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.

In addition, make sure that you have good descriptions. Not simple, one line "Used by Joe Blow" deals and not spoiler-filled ones - though if the last one can't be helped, then mark the page accordingly.

I believe that is against IMFDB regulations per the section regarding weak/lame pages.

No, it's not. "Lame" pages are those where the creator not only fails to provide screencaps, but also fails to follow format. Creating a page that is in proper format, but lacking screencaps, is acceptable, provided it's done well.

This is site is way too un-userfriendly. I really have no idea how to create a page in the proper formatting. There's no 'How to' or 'Introduction' page thatI can see anywhere, not even in the forum.

You make that easier to do and you'll get less requests of people asking other people to make pages for them. And people who make lame pages will have their pages corrected much quicker by people who know better.
