Turning Point M1911

I went and checked my videos of Turning Point: the hammer is indeed always down regardless of what's going on. Evil Tim 01:55, 5 May 2011 (CDT)

No Spoilers

I noticed that your Girl Who played with Fire has a major spoiler. This is greatly frowned upon at IMFDB. Please change it. I could change it but we need to inform members that spoilers are looked down upon. Please see rules: re Spoilers. Thanks. :) MoviePropMaster2008 13:21, 26 May 2011 (CDT)

Please crop black bars

Before uploading, please crop the black bars from the sides or the top and bottom. Fast Stone Image Viewer is useful for this as well as Windows Paint. --Ben41 00:39, 2 June 2011 (CDT)

Dark Angel

I am posting these two images from Dark Angel Season 1. Unfortunately, they are not DVD quality (both are streamed), so I don't want to put them on the page for the show. But since you have the DVDs, I thought I would ask you if you'd be willing to get your own versions of these same caps, and then upload your own versions over mine. I have listed the episode as well as the time in which the images appear. I was especially surprised that you missed the second image, because it shows a very good close-up of the Jericho 941 (which makes it easier for IMFDB users to recognize it as such):

Season 1, Episode 7, "Blah Blah Woof Woof" - 17:42

Season 1, Episode 16, "Pollo Loco" - 21:44

Thanks. -MT2008 10:29, 28 July 2011 (CDT)

One other I forgot about - this image of the Vektor CP1:

Season 1, Episode 13, "Female Trouble" - 36:51

This is also an Easter Egg of sorts: "Felcan" is not a real ammo manufacturer; it refers to Felcan Enterprises, the name of the armory which supplied the weapons used on Dark Angel. -MT2008 10:44, 28 July 2011 (CDT)

Alright, sounds good. Thanks, -MT2008 12:01, 28 July 2011 (CDT)

No Spoilers

You may not realize that you're doing it again, but you're doing it with Hanna. Do not write any description which forecasts or reveals any major plot point and death or fate of a major character in the film. THanks. MoviePropMaster2008 15:38, 5 October 2011 (CDT)

Your User Front Page

You might want to remove that weird comment on your user page and perhaps add a little information about yourself. Now it's just odd to see what's on there now when users go to your page. --Ben41 06:36, 13 October 2011 (CDT)

Thanks!

Thank you for correcting my awful English in many articles. Greg-Z 23:41, 20 November 2011 (CST)

NCIS LA

I'm in the process of cleaning up the page, and it's evident by the amount of weapons used that the series needs to be split. Also, the fact that the series looks like it will continue for awhile also is a factor. --Ben41 13:12, 2 January 2012 (CST)

RE: Quick grammar lesson

Thank you. I am very ashamed for so many errors. :( I'll try not to repeat them. Greg-Z 23:44, 26 January 2012 (CST)

What version of Last Sentinel do you have?

You have scenes that are NOT in my version of the movie! Amazing. MoviePropMaster2008 22:07, 8 February 2012 (CST)

Heckler & Koch XM25

Why did you change the capacity of the Heckler & Koch XM25 on the Heckler & Koch page?? --Zackmann08 15:11, 6 April 2012 (CDT)

WIP

Remember, when you are working on a page, you need to add the {{WIP}} tag at the top of the page. --Zackmann08 12:25, 25 April 2012 (CDT)

Gallery...

Remember that when you create a gallery you need to add the </gallery> tag at the end of the gallery. (Nikita (2010)) --Zackmann08 12:39, 27 April 2012 (CDT)

21-gun salute.

Sorry for reverting your edit to Act of Valor. If you look at the explanation i posted on the discussion page you'll see it was a mistake. Thanks for teaching me something new! I'd never heard of a volley salute... --Zackmann08 23:55, 4 June 2012 (CDT)

Missing

Good start on the TV series Missing, but please go through and check your spelling on the pages. --Ben41 05:42, 28 June 2012 (CDT)

Incorrect Grammar

The particular user who's been having trouble with writing captions is using an online translator to form sentences, which is why these captions sometimes make little sense. I've already sent to a message to the user about this. --Ben41 (talk) 18:27, 11 February 2013 (EST)

If you look at the history for Diplomatic Siege, it's the same user who was using an online translator to form his English sentences. While I understand the frustration with fixing, I appreciate the effort in making pages. --Ben41 (talk) 19:37, 21 February 2013 (EST)

In Plain Sight

I moved the stuff from the main page to the In Plain Sight - Season 1 page. As you do the show, can you follow the format that is used for CSI: Miami - Season 10. Specifically, saying what episode you are talking about by referencing the episode name then (S0#E##). Also in the description of each image, if you can put (S0#E##) at the end that would be great. :-) I am going to start working on Season 4 tonight. If you have any questions or need anything let me know! --Zackmann08 (talk) 00:52, 2 March 2013 (EST)

Re:

And you don't need to treat me like an IMFDB novice. Once we get that straight, I'm all ears. Oh, and: 18-2=16, not 10.

And wtf is a "coma", other than a really unpleasant Sunday morning? --Warejaws (talk) 12:28, 14 March 2013 (EDT)

Oh, okay. 'Cause I googled that sh*t, thinking "that ain't right", and ended up on wikipedia, reading about the comma like; "that must be what he meant?.." :D

But yeah, mught as well cut a couple of 'em, so I went ahead an cut these:

Sniper Ghost Warrior 1 nad 2.

