so unlikable (in my opinion, anyway). That being said, PoI was quite technically competent (setting up sock puppet accounts after he got banned), so it's not impossible that he and Burt are the same person. But as Brian told you, their IPs were very, very different.

(3.) We'll get to the bottom of the Type 69 issue. Promise. :)

-MT2008 09:26, 15 April 2011 (CDT)

I'm not sure why you haven't been approved on the forums. Are you using a free e-mail like Yahoo, Gmail? I don't have approval privileges on the forum. So I get "don't have permission" message when viewing your name, despite being a mod. Matt (MT2008) has a little bit more rights. So he may be able to help. But he's dealing with school, so just be patient.

On another note, Burt didn't start making edits on the wiki until after he was temp banned from the forum, if I remember right (Matt did the banning). I ended up temp banning him on the wiki too for being a smartass. He's gotten better about things, but he still ends up rubbing people the wrong way.--Predator20 10:54, 15 April 2011 (CDT)

Re: Re: Call of Duty World at War

By your definition, what's to stop people from listing every single howitzer, tank cannon, and other heavy artillery piece imaginable on this site? We have to draw the line somewhere. Orca1 9904 08:02, 5 May 2011 (CDT)

In that case, I guess we should get to work listing every time a Tiger tank shows up with its' 88mm gun in a WW2-themed article or when an Abrams fires its' M256 120mm gun in a modern film. You up for cluttering the pages with that extraneous, unnessicary info? Orca1 9904 08:25, 5 May 2011 (CDT)

Don't bother blanking them. Or marking them. When I delete them, it will only show their contributions and I can double check the ip to make sure I banned it. Talk pages are okay and just revert full pages and we will protect them against further action.--Predator20 08:53, 11 May 2011 (CDT)

The M2 Browning is mounted on the M48 Patton Tank, but you maybe know a better picture

maybe its better to just use an standard M2 browning picture, the picture i uploaded isn't the best if you understand--WorldofTanks 12:19, 3 June 2011 (CDT) thx for the upload it looks better now

Shinji Mikami‎

On IMDB, I only see that he's directed video games. All the directors credited on the site have either two or more films represented on the site or is also an actor who has used a firearm in a production. --Ben41 01:41, 14 June 2011 (CDT)

Adding game directors as a category is getting way too far away from the original purpose of the site. --Ben41 02:06, 14 June 2011 (CDT)

Pagecounter

How do the pagecouter works on this wiki ?

Trademark

Though it's not absolutely necessary, for the longest times people thought Muzzelite was the name of a GUN not the cover. And then people started naming Muzzelite as a generic term for other aftermarket bullpup kits, which it is not. Muzzelite IS a tactical aftermarket accessories company that is independent from Ruger. and their most famous contribution to society is a trademarked line of bullpup kits. at the time the TM was just a way to break people from the bad habit of using the Muzzelite as a generic firearm term, that's all. You're overthinking it. This all happened YEARS before you were a member so don't worry about it. MoviePropMaster2008 14:24, 27 June 2011 (CDT)

M8A1

You are correct, your photos are proof that the M8A1 is the base chassis, but I ask where did you get your information? You state that you did research. Did another source correctly identify the tanks? I only ask because the guys at Veluzat themselves erroneously identified the chassis as M48s on the DVD and to me personally. Now you have proven them wrong, but I want to know where else on the net the correct info has been listed. MoviePropMaster2008 01:46, 29 June 2011 (CDT)

jeez, you send me a message right when I'm fixing the page already..... LOL. I was doing it already :D MoviePropMaster2008 01:48, 29 June 2011 (CDT)

Though some state that the M8A1 is a derivative of the M41, I wonder how much. The M8A1 has 6 main bogey wheels and four return rollers. The M41 & M42 have only FIVE Main bogey wheels and three return roller. That indicates a completely different frame. Just noting. MoviePropMaster2008 14:55, 29 June 2011 (CDT)

Help needed

Hi. I'm working on a page for the film "Derailed". There was a S&W pistol, what the detective ID'd as a Smith & Wesson Model 5906. However it had those bigger sights, like the one on this image:

