Reliable sources
Hi. I wanted to explain why I reverted an edit you recently made to Dark Was the Night (2014 film). The problem is that you cited the IMDb, which is user-generated content. Wikipedia is only supposed to cite reliable sources – sources that have a professional staff and editorial control. Because the IMDb is written by random contributors from the internet, it's not consider reliable. Also, its ratings are not added to our articles because they are subject to vote stacking. For example, one person could create 100 accounts on the IMDb and cause a rating to either go very high or very low. Per MOS:FILM, we use professional polls, such as PostTrak and CinemaScore to track audience opinion. I know Wikipedia probably seems pretty bureaucratic and rules-bound, but this stuff eventually does start to make sense eventually. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:26, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
