Will one of the more talented folks on IMFDB please create a wiki page on Restrepo? Just saw it, very good movie. Thanks!

This is the second thread of this type today. Isn't there a rule against this sort of thing?

lol that's exactly what i was thinking POI
two people have REQUESTED pages be made
and i dont think they can do that either

Sorry about that, just thought I'd ask. I'll refrain from doing it next time.

I did notice, however, that there is a page on Predators, despite the fact that this is not yet out on DVD either.

People watch it in theaters and get promo images from the net. But the Predators page won't be complete until it's released on dvd and someone caps it.

You can still build a page for Restrepo, without any screencaps, just list the weapons used and a description. But it's preferred not to start a page unless it can be completed.

Hold up one second..."Restrepo" is the documentary version of the book "War" by Sebastian Junger. It's a great book (I happen to be reading it now), and I'm sure the film is just as good, but the problem is that documentaries are outside the scope of IMFDB. We cover weapons in fiction, not documentaries.

Then shouldn't the Mail Call and Future Weapons articles be deleted?

Technically, yes. But they were also made before we decided that documentaries were not permissible and cracked down on them. We were in the awkward position of deciding whether pages that had taken lots of work to finish (i.e. both of those) should be deleted given the hard work that went into them. So those two have endured only due to our indecisiveness on the matter.

But any others, we shoot 'em down at takeoff.