File:Pix1264003015.jpg

Smith & Wesson 5906 - 9mm

It this a very early M5906? I thought I ask you since you visit the site every day, and know a lot about guns. :) Thanks in advance. P.S.: I added an image of a WW2 "thing" onto the talk page of Clive Barker's Jericho. You have any idea what that is? - bozitojugg3rn4ut 09:55, 5 July 2011 (CDT)

Never mind, I figured out that Smith and Wesson thing... - bozitojugg3rn4ut 14:31, 5 July 2011 (CDT)

Thanks a lot for the help with that shitty WW2 gun. I thought it will be some kind of mortar or something like that. I think it should not be added to the page, what do you think? I also added the M26 MASS, I found in the manual that it is an "XM-26 semi-auto shotgun", LOL. Just a little trivia: I was really disappointed with F3AR (and I think you were also - at least that's what I've figured out of the talk page), but this game is pretty sick, I bought it in 2008 but haven't played it till now. I played it tru 5 times in the last week. - bozitojugg3rn4ut 06:00, 6 July 2011 (CDT)

D-War

Unless you know for sure with a verifiable source be careful NOT to declare it as a definite fact. The reason why I said that is I recently went by a movie tank farm where they had lightweight Abrahms 'dummies' that ran on some sort of small vehicle for deep background shots. Sure, lots of movies like to CGI duplicate but there are some times when the film wants people interacting with the tanks in the distance. Thanks for the note though. :D MoviePropMaster2008 16:49, 5 July 2011 (CDT)

Re: Ace Combat

That's a good question. I have the PS2 titles in the series myself and have played the demo for AC6, but lack a means to take screenshots that wouldn't look like crap. Ideally, I'd like to see the weapon ports for each aircraft mentioned in the articles (ideally with the gun firing so as to show the viewer where the firing port is via the muzzle flash), but I know that might be a bit excessive with some of the games such as The Unsung War which has something like 16 aircraft that all use the M61 Vulcan cannon. If my ideal suggestion is not possible, then try to get the player characters' signature aircraft (F-14A Tomcat in AC5, F-22A Raptor in AC04, F-15C Eagle in AC Zero, F-16C Fighting Falcon & F-15E Strike Eagle in AC6, etc.). I greatly appreciate your interest in helping to complete these articles, and look forward to seeing your input on them. Orca1 9904 04:07, 6 July 2011 (CDT)

I would exercise caution with some of the ground vehicle weapons, as that can easily stray into territory not within the scope of the wiki. If you can find a tank or APC with a machine gun or a ZSU-23 AA gun, that's fine, but please avoid things like heavy artillery systems or large-caliber flak guns. There is also a screenshot I would like to see for the AC5 article, but it's extremely difficult to get; namely an image of the player's aircraft being engaged by a FIM-92A Stinger in "Powderkeg" with the Yuktobanian radio chatter that specifically mentions that weapon system by name. Orca1 9904 04:43, 6 July 2011 (CDT)

The 'tricky' part of the "Powderkeg" shot I mentioned is having that piece of dialogue appear at the same time as you're being engaged by said SAM. Both things happen at random during the mission if I remember correctly, so getting them to happen together so as to create a decent screenshot could be difficult. I also thought of another shot I would like to see for AC Zero; a pic of a Belkan BM-335 bomber firing its defensive M61 Vulcan armament (I've noticed that the BM-335 seems to be the only heavy bomber in the series thus far that has any defensive gun armament; the in-game B-52's & Tu-95's appear to have been 'neutered').

Rank changes

Navy ranks are abbreviated differently. Listing a US Navy Lieutenant as "Lt." is not correct. See the link. [2] --Funkychinaman 14:28, 8 July 2011 (CDT)

We're not talking about Jessica Biel or Josh Lucas, we're talking about their characters, who are US Navy Lieutenants. If we're going to bother listing their ranks, we might as well do it correctly. And as I said, "Lt." is not shorthand for a US Navy Lieutenant, "LT" is. If you want to write out the whole rank, go ahead. But if you're going to abbreviate it, then do it correctly. You noticed I left non-naval ranks alone. --Funkychinaman 14:44, 8 July 2011 (CDT)

