Rules about how many screenshots

[Excalibur]

I want to know if we should put a limit on how many screen shots of one weapon can we put on a page? I usually limit to 4-5 shots at different angles and usually in the hands of different actors including if we see a different setup of the weapon.

Because some pages I see unnecessarily that people love to post 10 images of the same weapon at different angles. This I think wastes space when half of those images already proves the point.

I think the limit should be 10 or 8. Sometimes more than 10 but only under extreme circunstances.

You think 10 screen caps of an M4 would be a good idea?

[Ace Oliveira]

Only if they show the M4s being in differents hands or show goofs or anachorisms related to the M4s.

On the Apocalypse Now page, I have 9 M16A1 images. It doesn't look like too many, at least to me. http://www.imfdb.org/index.php?title=Apocalypse_Now

As long as there are different actors handling the same gun more than 5 seems ok., but no more than 10.

Oliveira, not to bash your work on We Were Soldiers. But 24 XM16E1 images looks way overboard.

I know that. I just uploaded every single screencap I had of the XM16E1s. I stopped it when MPM told me to stop it. I he didn't stop me that section would have more 40 screencaps. I'm sorry. Real sorry.

Anyway, 10 screencaps ain't much. Now 15...that's overboard.

I'd say a limit per weapon/per character is appropriate... 2? 3?

eg. If four different characters fire an 870 you would include at most 2 of each character.

Thoughts?

I don't like the character limit.

7 to 10 screencapps is good enough for any movie.

We are talking about screencaps in movies and television only, right? Because screencaps in video game pages is an entirely different story.
