I think the goldeneye 007 64 should also be looked over>

I mean seriously

allegedly a remington 870 but there are no features to identify it as such

allegedly a L96A1 but I have no idea how they came up with that. it looks like a generic hunting/sniping rifle(a crappy one at that)

Type 69???? I don't get it. It looks like the devs just modeled a generic rocket launcher to me.

I tried editing the article to label all these as "fictional" but somebody (Dongs) changed it all back.

On an irrelevant note, how can anyone take a guy seriously who made his user name "Dongs"?

Yeah, I've been having problems with that guy as well.

Well that's the problem with older console games like Goldeneye. It was an awesome game of the time, but it is hard to ID the guns used in it.

Somebody was Orca1 9904 the first time, actually. I reverted your changes because he said they were vandalism the first time, and he's an admin.

Anyway to request a moderator review on these sorts of things rather than relying on their banhammer wielding whims?

for whatever reason someone made a page w/o bothering to put anything on it.

I'd vote in favor of making a page for PDZ, as most of the guns there pretty close to real life counterparts.

I can easily pick out an HK P9, S&W 629C (I think that's what it's called) revolver, a Steyr TMP, an MP5, an Uzi, a P90, a CAR-15 with an M203, a Type-56, an M60, a FAMAS-inspired plasma-rifle, and a stockless SPAS-12.

Just going through the videogame category, here's a nice run of stunningly bad pages for the chop:

http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Syphon_Filter_2
http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/T2:_The_Arcade_Game [replica of http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Termi...he_Arcade_Game only even more crap]
http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Socom:_Confrontation
http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/SOCOM:_Confrontation [yes, there's two of these stupid things]
http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/SOCOM:_Combined_Assault
http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/SOCOM_3:_US_Navy_SEALS
http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/MAG
http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Let%2...sland_of_Spice
http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Deus_Ex
http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Dead_%27n%27_Furious
http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Battl..._Bad_Company_2
http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Battl..._Modern_Combat [We already have an article for one edition of the game at http://www.imfdb.org/index.php/Battlefield_2 and this one has no screenshots]

Having looked through all of the game articles, Goldeneye is actually above average. Average for an article in the videogame category is a list of weapon names which are links, no images or only our existing stock gun images, and often no cover art.
