Audience scores are not allowed
Please see the guidelines WP:USERGENERATED user generated content is not allowed, including user voted web polls. That means that audience scores from Rotten Tomatoes or IMDB or similar are not WP:Reliable sources and are not allowed. Please do not add them to Wikipedia film articles in future. -- 109.78.208.66 (talk) 03:04, 23 March 2022 (UTC)


 * In that case shouldn't the name of the section be "Critical Response" instead of "Critical and Public Response"? Mindgene (talk) 12:59, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Sometimes editors list incorrect headings, and the heading might need to be corrected rather than adding information from unreliable sources.
 * In this case there is already "Public response" or Audience response which comes from the audience polling company CinemaScore who survey audiences during the opening weekend. They are considered a reliable source, although you still cannot read too much into their results either, for the most part they show that people who already thought they might like the film (enough to go see it on the opening weekend) more or less got what they expected. For more recent films another company PostTrak often do audience surveys too.
 * Wikipedia has so many rules no one can really know them all, and even the ones that are written out are not always as clear as they should be. Hope the explanation helps. Thanks for editing. -- 109.78.205.134 (talk) 16:02, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
