File names

Please use distinctive file names for your uploaded images. If it's for Largo Winch, then you can name it "LW_HP_01.jpg" or something. Simply naming it "Hi Power 1.jpg" is confusing and can lead to files being overwritten. --Funkychinaman (talk) 16:33, 22 July 2013 (EDT)

Images

I noticed that you kept reverting an image. If this is because the image won't change to the one you uploaded then just give it some time since the site takes awhile for images to update.Mr.Ice (talk) 16:35, 27 July 2013 (EDT)

Lord of War

The nickel-plated AK from this movie does not appear in Typhoon. Why did you edit the page to say otherwise? I was briefly worried that you were engaging in vandalism, before I looked at your other contributions. Next time, please be more careful when making such edits. -MT2008 (talk) 20:36, 27 July 2013 (EDT)

Desert Eagle caliber

Don't go by what is marked on the slide of a Desert Eagle, but by the number stamped towards the front of the barrel. The .44 Magnum and .50 AE cartridges have the same case diameter which means that all that is needed to switch the caliber is to change the barrel and the magazine, hence the slide is the same for both calibers. I don't know if all Mark XIX Desert Eagles chambered in .44 or .50 are simply marked .50 on the slide or if this gun has been modified later, but as you can see from the markings at the front of the barrel it is currently a .44. Also, you can see that there is fluting (grooves) along the outside of the barrel, which are present on .44 barrels but not .50 AE ones. --commando552 (talk) 20:45, 28 July 2013 (EDT)

PPS-43 in The Last Cartridge

Hello! You made an edit in The Last Cartridge about PPS-43 with straight magazine. It cannot be Finnish M/44 because the magazines in PPS and M/44 are attached in different ways and the movie-used SMG has a PPS-style attached magazine. The shape of the receiver is also PPS, not M/44. Greg-Z (talk) 09:34, 3 August 2013 (EDT)

2012

Please crop the black bars from your uploaded screencaps and reupload. Thanks. --Funkychinaman (talk) 18:37, 22 September 2013 (EDT)

Your screenshot was not in the right aspect ratio and the black bars weren't cropped. I would suggest using VLC player to capture screenshots in the future. --Ben41 (talk) 03:45, 23 September 2013 (EDT)

Edits in Zvezda

You changed the entry for Mauser rifle to 98k. Are you sure that the screen rifles are really 98k? According to Firearms by Aleksandr Zhuk and Mauser Military Rifles of the World by Robert Ball, 98k rifles never had straight bolt handle. These rifles look more like Czech Mausers like Vz. 24 (or Vz. 23 in case of the rifle without grooves on the stock). Maybe you have some information about 98k that I don't know?

The rules doesn't allow to use here other language than English, but you can email me on [email protected] in order to discuss in Russian. My email adress is also on my user page. Greg-Z (talk) 15:04, 30 September 2013 (EDT)

Elysium

Please do not add any more low quality screenshots. I'm not sure what source you're using, but these do not appear to be in high definition. You can still write descriptions on the page, but please wait until the official US video release date to add any more photos. --Ben41 (talk) 15:04, 7 October 2013 (EDT)

Actor pages

The Petr Vins page lacks a screenshot where the actor is seen. That isn't recommended (Style Guide on Actor Pages, second paragraph). If you have no screenshot or production still where the actor is seen (preferably with some firearm in hands) then it's better not to create a page and keep a red link until a screenshot can be added (maybe from some other movie).
