modern Warfare

Press quote button, change it, put bold tags around the capital M. You can correct spellings right here and the best part is your IQ doesn't halve every time you hit the submit button like it will on his Wiki.

The (second) most recent edit on there is blatantly wrong. I thought it was someone from here.

Rockwolf66 07-15-2011 02:19 AM

has anyone gotten in touch with the siops of the Wiki's hes stealing from and plagerizing their work?

Really with a bit of work Moviemaster1993 can be turned into the pariah that he should be.

http://www.imfdb.org/w/images/6/61/M9-pistolet.jpg

We considered that before, but it's far too easy for someone to just erase the watermark and steal the image. He'd have to put the watermark over the gun itself, and that would somewhat defeat the purpose of a quality firearm image.

If there's a way to lock the images from being copy and pasted though, that would reduce image jacking. Some could still Print-Scrn it, but most image thieves (such as Moviemaster1993) are not likely that smart or have a large enough attention span to perform such a task.

In theory, the webmaster can lock out right-clicking across the site.

I don't know about Halo, but there's nothing much the Frontlines wiki could object to because their article is just copied from the official weapon descriptions in the game. I think his funniest one is the Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine article, where he's just copied the weapon list from one of the tabletop game's sourcebooks rather than given a list of guns which can actually be confirmed.

I've yet to see one of those you can't get around by disabling java (same with those scripts that prevent text highlighting on sites like Snopes), and you can't stop people hitting print screen.

More to the point, he isn't jacking these images to make a wiki, he's doing it because it's against our rules as a childish attempt to annoy us. I don't think even this kid is so colossally dumb he actually thinks he can make a rival IMFDB from a couple of stolen / empty articles, he's just doing the equivalent of crossing the road and pulling faces at the teacher on the last day of term.

True, but removing it shows clear intent to violate copyright. ANY watermark can be removed with enough skill and time in Photoshop. All we have to do is show the original image WITH the watermark and per DMCA rules, the site must remove it. You can never STOP piracy, but you can take steps to PROVE piracy after the fact.


Evil Tim 07-15-2011 03:55 PM

Does that really work? I know several sites are infamous for watermarking every image they host whether they own it or not.

Wouldn't that affect us as well. Don't we all need to use the right click from time to time?

funkychinaman 07-31-2011 09:35 PM

I've been playing Army of Two: The 40th Day, and I went on their wikia, and some IMFDB images are there. There's at least one that looks like one of MPMs. The uploader appears to be a IMFDB user.

I'm starting to laugh even more and now I get why it's called "movie weapons wiki" and not firearms. He's even including metal pipes and fire axes...like we need to be told this guy's using a pipe.

Yeah, well, it isn't like we haven't gotten our fair share of people wanting to include every "weapon" but the kitchen sink on pages.

And then you need to cover every scene with plumbing in the background. Gotta keep track of all those pipes. And trees, lots of potential planks of wood in those, those are weapons. And branches, you can hit people with branches...Or you can set them on fire. Gotta list every scene where you could potentially start a fire with the materials present! Maybe we could also add words, plenty of villains use words to make their henchmen kill people...

Wouldn't be a bad idea if we ever did an April Fools' article, but actually running a wiki where you can potentially identify any object in the whole of existence is crazy.

Back to the original reason WHY moviemaster1993 was banned ...

http://www.imdb.com/news/ni13689485/

Summit Entertainment is suing an Argentine woman for 'leaking and distributing' production photos and images from the as yet unreleased new "Twilight"movie called "Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn". moviemaster1993 was leaking unauthorized Transformers 3 photos before the movie's release. Even after it's theatrical release, IMFDB cannot use images not taken from official sources or the DVD itself. So the rule is ... Until the movie is RELEASED on DVD or Blu Ray or VOD, then only officially released images are kosher, period! (officially released includes the trailer).

Leaked production/behind the scenes images are NOT allowed on IMFDB.

k9870 08-06-2011 03:03 AM

Did the other wiki reply to requests to take down this site's photos?

So this means once the DVD is out, we can bring back the production stills? Cause I saw the movie and the guns were hard to pick out.

Evil Tim 08-06-2011 07:38 AM

I imagine after the release you could use images from leaks and such, but only if they show weapons that didn't make it into the final product (same as with trailers showing weapons that aren't in the final release, like the FAMAS in Metal Gear Solid 2*). Otherwise, it's kinda weird to use shots that aren't from the released version to illustrate what guns are in the released version.

Also, I guess this means we need to delete those screenshots of the MW3 leak / Battlefield 3 alpha?

*Though ridiculously enough that trailer is on the final game disc, so...

There's footage from that MGS2 trailer in a flashback in the final game, so it sort of counts.

And the MW3 stuff got shunted onto the talk page pretty damn sharpish.

Yeah, but we're still hosting the images on the server. If we shouldn't have them at all, they need to be made dead, not just moved off the page.

It will be interesting to see how they classify bats, rocks and hammers.

One of the co-creators appears to be a certain user that was banned from this site a few months ago.

It doesn't look like they get much activity, but it appears that there are some gun pitures that are from this site, but I don't know if it's worth going after them.

Sorry for being late on opinions, but this site is such a hilariously bad rip off. I don't think it will ever compete with IMFDB, especially with IMFDB's internet status and popularity, plus it's years ahead of Movie Weapon Wiki. And Moviemaster1993 is still ranting about being banned? It's his fault, if he acted a little more civilized and didn't make so many rude, smartass comments he would still be here, plus it isn't like people aren't going to know his site is a complete ripoff.

I just realized; we've been calling it by the wrong name. It's the Movie Weapon (singular) Wiki, making it one of the most awkwardly named wikias out there.

Anyone else notice that the site has paragraph by paragraph summary of Battle: L.A? Why would a site made to catalog weapons need that? This site just gets more and more laughable.

Ah yes, the book report on Battle: LA.

So basically his site is doing everything that he kept getting slapped down on here at imfdb. Which is why it's such a mess. Next time somebody is whining and bitching about the rules here we should send them to his site. Just so that can see what it would be like without the regulations.
