Elfen Lied edit

Two things; 1.) please try to use proper grammar and punctuation, and 2.) make sure any additional images you add to pages are placed under the correct listing. The MP5 in that screencap does not have an M203 attachment, ergo it does not belong under the "with M203 attachment" listing. Also, try to avoid spoilers, such as mentioning that Kamuzawa isn't human.--PistolJunkie (talk) 20:07, 14 December 2012 (EST)

Okay, look; the whole video game tidbit is some fun trivia, but it's not part of the show and its not a piece of promo media like a trailer. As such, it needs to go on it's own page. Also, you put the MAC-10 in the "Rifles" listing. Do you see anything wrong with that?--PistolJunkie (talk) 14:26, 3 January 2013 (EST)

I'm sorry, if doing something wrong. I don't understand you. You say, that I should create a new article to this game I shall create this page. But, why I cant put information of this game to the section at the main article?--Pyramid Silent (talk) 03:22, 5 January 2013 (EST)

Because the game and the show are not the same thing by any means. And on top of that, you listed a submachine gun as a rifle. Also, do you have anay further information about this game? Because judging from the screencap and the graphics I'm suspecting that it's not even an official licensed game, and fanmade games are not allowed on IMFDB.--PistolJunkie (talk) 17:35, 6 January 2013 (EST)

It's not a fanmade game. I have official site of the company, who created this game, but I can't read japanese. If it necessary, I shall create article for this game, but in this game Mac-10 is the only firearm, that can be identified.--Pyramid Silent (talk) 06:49, 7 January 2013 (EST)

Anaconda

In the future, please find higher quality sources for your screenshots (DVD or Blu-ray) please. --Ben41 (talk) 18:11, 9 January 2013 (EST)

I'm sorry, but I didn't found this film in a good quality.--Pyramid Silent (talk) 18:30, 9 January 2013 (EST)

The Marsh

We're working on identifying the revolver now. Meanwhile, we have an entire gallery of Derringers, so get cracking. --Funkychinaman (talk) 16:07, 4 June 2013 (EDT)

Aside from working a bit harder to actually identify the guns, two things: 1) Please use unique file names, like "TheMarsh_revolver_01.jpg" or something like that, and 2) Please try not to give away any plot points in your descriptions. --Funkychinaman (talk) 16:39, 4 June 2013 (EDT)

Ok, and thank you very much for identifying revolver. I can't identify the submachine gun, but I know that a very rare model of this type of arms equipped the optical sight. Pyramid Silent (talk) 16:45, 4 June 2013 (EDT)

Night of the Dead

Please take s moment to crop and reupload "Night of the Dead gun 2.jpg." Thanks. --Funkychinaman (talk) 09:11, 22 July 2013 (EDT)

OK--Pyramid Silent (talk) 13:10, 23 July 2013 (EDT)

Making Pages

I understand that you may have problems with English, but please try your best to check your spelling and grammar for the pages that you create. It would be best to not write film descriptions at the top as they are very confusing to read. You also do not need to list how many firearms were used in the movie. The page for The Hitchhiker has been changed for your future reference. --Ben41 (talk) 14:12, 24 July 2013 (EDT)

Sorry for my English, I'm from Russia. I can't find mistake in my pages, because my English is very bad T_T. I have some question about The Hitchhiker film. You wrote that firearms in this film are non gun. Are you shure? I saw a fire when the shooter fires his gun. If this guns were a replicas it couldn't be load an ammo even blank. I can't understand: are the gunshot fire was made by computer or it was a reali gunshot.--Pyramid Silent (talk) 16:09, 24 July 2013 (EDT)

A Non Gun is a replica that emits a flashpaper spark that resembles a muzzle flash, and is less dangerous than firing a real blank. It may be hard to read with an online translator, but I have corrected the English grammar on The Hitchhiker page. Please use this if you make future pages. --Ben41 (talk) 17:22, 24 July 2013 (EDT)

The Hitcher II

Sorry, but your source for the film appears to be of very bad quality so identification is very difficult. The ejection port for the Mossberg is more like a rectangle and the Remington 870 is rounded at the ends. Take a look at the pictures on the 12 Gauge Pump Shotgun page for more comparison. Those screenshots of the revolvers are very similar to the S&W Model 10. --Ben41 (talk) 04:45, 26 July 2013 (EDT)

Medicopter 117 - Jedes Leben zählt

Is Medicopter 117 - Jedes Leben zählt - film a movie version of the series? Do you plan on doing pages for the series as well?

Please do not make a template unless you plan on doing this.

