IMDb

Hi, Awillcox,

I'm sorry, it's not an officially cited wiki practice, de jure, but it's more or less de facto. IMDb is a well known and trusted internet resource, as well as being known as a source for research, it is known for fairly representing the facts as facts, i.e. such-and-such actor was in such-and-such a film, not opinions. The latest change along that vein I made was for Der Himmel Uber Berlin, on that page I moved the imdb link ahead of such things as "fan websites" (which in my opinion, shouldn't be on wikipedia at all, either) and Ebert's review - a review, which is an opinion. While it's a well regarded opinion, Mr. Ebert's, it's for someone who wants to know about how the film was received critically, and not a wealth of interlinked information about every facet of the film, such as the crew and other information which is not significant enough for wikipedia.
