Welcome to IMFDB

Before you do any editing please take the time to read the Rules, Standards and Principles. This is a very important document that explains how this website is setup as well as telling you what is and isn't allowed. If it is determined by an admin that you have not read these rules, your account will be suspended. Continued non-compliance may result in a permanent ban. After that you should also read the IMFDB Screencapping Guide and the IMFDB Style Guide to familiarize yourself with the image and formatting requirements for pages you create.

There are a number of pages that desperately need your help. You can find these Incomplete pages here.

If you have any questions, feel free to post them here but make sure to sign your post by typing --~~~~.

Finally, IMFDB has a forum set up here that is only available to registered members. There is lots of good stuff to see there. If you would like to join the forum, please post HERE and an account will be created for you.

Now, HAPPY EDITING! bunni (talk) 04:17, 7 December 2014 (EST)

The Cellar

Please upload screenshots for The Cellar. If you need instructions on obtaining screencaps, please refer to the IMFDB Screencapping Guide. Thanks. --Funkychinaman (talk) 12:25, 7 December 2014 (EST)

Do you not have a copy of this? --Funkychinaman (talk) 20:37, 7 December 2014 (EST)

File names

When uploading files, please use more appropriate names. For example, "White Fang Poster" would be a better name than "156171". Thanks. Greg-Z (talk) 10:14, 12 December 2014 (EST)

Uploads

What is the source of your Carnasaur uploads? Is there any way you can find some better quality sources? --Funkychinaman (talk) 00:48, 14 December 2014 (EST)

Screenshots

Please try to find higher quality resources for your future projects. The screenshots for Carnosaur and Pumpkinhead were very blurry and it was hard to see what the weapons were. If you need to grab screenshots directly off your computer screen, please find a screen capture program like Greenshot to take screenshot of your entire screen and use a picture program like Fast Stone Image Viewer to crop. You should also set your screenshot thumbnail from 600px to 400px because the lower quality screenshots only look worse when blown up to such a big size as 600px. --Ben41 (talk) 23:10, 14 December 2014 (EST)

Please reconsider making a page if you cannot find a legitimate high quality source for your screenshots. There may be a chance that your work on the page will be deleted because the quality is substandard. It states in the Rules, Standards and Principles: Images must have a minimum standard of quality. --Ben41 (talk) 07:50, 15 December 2014 (EST)

And please don't use bootlegs. --Funkychinaman (talk) 07:58, 15 December 2014 (EST)

I would recommend VLC player to capture your screenshots. --Ben41 (talk) 08:11, 15 December 2014 (EST)

Killer Crocodile

Please upload safe-for-work cover art for Killer Crocodile. Thanks. --Funkychinaman (talk) 16:07, 15 December 2014 (EST)

Out of curiosity, is there any cover art for that which doesn't include nudity? Evil Tim (talk) 07:31, 16 December 2014 (EST)

That's better, thank you. I was thinking we might have to figure out what to do if there wasn't one that was SFW, was all. Evil Tim (talk) 07:43, 16 December 2014 (EST)

Uploads

Please remember to properly tag your screenshots. This saves someone else from having to do it for you. Instructions are in the IMFDB Style Guide. I recommend reading the whole thing, there's a lot of useful information in there. Thanks. --Funkychinaman (talk) 09:25, 16 December 2014 (EST)

Once again, I'm asking you to properly tag your screenshots. Please see the instructions in the link above. Thanks. --Funkychinaman (talk) 10:42, 18 December 2014 (EST)

You can actually tag them as you're uploading. Just enter the information in the "Summary" field when you upload. This should save you some time. --Funkychinaman (talk) 11:09, 18 December 2014 (EST)

What you had before was just fine. [[Category: Screenshot]] or {{SS}} are the bare minimum. I usually include the film title as well. --Funkychinaman (talk) 11:23, 18 December 2014 (EST)

Blood Surf

Please find a better source of screencaps before creating a page for Blood Surf. Otherwise, the page will be deleted. Thanks. --Funkychinaman (talk) 18:25, 19 December 2014 (EST)

Did you crop these images? --Funkychinaman (talk) 18:33, 19 December 2014 (EST)

If you bought this DVD, then you may have gotten ripped off, as the aspect ratio is off. --Funkychinaman (talk) 18:38, 19 December 2014 (EST)

From what I can tell, there are two versions, the original 1.85:1 version and the 1.33:1 version. Your screenshots are not in either of those two. And Netflix Instant View has the 1.33:1 version. --Funkychinaman (talk) 18:46, 19 December 2014 (EST)

The German Amazon copy is advertised as 16:9, which is also not what you have. Please find better screenshots. --Funkychinaman (talk) 18:49, 19 December 2014 (EST)

You don't seem to get it, I don't want to watch this film. Don't do shoddy work and make others clean up after you. --Funkychinaman (talk) 18:57, 19 December 2014 (EST)

Gun images

Please pay more attention to the source of the gun images you're uploading. The source of the Mossberg Cruiser you uploaded earlier appeared to be this very website. --Funkychinaman (talk) 16:49, 2 January 2015 (EST)

Weapons ID

Please take a look at the cylinder release lever on revolvers before making ID's. The Smith & Wesson revolver has a different release than the one you identified in Sleepwalkers. --Ben41 (talk) 20:54, 2 January 2015 (EST)

Resistance 2

FYI, the page for Resistance: Fall of Man was deleted because it didn't have any real guns in it. Resistance 2 will face the same scrutiny. --Funkychinaman (talk) 20:23, 9 January 2015 (EST)

If you feel you have a case, then you can convince us. Make your case on the Main Page talk page. --Funkychinaman (talk) 21:28, 9 January 2015 (EST)

Gun Images

IMFDB isn't a collection of all and every gun image. Please upload only those gun images that are needed for articles (if we doesn't have such image already). Greg-Z (talk) 15:55, 18 January 2015 (EST)
