Matewan

I had to delete the page for Matewan since there was nothing there. Please refer to the IMFDB Style Guide for help on creating pages. You may also refer to the IMFDB Screencapping Guide for help on obtaining screencaps. Thanks. --Funkychinaman (talk) 11:57, 6 April 2014 (EDT)

Thanks for your feedback. I am a first time contributor. I don't understand there being nothing there. I created a table with firearm, actor and scene populated with 4 actors their scenes and firearms. I marked it "incomplete" as per the rules with the intention that others would contribute. Matewan is a great film with many actors using many firearms of the period.

The table was certainly original, but it's not how we make pages. First day incomplete pages are basically asking others to do 90% of the work. Without screenshots, the only help we could provide is formatting, and the page would still be miles away from being finished. --Funkychinaman (talk) 12:18, 6 April 2014 (EDT)

I'm sorry for having created a problem. I intended to keep returning and improving as my site skills improved. I have ordered a copy of the film to get the screenshots which will take a few days. I'd like to try again, or maybe someone more experienced could start the page so I could add to their work.

I'll restore the page on the discussion page and you can work on it slowly. Like I said, check out the two guides above, they're written for new users such as yourself. You may also try out the templates page I'm working in. --Funkychinaman (talk) 12:34, 6 April 2014 (EDT)

Many thanks.