Also, you need to cut off the black bars on the left and right of your screen shots. --Ben41 (talk) 04:18, 7 August 2013 (EDT)

This is a film, which was made as prequel to the first season of this serial (a pilot film). I have the first, second and third seasons and this film. This series contain one film and seven seasons, but another four seasons weren't translated to russian and I can't find it. But, I want creates articles to the film and three seasons, so I created this template. Pyramid Silent (talk) 05:48, 7 August 2013 (EDT)

Please pay attention to your words. You are leaving out letters that are making it very frustrating to correct. Also, a few more things to remember:

1. Descriptions are written above the image of the gun.

2. Bombs and Explosives are not to be included on the page as these are generally fake. Grenades are okay to put on the page.

3. Images that are not widescreen should be at 500px, not 600px.

I have corrected the pages for your future reference. Please also refer to the IMFDB Screencapping Guide and the IMFDB Style Guide. If you are able to use it, I would recommend downloading and trying VLC player for playback and screen capture. --Ben41 (talk) 18:31, 7 August 2013 (EDT)

I'm sorry, but I don't understand a few things.

1) You wrote, that grenades are may be useful on the articles. At the third season are exist a lot of mines. If i shall add it to the my future article, I shall do something wrong? 2) You wrote, that my images should be at 500px, not high. I don't understand, I should scaling my images or not? And may I don't scaling image with Paint, but use |thumb|none|500px|]] not high? Also, for I used GomPlayer or Windows Media Player for watching films, and button Print Screen for capturing image. I'm sorry, but I can't download VLC player, because I have a very lowspeed internet T_T Pyramid Silent (talk) 05:06, 9 August 2013 (EDT)

VLC and FastStone Image Viewer would improve the quality of your screencaps. As we pointed out in the screencapping guide, both are free and have portable versions available. Combined, they're only 27 MBs to download, so even if you were on a 56K modem, it should only take a bit more than an hour. --Funkychinaman (talk) 10:37, 9 August 2013 (EDT)

I understand, that this programs can help me to improve the quality of the screenshots, but my all my DVD copys are unlicensed and it is a very bad quality, so this programs are useless. Pyramid Silent (talk) 05:59, 10 August 2013 (EDT)

Please do not use unlicensed DVD's for your screenshots because as you mentioned they are usually of bad quality. --Ben41 (talk) 14:16, 13 August 2013 (EDT)

Colleague Pyramid Silent, If you need help with screencapping in Windows Media Player, I can help. I allways use this programm and have good results. If you wish you can email me on gereint at gmail.com, so we'll discuss this problem in Russian. Greg-Z (talk) 15:23, 13 August 2013 (EDT)

Thank you very much! When I shall come to the Moscow (now I stay at the village) I shall use a high speed internet. At those time I can email you, and download useful program. Pyramid Silent (talk) 07:07, 22 August 2013 (EDT)

Piranha

You're not using a camrip, are you? --Funkychinaman (talk) 12:52, 13 August 2013 (EDT)

Movie Sources

The sources you are using for your screenshots do not appear to be High Definition or High Quality DVD's. Please do not use any more low quality sources for your screenshots. --Ben41 (talk) 11:38, 23 August 2013 (EDT)

Sorry me for using bad quality images. When I shall come to Moscow (at the present time, I stay in the village), I shall use high speed internet. At those time, I shall find a better sourses and reupload some bad quality images to better quality. Pyramid Silent (talk) 07:46, 24 August 2013 (EDT)

The Skeleton Key

I've changed the movie page for The Skeleton Key with improved screenshots. These were taken from the American DVD using VLC player. Use the page for future reference on how a proper movie page should look. Please do not do a new movie page if the quality of screenshots cannot meet these standards. --Ben41 (talk) 14:27, 23 August 2013 (EDT)

Pirahna and others

Hi! As I said before, you can email me if you need any help. And as a good advice: don't use the word "download" when it concerns the movies. :) I think you understand why it is. :) Greg-Z (talk) 13:44, 7 September 2013 (EDT)

Please email me: [email protected]. Any language except English isn't welcome here on discussion pages, so I'll remove the text that you've put in Russian. I'll examine the Medicopter page but I haven't seen this TV series so it will be hard to say something. Greg-Z (talk) 14:18, 7 September 2013 (EDT)

