WP is not giving an acknowledgement to IMDB when we use their data
- No references are often given in our cast section
- The order of their cast (based on number of tv episodes for each actor which we don't have) and ours match (except for Main Cast in this case).
- The Crew in info boxes.
- Wikipedia:WikiProject_Film/Resources#Questionable_resources Indirectly to search for very unlikely references
"IMDb content is mostly user-submitted and often subject to speculation, rumor, hoaxes, and inaccuracies. The use of the IMDb on Wikipedia as a sole reference is usually considered unacceptable and is discouraged. Its romanization of Chinese titles does not follow the standard. Reliable sourcing from established publications cannot be stressed enough. Anonymous or pseudonymous sources from online fansites are generally unacceptable. So, while itself discouraged as a source, IMDB might provide information leading editors to the preferable reliable sites."
