Use of the IMDb on Wikipedia
Hi. I wanted to explain why I reverted one of your recent edits. The problem is that you cited the IMDb, which we don't consider a reliable source. Citations on Wikipedia should be to sources that have editorial control, a history of fact checking and issuing corrections, and are written by professional journalists or academics. With some few exceptions, the IMDb is user-generated, which means that we can't trust most of its data. Specifically, our guidelines for writing film articles instructs us not to include user IMDb ratings, as they are easily manipulated. This is also true of other user-generated ratings, such as Rotten Tomatoes. Instead, we typically use professional polls, such as CinemaScore, to gauge audience response. However, one can not extrapolate that a film was liked or disliked by audiences simply from an unscientific poll; what we would do is neutrally report the results of the poll without any editorializing.
