__TOC__
== Summary ==
The content on IMDb is [[WP:UGC|user-generated]], and the site is considered unreliable by a majority of editors. [[WP:Citing IMDb]] describes two exceptions. Although certain content on the site is reviewed by staff, editors criticize the quality of IMDb's fact-checking. A number of editors have pointed out that IMDb content has been copied from other sites, including Wikipedia, and that there have been a number of notable hoaxes in the past. The use of IMDb as an external link is generally considered appropriate (see [[WP:IMDB-EL]]).
