White Tiger
Sorry, your last edit in Tiger I Tank section is a little incorrect. The exact replica of Tiger was build specially for filming, but due to some reasons it was completed too late and wasn't used, while the screen Tiger is a vismodded IS-2. So the caption for Belyy tigr-Tiger.jpg "Replica of the German Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger I tank which must was be used in the film" is correct, this image is of the proposed screen tank but not of the one that really appeared on screen.

Adding "The World Wars (miniseries)", which is part documentary and part live-action sequences
Can the miniseries "The World Wars" be eligible to be added onto this site? Its part documentary from interviews of experts, but it also contains live action sequence depicting life in WWI and WWII with actors and all.

Timecop Custom Assault Pistol
Hey, I am glad you finally made a page for these guns. However, I am not sure that "Timecop Custom Assault Pistol" is a good name for them because as far as I can tell, Felcan Enterprises (the armory that owns the guns) built them long before Timecop. Those guns appeared in episodes of The X-Files and The Highlander (the 1992 TV series) before they were in Timecop.
I think we should just go ahead and give the guns a name. Since they were made by Tom Felcan's company, we should call them the "Felcan MP" or something like that. Also, keep in mind that there are two variants of the gun - long- and short-barreled versions. I propose that we call them "Felcan MP" and "Felcan MP-C". It will be a lot easier than writing out, "Timecop Custom Assault Pistol" for every page on which they appear. -MT2008 (talk) 13:08, 16 January 2015 (EST)
- Also, a lot of the information you wrote in the summary is not correct. Tom Felcan used to have fake MP5Ks in their inventory, but those guns are a different type of weapon, and Felcan is a Canadian armory, so import restrictions in the U.S. are irrelevant. I will re-write the summary in a bit. Still, this is a good start, and I am glad we have a page for those guns now. -MT2008 (talk) 13:16, 16 January 2015 (EST)
- You raise a good point - they could have been made for Timecop and used on those shows before filming on Timecop began. But I'm still skeptical because there are two versions of the gun, and only one version appears in Timecop (the short-barreled version). I doubt that they would have built two types of guns for the same movie if only one type actually appeared in the film, though I suppose it's not impossible. But I still suspect they were made for another sci-fi movie that we haven't seen yet.
- I still think we should name the guns just so that we don't have to refer to them as "Timecop Custom Assault Pistol" constantly. It's too awkward to write out, and the guns have been in so many movies and TV shows that I think they qualify for a fictional name. Kinda like the way we refer to the rifles from Deep Rising as the M1-L1 (their name in that movie) on that weapon's page - and those guns were also built by Tom Felcan's armorers. -MT2008 (talk) 13:36, 16 January 2015 (EST)
- Yeah, I realize you were following that convention, but this is a case where I think the name you chose would just be too awkward. Plus, the name on the page fails to distinguish between the two variants of the gun. As Stan and I agree, we need to have a name that makes it easy to distinguish between them.
- Compare the two pictures that you posted - the short-barreled version is the one that appears in Crying Freeman, while the long-barreled version was in Smallville. Both guns use the same lower receiver and magazine well, but the long-barreled version (Felcan MP) has a front sight, which the short-barreled version (MP-C) lacks. The MP also seems to have a flash hider as standard, while the MP-C only has a MAC-10-style threaded barrel (though in Timecop, it has a custom barrel shroud). You can also see other distinctions - see how the front of the receiver on the MP has four elongated slits, while the MP-C has six holes? The back of the receiver on the MP is also longer than the MP-C.
- Compare these two silhouette views:
- Either way, it means that there are essentially two versions of the gun with different upper receiver units, so I think we'll want to distinguish between them. Same as we would for MP5 variants, for instance (i.e. an MP5A2 and MP5A3 are the same gun with different stock types). -MT2008 (talk) 14:21, 16 January 2015 (EST)
William B. Davis page
Thanks for that, I had planned to make it today but the sudden stomach bug I got last night had other plans for me... There's an entry or two missing, but otherwise, appreciate you starting this one for me. StanTheMan (talk) 19:21, 17 January 2015 (EST)
Screenshot ratio
I'm sorry, I don't understand, what I doing wrong? In my DVD this ratio was 720 × 360 pixels. So, I dont understand, what is correct ratio. Please, change one screenshot to correct size, and I correct and reupload another. Pyramid Silent (talk) 10:16, 19 January 2015 (EST)
Forum
Hey, Ben, when you get a chance, please send me a PM on the forum. Have some info to share. -MT2008 (talk) 13:22, 31 January 2015 (EST)
- Actually, on second thought, you can just take a look at the talk pages for both the (Timecop) - Custom Assault Pistol and (Smallville) - Custom SMG. -MT2008 (talk) 13:51, 2 February 2015 (EST)
- Since I have now confirmed that both the Timecop and Smallville/Battlestar Galactica guns are part of the same family of weapons, I think we need to merge those pages. It should be called "M91 series machine pistols" (not "assault pistol" - that's a VPC term that I prefer not to use). -MT2008 (talk) 15:00, 2 February 2015 (EST)