Medicopter Season 3

I looked through the page. The first pistol has grip safety so it is M1911A1, not M1911. The third pistol is not a Walther but a Heckler & Koch P9S. Jorge's pistol is also M1911A1. Karl Krebs' pistol is also a Heckler & Koch P9S. HK MP5s look more like standard MP5A5s rather than suppressed MP5SD - they are fitted with underbarrel devices (flashlights, I suppose) so the barrels look thicker. Greg-Z (talk) 14:30, 7 September 2013 (EDT)

Deletions

Please just edit the files and add {{nuke}} to those files and someone will get to them. Thanks. --Funkychinaman (talk) 14:27, 18 September 2013 (EDT)

Student

For the film Student, please do not place screenshots that reveal unnecessary spoilers or do not show the weapon. --Ben41 (talk) 17:01, 2 November 2013 (EDT)

The Fog

If you are going to do pages for American films or series, please find better sources for your screenshots. These should either be in High Definition (720p or 1080p) and from a DVD. --Ben41 (talk) 16:20, 18 November 2013 (EST)

Samurai Films

Please do not make any more pages for samurai film. You have made several pages for these films, and you've shown that only one firearm is used and it's the same weapon for every film. These films were basically known for their sword fighting and not firearms. Unless there is a different more recognizable weapon seen in the film, any more pages for samurai films that you make will be deleted. --Ben41 (talk) 20:34, 29 November 2013 (EST)

No Improvised Firearm Page

Sorry, but do NOT make a page for improvised firearms. Pages are for actual firearms, and "improvised firearm" is too broad a category. If there is something worth mentioning, you can add a comment about it in the movie page's discussion section. --Ben41 (talk) 19:05, 4 December 2013 (EST)

Pulse

We've mentioned this several times already, but if you're going to continue creating pages, you're going to have to find a better source for screenshots. --Funkychinaman (talk) 15:18, 22 December 2013 (EST)

It's not a bad source for screenshot. This film was originally filmed in the dark tones and low resolution, because, it's a horror film. Pyramid Silent (talk) 15:27, 22 December 2013 (EST)

Thanks

I'm from Ukraine and I wanted to thank you for working on many good horror films, especially from Slasher genre and especially Shtolnya, because there are not so many Ukrainian movies here, unfortunately (I'm also working to include a few more Soviet, Ukrainian and Russian ones). I also own a big collection of licensed DVD's and probably can help you to screencap some of the articles properly. So if you'll need something like this - you can ask. --Kloga (talk) 15:38, 22 December 2013 (EST)

OK! Thanks. If you want, you can give me your e-mail, and we can continue our talk in russian or ukrainian. Pyramid Silent (talk) 15:49, 22 December 2013 (EST)

there was an e-mail (I'll delete as you'll write something). --Kloga (talk) 16:20, 22 December 2013 (EST)

Desert Punk

Would you be able to finish the page for Desert Punk before moving on to other pages? The previous incarnation of the page mentioned 33 distinct firearms, and you only have ten. (See the discussion page.) The older page was deleted for not having screenshots, so the OP could've been mistaken, but that's still a big difference. --Funkychinaman (talk) 12:05, 23 December 2013 (EST)

Yes, I do not include all firearm into those article, but it was in the bad quality or were not show all, only some parts like barrel or butt. Pyramid Silent (talk) 12:10, 23 December 2013 (EST)

There are many, many more firearms in this that are identifiable and shown in their entirety. I have this series in better quality (I capped the first 10 or so episodes a while ago but got distracted on other things) so if you are unable to finish it I will push this to the top of my list and get it done. Just looking through my caps of episode one, I can see the Winchester, a Browning HP, a Walther P38, a MAC 10, an Uzi, a PPSH, AR-15 Sporter carbines, FN FALs, RPG-7s, Thompsons, AK-47s, an L96 and a Colt SAA, all of which are fully seen and identifiable. If you cannot identify a weapon, that put caps of it on the discussion page and more likely that not other users will be able to identify it for you. In the future, please only start pages that you intend to finish as it is not fair to expect somebody else to do it for you. You did exactly the same thing with the Najica Blitz Tactics page where you only listed it as having 12 guns, and then when I went through and recapped it for better resolution I round there were 40 or so. Also, when making a page for a series please identify what episodes the weapons are used in, as well as including the episode name in the image files, such as "File:Desert Punk Episode 1 001.jpg" or something along those lines. --commando552 (talk) 12:47, 23 December 2013 (EST)

Ok Pyramid Silent (talk) 12:50, 23 December 2013 (EST)

Burn Up! page

I'm not sure why you felt a need to dead-link to the three other series and then mention you're personal familiarity with the franchise on the top of the page, but please don't do that again.--PistolJunkie (talk) 11:41, 24 December 2013 (EST)
