I know you are new here and are trying to contribute, so can I make a friendly suggestion? Before you do any more work on the [[7554]] page, Take a look at the way these pages are supposed to be formatted. Take a look at [[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3]]. That is an example of a great page. Things in particular to notice, the size of the gun images, the size of the screenshots, the text that appears below both types of images and the descriptions of each gun. You're doing a great job and the best way to learn how this site works is trial and error. I cannot tell you how many times I've been chewed out by admins for doing stuff the wrong way. Take a look at that page and use it as a guide. :-) --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 16:42, 29 February 2012 (CST)

The Nambu Model II is a real gun but the photos that I removed from the Enlisted page were modern non-functioning replicas made by Japanese hobbyists. The real gun that the Enlisted model is based on is currently in an American private collection. [[User:Get Em Puppy|Get Em Puppy]] ([[User talk:Get Em Puppy|talk]]) 17:46, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
  
== Please change image size ==
+
== Redirects ==
  
Your image sizes are too big for the formatting of the page.  Please change your screenshots from "700px" to "500px".   Any real handgun images should be at "300px" and other weapons should be between "450px" or "500px". --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 23:36, 29 February 2012 (CST)

Please use redirects when possible. I believe this is covered in the Style Guide. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman|talk]]) 17:08, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

BEFORE you start a page, you need to have screenshots ready. Creating a page and uploading 3 images to it over the course of 2 days its not a working strategy. --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 17:03, 12 March 2012 (CDT)

Hello, wanted to ask what is the reasoning behind the capital "Wz." as should be supposed to be "wz." If I am not wrong. Here source from Łucnik FB Radom.

Screenshots I have only done very little time I put them on the page. Tomorrow I finish the article. :)

:The article still doesn't meet the requirements to be on the site. And when you respond to someone, post on THEIR talk page, not on your own. --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 17:56, 12 March 2012 (CDT)
 
::I don't know if it doesn't meet requirements (have you SEEN some of the games here?), but it'd be nice if there were some caps of actual game play. It's still early. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 18:03, 12 March 2012 (CDT)

I've noticed that you've uploaded a large amount of gun images over the past few months. Where exactly have you gotten them? Users are generally encouraged to cite the source of any outside gun image they upload. [[User:Pyr0m4n14c|Pyr0m4n14c]] ([[User talk:Pyr0m4n14c|talk]]) 15:46, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
  
In the future, if you are creating pages for video games, it would be best to provide a brief summary at the top of the page explaining what the game is and on what format it was released.  There has been a little bit of controversy because the two games you made pages for were unfamiliar and were mistaken for non-eligible projects.  --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 18:35, 13 March 2012 (CDT)

Anyone can edit a page and add photos, I started adding them because I was reminded of it when I saw it in the "Recent Changes" section of the site and remembered how no one had added the multiplayer-only weapons so I figured I'd add them since most people who play AA nowadays play the single player so they'd still miss the multiplayer-only weaponry.--[[User:Samz]] ([[User talk:Samz|talk]]) 14:00, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Except I've already added images of the Breda M30/Grenade Kar98k from multiplayer? there's no need to replace images that are already good enough.--Samz (talk) 15:06, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

In order to add a gun to this site it MUST have appeared in a movie, tv show or video game. --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 15:43, 20 March 2012 (CDT)

When you replace an image on a page, would you please upload the new image as a new version of the file it's replacing (i.e. click on the image and select "upload a new version of this file") instead of uploading a new file entirely and tagging the old one for deletion? Normally I wouldn't mind so much, but on a page like ''[[Enlisted]]'', where you have replaced seemingly every image on the page at one point or another, it gets a bit tiresome deleting several hundred images. [[User:Pyr0m4n14c|Pyr0m4n14c]] ([[User talk:Pyr0m4n14c|talk]]) 00:59, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
:I know you are trying and I respect the fact that you don't speak English, but it is impossible to understand what you are saying. Changes in page format cannot be made without admin approval. If you have an idea, post it in the forum or in the [[Talk:Main_Page|Main Page Talk]]. --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 16:34, 20 March 2012 (CDT)
 
:If you are looking for stuff to work on, work on converting pages from the old list format to tables. You can start with the [[MP40]] if you like. --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 16:36, 20 March 2012 (CDT)

Again I would say, rather then focusing on changing the existing format that has been decided on by the admins, you can work on cleaning up pages. The [[MP40]] page still has the occurrences in list format. You could work on converting it to the new table format. --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 15:31, 21 March 2012 (CDT)

Hey man. I noticed you had created a couple of gun pages and added specs. The Specification format that you are using is different from the majority of pages.