I thought being correct trumped readability. "Lt." may be short for the *word* "Lieutenant," but we're talking about the specific rank. And it's not just an administrative choice, navy LTs a different grade than Army/AF/MC lieutenants, just as Army/AF/MC Captains are different than Navy/CG Captains. Using the proper abbreviations helps in differentiating them. [3] --Funkychinaman 15:12, 8 July 2011 (CDT)

"I don't know, if you're trying to educate people there's no point being correct if nobody understands you're correct..." Really? On the website that tracks *46* variants of what most people would just call a "Colt .45?" (And at least thirty variants of what laymen would just call an M16.) If you want to write out the full rank, go ahead, but keep in mind, the abbreviations do exist for a reason. And of course there are no hard feelings, we're resolving this like reasonable adults. As for Stealth, I think it A) REALLY deserved a good video game adaptation, B) felt like a fifth grader's attempt to remake "2001: A Space Odyssey," C) is an absolutely gorgeous, yet absolutely terrible film, like Pearl Harbor, and D) like Pearl Harbor, makes me wonder if the Navy leaves deciding whether or not to assist on a film to a chimp. --Funkychinaman 01:05, 9 July 2011 (CDT)

It is what it is. If people see a someone in a naval uniform with LT in front of his or her name, and can't figure out it's short of Lieutenant, then I don't know what we can do. If we can educate people, I think we should. (Just be happy there aren't any Rear Admirals here. Explaining RDML and RADM would be a pain.) Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the Ace Combat series. (I haven't had a PS2 in four years, and yet still have my copies of AC04, AC5, and Zero just in case I do get one again.) Considering it's taken them FOUR YEARS to make a console sequel to AC6, I'm willing to make room for a few clones, like a Stealth game. (As long as it's good. The HAWX series is really disappointing.) How desperate was I for another AC game? I actually thought about getting a Wii just so I can play Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces. --Funkychinaman 01:53, 9 July 2011 (CDT)

Yeah, those UAV missions were just lazy. And that just sums up the entire HAWX franchise. The gameplay is somewhat close to the AC series, but it just lacks polish. The cutscenes in HAWX 1 were some of the worst I've ever seen. BTW, I saw your note to Bunni about the cache issue. I got the same issue two weeks ago, but with a different user. I tried clicking on those same pictures you mentioned, and I'm in as a different, albeit logged out user. If I click back, I'm back in. --Funkychinaman 11:35, 9 July 2011 (CDT)

There is no need for you to leave sarcastic comments on talk pages. Don't delete my comments and leave your saracasm on there. Grow up

There is no need for you to add that in the talk. What is the point of it? I'm going to delete it.

Don't removie my posts if your just complaing about people doing the same thing to you.

How to make new pages/articles

Hi there i may wanna create a page for the game "Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West"

My question is how i create new pages ?

Steyr AUG

Those images of soldiers using the gun in the field are not usable for 'gun images'. Sorry. Please remove them. We only allow stand alone images of guns, NOT news or media release photos of them in the field. MoviePropMaster2008 16:19, 11 July 2011 (CDT)

Doesn't matter if they offer a better view of the weapon. Even up to the big crew served weapons and gun platforms, IMFDB tries to put solo pics up, no pics from field use. Put those type of pics in the discussion page. Other than that, only sterile Gun only pics are allowed as gun photos on the gun pages and movie pages. Thanks. :) MoviePropMaster2008 16:43, 11 July 2011 (CDT)

Cloudflare

Good catch - I'm going to see if there's any way to exclude some pages from the cache and force them to update every time. bunni 19:28, 11 July 2011 (CDT)

Jason Lee

I'm opting not to make a page for Stealth's Jason Lee since he's only got one film credit. If there's a need, I'm leaning toward using the IMDB name of Jason Lee (IX). --Ben41 21:58, 11 July 2011 (CDT)

Stealth

The standard format for IMFDB is to start with the smallest weapons first and move towards bigger ones. The page as it is now is really jarring since the GUN PLATFORMS and CREW SERVED weapons are first. That's the opposite of how IMFDB pages have been traditionally.

