I have done that on the pages I have setup but it is not listed as a standard for page setups. We have so many different ways of doing the pages. I know that we will be going through some more growing pains but the site will be just that much better.
I'm really not quite sure yet. I was thinking the reviews would be on a separate section - and the goal is not to duplicate the content of our pages, which we try and keep impartial.

I have had some people submit new media/youtube style reviews, I'm not opposed to that.

The question is WHY? And how would they get paid? Is there a revenue stream if IMFDB has reviews?

I'm not thrilled with reviews because it's a whole nuther layer of stuff that has nothing to do with documenting firearms appearances in films.

But if Bunni has a brilliant master plan that he has not revealed to us, then I'm all ears!

I can do it for FREE because i've got so much pics and information from IMFDB, and i am still very thankful about it. However, my grammar sucks, nobody likes my postings...

So....... WHATEVER.

Good luck with good reviewer

The why is that I'm trying to create content we'll enjoy reading - and bring a unique opinion/perspective/analysis to film that the mainstream media is never going to see/appreciate. The pay would be per word, and freelance, I couldn't possibly hire any permanent employees.

The reviews would be separate from the wiki - but the goal is to create content that we'll find interesting and that wouldn't otherwise ever have a voice.

The most interesting application so far is from an officer who has seen several deployments. This is someone whos perspective we may find interesting.

It's really an experiment - we've grown to a size now where I think we have some really incredible talent in our readership - talent that spans throughout the entertainment industry and beyond. Let's stretch our legs a bit and see what we can do.

It could be interesting, but the idea sounds rather vague to me (as it's been put forth). To make sure I'm clear...are we going for something similar to this:

I think that before we take submissions, it would be a good idea to figure out what we're looking for, and devise an appropriate format.

I've looked at those reviews and some of them at least had one or two incorrect gun identifications.

Right, but that's irrelevant. The question is, is their format (or something like it) what we're going for?