:Sorry but I can't understand half of what you are saying. The template that we are currently using is the one that has been approved by the admins. If you want to change that you will need their approval. In the mean time, please use this format. --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 14:36, 3 May 2012 (CDT)

Sorry, but I am changing my mind about this template.  Please do NOT use the new template at this time.  I am going to discuss this with the other admins before the template will be again approved.  --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 19:13, 3 May 2012 (CDT)
 
 
 
== MP40 ==
 
 
 
When you convert a page from list format to table format (as you did with the [[MP40]]) part of the job is to put the entries in chronological order (least recent first) and to add all missing dates. Even if the date is not listed on the site, you need to track it down on the internet. This is part of the job. --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 20:35, 6 May 2012 (CDT)
 
:Bad. Look at the [[Thompson Submachine Gun]]. You need to include ALL the dates and put them in order. --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 13:30, 7 May 2012 (CDT)
 
::Do you understand what I mean? --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 18:52, 8 May 2012 (CDT)
 
Forget it. Since you clearly weren't going to fix it, I went ahead and did it. --[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann08]] 19:10, 10 May 2012 (CDT)
 
 
 
==Black Bars AGAIN==
 
You were asked to crop  your black bars from your screenshots previously (in April).  You have just created a new page with all screenshots with huge black bars.  Please fix this or your page will be deleted.  [[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] 14:48, 20 May 2012 (CDT)
 
 
 
== Max Payne 3 ==
 
 
 
I know on the PS3 version if you pause the game you can press a button (forget which) to dismiss the pause menu and then manually rotate the camera to look at a still of the action. Should let you get some great shots if it's on the PC version too. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 00:59, 13 June 2012 (CDT)
 
 
 
There is no such thing. On the PC enters the Pause menu.--[[User:Mateogala|Mateogala]] 03:31, 13 June 2012 (CDT)
 
 
 
:Just as a note: I already went through that page and fixed a few IDs you put back. The Desert Eagle is a hybrid with a Mark VII barrel and a Mark XIX slide and the G6 Commando is a G36 with the furnishings altered so it looks a bit like an FX-05; the ejection port is in completely the wrong place for it to actually be one. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] 02:21, 14 June 2012 (CDT)
 
 
 
== Why? Why? WHY?! ==
 
 
 
So you told DanTheViking that he should not remove your images when he adds new pics to the Max Payne 3 page, yet you remove ALL of Mazryonh's screencaps on the GRAW 2 page, thus replacing the text he wrote with some generic bullshit?! I am gonna ask you nicely now: PLEASE ADD THE IMAGES BACK. - [[User:Bozitojugg3rn4ut|bozitojugg3rn4ut]] 05:16, 20 June 2012 (CDT)
 
:Hmm, I don't really understand what you're saying. I don't mind if you add a million screencaps just don't remove the old images. The image captions contain useful stuff. As for the console-only weapons; just because you cannot add screenshot you should not remove them. A dude might come one day with a capture card and he can finish the page. - [[User:Bozitojugg3rn4ut|bozitojugg3rn4ut]] 07:24, 20 June 2012 (CDT)
 
 
 
:: Mateogala, your screenshots are still there.  You can add your images, but do NOT remove the ones already there.  --[[User:Ben41|Ben41]] 17:34, 20 June 2012 (CDT)
 
 
 
== GR:FS ==
 
 
 
Okay, here is the deal: I put a LOT of effort to the GRFS page, ever since the first trailer. The last thing the page needs is adding images where you have obviously HACKED the magazine capacity. Makes the site/page look bad. What graphical settings are you using? Looks medium graphics to me.  I am waiting for my my video card. When I get it I will upload some true HD shots. Also, the page looks stupid if there are only images of the shooting range. I am planning to add images from MP, story, co-op, and Guerrilla. Not to mention that every caption says "FN FNP-45 Tactical in game." ? How about you leave the page for ME to finish? Can we make a deal? - [[User:Bozitojugg3rn4ut|bozitojugg3rn4ut]] 10:40, 2 July 2012 (CDT)
 
:WTF?! I dont need screenshots of the game. I have the game I can take screenshot myself. --[[User:Bozitojugg3rn4ut|bozitojugg3rn4ut]] 10:56, 2 July 2012 (CDT)
 
::These images are not even from the game. And why would anyone want to upload 8 images of a floating pistol when there is a limit of 10 image per weapon. The problem is that you are looking at this from the wrong perspective: The purpose of imfdb is not to make a list of every weapon in a film or game. The purpose is to point out the inaccuracies the developers made. Like that the Five-seveN holds 18 bullets in a 30-round magazine, or that the C-Mag only holds 75 instead of 100, or smaller mistakes like that the guy pulls the charging handle of the ACR while he could hit the bolt catch release button. Of course one has to know stuff about weapons to find these things. - [[User:Bozitojugg3rn4ut|bozitojugg3rn4ut]] 11:19, 2 July 2012 (CDT)
 
:Please realize that Ghost Recon Network IS NOT a video game. It is a tool. You can create weapons, but you cannot use them. It is like pimp my gun. Even if it was a game, it runs in a web browser, and those are not allowed either. Be aware of that the mods will delete that page. - [[User:Bozitojugg3rn4ut|bozitojugg3rn4ut]] 11:57, 2 July 2012 (CDT)
 
 
 
Did you read the first sentence in that video? GRN is a '''service''' for GRFS players. It is not a game. It is like Call of Duty ELITE. A social '''network''' for GR players. Like facebook with guns. - [[User:Bozitojugg3rn4ut|bozitojugg3rn4ut]] 12:11, 2 July 2012 (CDT)

If this game hasn't been released yet, where did you get all the screenshots? --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 06:28, 22 August 2012 (CDT)
 
:That's what I figured. You should probably note that on the page. Thanks. --[[User:Funkychinaman|Funkychinaman]] 06:36, 22 August 2012 (CDT)