He's done it again, and now I'm seriously starting to think that either he's intentionally doing it just to be annoying. I've brought this back up with Ben, and also have brought it to attention of Predator20 and JCordell. This has now started to tick me off and I'm starting to see it as a real problem. I want to know what this guy's deal is. StanTheMan 14:37, 17 July 2011 (CDT)

Profanity

The amount of offensive language should be kept at a minimum level in order to maintain the professionalism of the site. The quotes were removed because they were not overly important to the screencap. I don't think I'll be going through and removing all profanity, but I don't want users to ask why we allow profanity on the movie pages and not in discussions. --Ben41 02:35, 15 July 2011 (CDT)

It's a wee bit tough since all those Yugo AK variants are in a vault about 65 miles away from my home (though I live in a major metro area of California, the state government of CA won't allow those types of restricted weapons in major dense population centers, even though the movies are all shot here, but we know how stupid most politicians are.....)

Reason is that I created a page for the Bruni Magnum because it appeared in one of my movies. MPM suggested me to make that page a section of the Colt Python page because it is in fact a blank-firing copy of that revolver. I could not use 'move' and have automatic redirects created because that would mess up the Colt Python page.

Instead, I cut-and-paste my info to an additional entry in the Colt Python page but now I am left with a completely empty page (Bruni Magnum) that has no use but unfortunately this is where people get directed when they type in 'Bruni Magnum'. Sorry for the mess but do you have any suggestions how I cabn fix this. HELP!!! --PeeWee055 09:29, 26 September 2011 (CDT)

Your current IP address is 173.245.53.76, and the block ID is #2792.

I have never done any sort of spamming, at least not conciously. I haven't used any other name than my current "Duster32" on this site. Furthermore my IP adress isnt 173.245 (etc) but 83.253 (etc), the latter which is a Swedish IP, which is fitting as I am from Sweden. The spammers IP is apparently based in Brooklyn. I have no idea why my real IP isnt showing correctly on this site but I am not responsible for user "3f8WoqN8" actions.

First of all, You know waaaaaay more about guns than I do, and I might be off on this one:

The image shows how the bolt (I'm not even sure that's how it is called) locks back after Beckett tosses in the mag and he hits IT to return it to the front and be able to shoot dudes again. What do you think? - bozitojugg3rn4ut 13:03, 12 October 2011 (CDT)

Yeah, it is possible that he misses that thingy and hits the ACOG instead, but maybe the effort should be noted on the page, you know. Or the fact that the bolt locks back in that strange way after inserting the fresh magazine. - bozitojugg3rn4ut 14:14, 12 October 2011 (CDT)

The Rock

I'll take a look at it. --Ben41 16:10, 12 October 2011 (CDT)

Weapon Categories Guideline

Hi. Do you know if there is some kind of weapon categories guideline on IMFDB? Like which categories should be (SMGs with\without PDWs, Handguns encompassing Pistols and Revolvers, etc.), in which order (like Handguns first, then SMGs, ending with Fictional weapons or Explosives, etc.). Or is it to how editors prefer at any current moment? Bringing order to the pages would certainly help and trying to be a part of it. --Masterius 08:07, 13 October 2011 (CDT)

Congrats!

I guess this should be reason enough to maybe write down your password. --Funkychinaman 17:54, 18 October 2011 (CDT)

copyright

well actually I only started copyrighting the images explicitly after some ugly piracy issues between 2009-2010, but if you were here from the start, all the veteran members already knew that my pics were MY pics :D Putting the copyright all over the place is a recent trend, and I've been trying to over write a lot of the older pics with an explicit copyright but it takes time. Most of the members back in the day knew enough when they saw the quality and that I had uploaded it. They knew better than to over write it. Also when I load someone else's pic as a place holder I usually put a note on it that it's not mine. So, no I did not overlook anything. These image files are OLD, from the early days of IMFDB and it takes a while to over write over 700 original images. But I'll get to it. He is NOT correct though in overwriting the image that he did. :D Whether it is mine or not, the IMFDB rule is NOT to overwrite a superior image with a lesser quality image (whether it be lighting style, clarity or size). So in that respect, he was wrong. The usual procedure is to upload a NEW image, if for some reason a member feels strongly that an existing image doesn't represent the gun well. :) I know you're relatively new (compared to some of the OLD timers of the site hahahaha) so I thought I'd put that out there since it is something we've all done since 2008, but never really explained to anyone new. :D lol. Thanks for the note. :) MoviePropMaster2008 23:22, 18 October 2011 (CDT)
