== You need English support (and stop copypasting your image captions) ==
+
== RE:Breakpoint ==
  
There is no easy way to say this, but you need to learn some English before you edit. Your grammar has many issues, such as misuse of grammatical articles. I know you're Polish, but this is an English website. There is a minimum standard of English writing ability that you need to reach before you write on this website. The poor language significantly worsens the quality of a page. If you really don't know how to caption, just upload the images and I will add the captions.

Ah, if you're planning to take reloading shots from a different perspective, that makes sense, though for future reference you can just keep them there until you have replacements. Also, why do you blank your talk page so often? [[User:Pyr0m4n14c|Pyr0m4n14c]] ([[User talk:Pyr0m4n14c|talk]]) 10:13, 13 December 2019 (EST)

:Also, does Breakpoint allow for first-person aiming down the sights like the last game? For instance here's one I have on the ''Wildlands'' page. These would be good on the ''Breakpoint'' page if you're interested.

Look, it's a wiki, no one "owns" a page. And while I recognize the work you've put into it and the sanctity of the WIP tag, it's been four months now, and it's not unreasonable for other people to contribute.

== Cleanup Sniper Elite III ==
  
In addition, your copypasting habits is not a good habit to have. Copypasting one format across all of a page will make it look as if the creator made no effort in creating the page. You should stop copypasting and write more varied sentences. "Reloading a weapon" can be rephased as "The player character reloads the weapon", "Reloading", or "Reload animation." Study the weapons in more detail and add details you see on the captions.

Can you please clean up your copy pasted image captions on [[Sniper Elite III]]? --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 21:14, 16 December 2019 (EST)

== Breakpoint Reload Screenshots ==
+
While I appreciate your efforts in adding additional screencaps to the ''Death to Spies'' page, I don't understand the other changes you made. You restructured several things that didn't really need to be restructured, and arguably made them worse in the process (e.g. the merger of grenades and landmines, which results in an awkward block of two notes at the start of the section), and you removed several good images with noteworthy information (e.g. the PPS-43 loading screen image), then nuke-tagged them, and replaced them with shots that, while clean, are nearly all identical, and have copy-pasted captions on them. For future reference, please don't do things of this nature. [[User:Pyr0m4n14c|Pyr0m4n14c]] ([[User talk:Pyr0m4n14c|talk]]) 18:08, 11 April 2021 (EDT)

Hi. I hope you don't mind, but I already have plans to add more screenshots to that page; the first of these may be of the M1911 and the LR 300. If this can't work out somehow, how do you think that we could work out a solution? [[User:TheExplodingBarrel|TheExplodingBarrel]] ([[User talk:TheExplodingBarrel|talk]]) 16:57, 7 May 2021 (EDT)

I told you already - don't remove existing screencaps when you're reworking a page. The close-up gun model and inventory menu images were useful, since they let the reader see the gun models and descriptions clearly without having to open the image at full size. Please put them back into their respective sections - I don't have time to fix your mistakes again. [[User:Pyr0m4n14c|Pyr0m4n14c]] ([[User talk:Pyr0m4n14c|talk]]) 07:20, 15 June 2021 (EDT)

:Fair enough, but the original screencaps should still stay. We have several pages already that use model viewers/etc. to get clearer looks at guns (the ''[[Resident Evil 6]]'' page is a good example, especially since, like ''SoD'', it's a TPS where you don't see the guns all that clearly in-game, so the non-standard screencaps can be a major help. As for the old journal entry shots vs. the new ones, the new shots make it harder to see the actual journal entry about the gun. I'd be fine if both stayed, but removing the old one makes it harder to read the important details without viewing the image at full size, and with a game that has this many guns, that's not really feasible.
 +
 
 +
:Anyway, regarding your unknown guns, the "CLEO Striker 40" ("Striker" isn't actually all-caps in-game; note that the first letter is slightly bigger than the rest in the journal entry) is a full-sized [[SIG-Sauer P250]]; the "CLEO Revo C" is a [[Chiappa Rhino 40DS]]; the "R12K Dragon" is a tricked-out [[Saiga 12K]] (and you may want to point out that incendiary shells probably wouldn't cycle a Saiga, unless it'd been modified); the "CLEO HCQB" is an [[Ak 5C]] without a stock; and the "CLEO DMR" is an [[M110]]/[[SR-25]] derivative, rather than an [[AR-15]] (note the angled upper without a forward assist, and the longer magazine well).

The source you used (through no fault of your own) is wrong. The "Pavesi Model 1938" was patented in 1938, but is actually marked SEMIAUTOMATICO CAL. 8 MOD. 1942 - BRESCIA on the top of the receiver. This can clearly be seen on the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pJ751Mui64 Forgotten Weapons video about the rifle]. Therefore the correct designation is Pavesi Mod. 1942.
 +
The "Pavesi Model 1942" - the SVT copy - is likewise not actually called the Model 1942. No formal designation for this rifle has been found but the Beretta museum, who currently hold the prototype, call it the "Pavesi Mod. PG", with "PG" standing for "Presa Gas" ("Gas Pressure", as in gas-operated).

Why have you been removing screenshots from pages? Some of those shots were important, and you've either uploaded insufficient replacements (e.g. not adding a new reloading shot for the Schiessbecher on the ''[[Medal of Honor: Airborne]]'' page) or none at all (e.g. the 21 cm Mörser 16 on the ''[[Battlefield 1]]'' page). I'm going to re-add those images soon - in the future, if you want to replace an image, just upload a new version, instead of removing existing images entirely.
