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.
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.
(And you will notice how much easier it is for me to have a conversation about these guns when I am calling them "MP" and "MP-C" - hence my preference for giving them a name with variant distinctions). -MT2008 (talk) 13:57, 16 January 2015 (EST)
See what I mean? You can tell that the top gun has a longer barrel and receiver than the bottom version. -MT2008 (talk) 14:05, 16 January 2015 (EST)
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)

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)

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)
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)
On second thought, let me do it. I got this covered. -MT2008 (talk) 15:07, 2 February 2015 (EST)

X-Files finalization
I'm done.. But I'm not! Well sorta. First off, I never think you're totally done on these kinds of things.. That said, I have finished the main pages especially the images and all (despite having to go back and get an episode worth of screencaps because my old computer, which for months I've been waiting to get back online, and did for a couple weeks, took a total shit on me the other day and might be fried for good.. Bah). Mostly the last set of cross linkings/listings for the gun pages and stuff is what's left, also toying with putting the Infoboxes on the pages.. We'll see. Otherwise, I've got the series pages more-or-less as complete as can be at this point, and I certainly am proud and happy about that. Hopefully we can get HD images for all of it in due course and we'll be totally tip-top. Meantime, though, I'm quite happy with what we got right now. I wanna thank you again for the help you've given on this, with the template and the HD caps for the first two seasons. StanTheMan (talk) 21:52, 9 February 2015 (EST)
RoboCop 2014
Do you have a lot of images you're planning to upload for this one? I only ask 'cause I watched it at the start of the month and took quite a few caps myself - They're HD caps and should look good once I finalize them proper - Just haven't had time to mess with it the last few days. If you plan on doing (or have done) a wide screencapping here it's good - Load 'em up and if there's any I got that you didn't do, I'll load those. If you got 'em all, no biggie. It's fine either way to me, just a heads up would be good. StanTheMan (talk) 00:09, 10 March 2015 (EDT)
Just started looking at my batch when I noticed a slight issue - It seems the streaming version has the film cropped to a 16:9 ratio and not 2.35:1 as the actual release.. I still got some good sharp images though, so I think I'll go ahead and load them up anyway. I have a log of the images so if you or anyone wants to update them with ones in the proper aspect ratio, they can at least be pinpointed. StanTheMan (talk) 17:50, 15 March 2015 (EDT)
They seem to be mostly cut off on the sides, but they do also have a bit extra on top and bottom when I compare to the existing ones. With that, I'll go ahead and upload them, as I said they are good shots, and I have a couple weapons in them that aren't presently listed. I'll get them all online later this evening if I can. StanTheMan (talk) 21:46, 15 March 2015 (EDT)

Adding credit eventhough weapon not used
Question: One of the actors in the movie "Aces High" is Simon Ward and he has his own page here on imfdb for other movies. In "Aces High" however he does not actually fire any weapon at all. Can I still make an entry on his page that he starred in "Aces High" eventhough he did not fire any weapon in it? Dudester32 (talk) 05:33, 20 March 2015 (EDT)

Hi Ben, just a short message to congratulate on the above pages that you put online earlier in the week. Must have been a massive job, but the pages look great! - PeeWee055 (talk) 03:05, 6 May 2015 (EDT)
American Ninja 2
Sorry, I have to ask: what was the reason of moving unidentified guns in AN2 to talk page? Wild Bill's revolver cannot be identified at all, and two other unidentified guns have more chance to be identified when they are on the movie page, as I don't think that many users scan talk pages in case there is something unidentified. At least we have a category Unidentified but discussion pages doesn't appear there while movie pages do. I still think that unidentified firearms must retain on the pages. Greg-Z (talk) 16:39, 7 May 2015 (EDT)
I agree that it's a good practice when the page is recently created, and numerous users visit it and discuss the problematic weapons. But I'm not so sure when it concerns a page that is here for some time (sometimes a very long time). But OK, let it be if you think that it's a better way. Maybe in such case it's worth to add the talk page to Unidentified category? Greg-Z (talk) 16:49, 7 May 2015 (EDT)
