Live Poll: Best Gun-Fu Movie

Hey Dan,

I know this is a very late reply but I've changed a few things according to your suggestion. I hope I'm doing right so far.

Thank you for your help btw, and sorry about this late reply.

Hi BONAFIDE BOSS,

Thank you for updating the title of your list. I've updated the title of this thread accordingly. Also, thank you for adding a working discussion link.

Please change this phrase in your list to a question.

From:
Top Gun play (Gun-Fu) movies of all time.

To:
Which is your favorite Top Gun play (Gun-Fu) movie?

or

Which do you consider the Top Gun play (Gun-Fu) movie?

Hey ED Jones,

No sorry, I won't be adding Fantasy, Sci-Fi (space films) or Comics (DC/Marvel) movies.

Hey Dan, how to mention a user lol? ;)

I want to ask something before I change the title of the list.

I want to know if I can revert the changes.

I mean, if I change the title to a question, "What do you consider to be the best Gun-Fu movie of all time?", can I change it back to a normal title once the poll has ended?

Also, how did this get edited to "Praise"?



It was supposed to be an "Idea". Last time I checked, it was.

BONAFIDE BOSS,

I want to ask something before I change the title of the list.

Although you can change the title of your list back to the original title it is probably best not to do so. Polls can be updated if there is a need to do so. The list upon which a poll is based should align as closely as possible to the poll. If you need to have a list with the current title, create a duplicate of your current list.

Also, how did this get edited to "Praise"?

Once someone responds to a thread, only an admin can edit the type of thread. I have limited administrative rights and changed the type of thread from Praise to Idea.

Hey Dan,

Here's a new list with a suitable title for a poll.

Link: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls090329249/
Title: "What do you consider to be the best Gun-Fu movie of all time?"
Poll options: 25 (so far)

I hope you can update the description and replace the link. Thank you.

Maybe you should add some context to the text of the new list. Maybe the definition of what the heck gun-fu is.

I Se-gun that

BONAFIDE BOSS,

For your new list (https://www.imdb.com/list/ls090329249/):

A poll consists the following parts:
1. A short descriptive title
2. An optional description of the scope of the poll
3. A question
4. A discussion link

= = =

1. Please change the title of your thread:
From:
What do you consider to be the best Gun-Fu movie of all time?

To:
Best Gun-Fu Movie

2. Please add a definition of Gun fu as Stephen Atwood suggests above, something like:
Gun fu is a portmanteau of gun and kung fu. It is a fictional style of sophisticated close-quarters gunfight resembling a martial arts battle that combines firearms with martial arts and traditional weapons. It can be seen in Hong Kong action cinema and in American films influenced by it.

3. Please change:
Top Gunplay (Gun-Fu) movies of all time.

To:
What do you consider to be the best Gun-Fu movie of all time?

4. Your discussion link works fine.

When you are finished editing your list, you see:

Best Gun-Fu Movie

Discuss here.

Hey Dan,

I've updated my new list https://www.imdb.com/list/ls090329249/ as you suggested.

BONAFIDE BOSS,

Thank you for making the changes I recommended. I updated the title of this thread and the original post accordingly.

Hey Jessica, thank you for suggesting this movie, I've added it to my list.

Hey rubyfruit76, thanks for welcoming me to this community, (I'm new here and this is my first poll suggestion o.O)

I hope this idea gets approved. btw, Django Unchained is one my most favorites too.

Have you considered adding the suggestions from Ed and me? :)

I have only added 'The Equalizer' so far...

Oh, that's a good idea, Ed. Can I get a link to one of your polls in which you have done something like that so I can get a hint on how to do it?

Thank you, Ed. This will help me a lot, not only in this poll but my future polls too. <3

This is how I edited them.
 

Is it good? (link: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls090329249/)

Thank you. Thank you very much.