Why did you remove the internal links? Have them put back. Want to help? Correct grammatical errors. Do not delete the entire sentence. Do not remove the name of the manufacturer of weapons. Do not change the meaning of the description! --MTOOO (talk) 03:57, 21 March 2013 (EDT)

Edits

We have foreign users who are not fluent in English. You're just going to have to accept that. There's absolutely no excuse to be rude about it. --Funkychinaman (talk) 19:22, 21 March 2013 (EDT)

You took out a bit more than just bad grammar. I undid a few of your edits because they deleted the weapon links. These guys know they're not fluent, you don't have to rub it in their faces. I do understand the frustration though. --Funkychinaman (talk) 22:39, 21 March 2013 (EDT)

Yes I'm Polish. Unfortunately, my English is not the best. :)--MTOOO (talk) 10:10, 25 March 2013 (EDT)

Your corrections on Guardian Angel (Schutzengel)

Hi Mandolin, thanks for your comments about Guardian Angel (Schutzengel). Two things; firstly you were wondering why I mentioned ‘that she means business’ on the image for the H&K P30 where the girl takes out the magazine. Point is that in this scene, the police believe she’s holding a toy gun and she takes out the magazine to show the bullets. Yes, I agree it’s stupid but it looks dramatic and that’s what counts in most movies. For your info, I revised the subscript underneath that picture. Secondly, I see you removed much of my text. Don’t get me wrong, in most cases it’s a case of ‘less-is-more’ and I am thankful but what was your idea? Did I give too much information or something? If that’s the case, please let me know and I will take care for future movies. Thanks, PeeWee055 (talk) 14:57, 18 April 2013 (EDT)

Okay, I see what you mean. Will keep my comments shorter and more to-the-point, I know I tend to be too enthusiastic, PeeWee055 (talk) 11:04, 19 April 2013 (EDT)

Him, her ...

I know, sorry ...

Image taken from Alpha

Whenever I add images to the ArmA 3 page with screenshots I've taken from the Alpha build of the game, I make a note. Once the game is fully released, I'll replace them with shots taken from the final game, as they may be subject to change. Just a thing of mine. :) Dannysaysnoo 21:25, 27 May 2013 (GMT)

Chain Saw

You should be getting warnings that you're uploading a duplicate file, which you've done twice already. --Funkychinaman (talk) 12:52, 12 August 2013 (EDT)

Zastava M70B1 in 'A Dangerous Man'

Thanks for your corrections in the description for above gun. Your version is indeed much clearer, to be honest I don't have a clue what an 'abductor tube' is, guess I copied it from somewhere :-)

On another note, I see your link to the gun page is Zastava M70B1 (with 'B1' included), whereas my link was Zastava M70B1. The section is called 'Zastava M70' so my initial thought was that your link, not being the exact name of a section, would lead to nowhere. Can you please let me know why it works nevertheless? Thanks for your time and info, PeeWee055 (talk) 08:59, 13 October 2013 (EDT)

In case you wanted to know more about how the redirects and section links like this work, I have attempted to explain it on PeeWee055's talk page. --commando552 (talk) 17:57, 13 October 2013 (EDT)

If you're going to remove screencaps, please put them on the talk page. Thanks. --Funkychinaman (talk) 18:53, 13 October 2013 (EDT)

CoD

Do not change the articles. Regulations provides for up to 10 screens on one weapon. Do not change anything. --MTOOO (talk) 18:36, 29 November 2013 (EST)

Please pay close track of this person. Removes screenshots of articles. Interferes with the rules and destroys resources.

Remove even one screenshot, and your profile will be submitted administrator.--MTOOO (talk) 18:42, 29 November 2013 (EST)

My grammar is bad because I'm Polish. And He speaks Polish language every day, and not English.--MTOOO (talk) 18:49, 29 November 2013 (EST)

This wait and do not change anything. --MTOOO (talk) 19:02, 29 November 2013 (EST)

The stated maximum number of screenshots for a section is ten, not two. While having most views of the weapon covered is a little unusual, it is not unprecedented, and is not against any rule. Please stop removing the additional shots. Also, do not edit war with other users, we don't have a formal 3-revert rule but you should discuss things rather than just hitting revert over and over.

MASH: Removing Screenshots

If there are excess screenshots, please put these in the discussion section as these may be put back in the future should the series be divided into seasons. The reason why there were so many screenshots was because entries were placed for each season. --Ben41 (talk) 02:22, 29 March 2014 (EDT)

I just haven't gotten to it yet. You can help out by adding entries yourself if you're concerned about completion. --Ben41 (talk) 05:23, 20 March 2017 (EDT)

RE: Rifle grenades

Appreciate the links. I concur the point about injury is often embellished, hence why I toned that part down some. That said, many grenades - and I would certainly say flares particularly - are generally NOT shot lower than 45 degrees, so the rest of it seems a bit apples and oranges to me. In any case, I've no problem with just omitting the extra detail entirely as you've done, just simpler all-around. StanTheMan (talk) 01:17, 8 August 2017 (EDT)
