RE Metacritic
''What about just saying simply "score" instead of "weighted average rating", which I don't consider it to be a rating at all in the least. I think like they think, which they call it a "score" i.e. metascore. Oh, we could say they have assigned a metascore of 76 based on 10 reviews, which the breakdown is seven positive to three neutral and no negative ratings. This is about Wheelhouse, for your information.HotHat (talk) 03:40, 25 April 2013 (UTC)''
 * I wouldn't change "score", but that's only because I don't have time to change it in other articles. I have more than I can manage changing "normalized", which is grossly inaccurate but unfortunately written in many articles on films and albums. "Weighted average" or "weighted mean" is more precise than "score" and reflects what Metacritic actually does. But of course "score" is not inaccurate, just not very precise.
