[edit]Hi! I'm editing the article on She Never Died and will accept it, but it needs an overhaul. I was fairly pleased to see it pop up at AfC, as I'd created the article for He Never Died and hadn't realized that there was a sequel. Anywho, here are my notes:
- IMDb scores and audience ratings on Rotten Tomatoes aren't considered to be noteworthy on Wikipedia unless there is a lot of news coverage about the scores. For an example of what I mean by this, take the situation with Saving Christmas where events occurred to where it got severely negatively rated on RT and IMDb. The reason why these reviews are typically not included is because it's easy for users to leave reviews and as such, manipulate it in one way or another.
- IMDb as a whole should not be used as a source since anyone can add content. I have an example for this as well: Years back when Captain America: Winter Soldier was announced, someone named Gretel Ashzinger added her name to the IMDb page, claiming that she was going to be playing Jennifer Walters, better known as She Hulk. IMDb mods accepted the addition without actually checking into it, as there was zero news coverage about this and it was a random user submission apparently. The reason we found out about it was because she tried using this IMDb listing to justify her having an article on Wikipedia. While situations like that aren't going to be the norm, they happen often enough to where IMDb just isn't reliable.
- Avoid original research and opinion statements. I had to remove the entire mythology section since it was based on content that you came up with yourself. On Wikipedia we can only summarize what has been explicitly stated about the topic in reliable sources. This means that unless the people involved with the film or authorities in reliable sources (ie, film critics, journalists, etc) makes the claims, we can't add them to the article.
- The same goes for statements of opinion, such as using adjectives or terms like exciting or statements like this:
- The relatively low number of ratings so far not only fail to give an accurate approval rating but also indicate low viewership; one can reasonably assume that films with few ratings on arguably the world’s most referenced rating site have not been widely distributed.
- The issue here is that it's conjecture and assumes something of the reviews, readership of the site, and has an unverified claim about the site (IMDb or RT) being the most referenced rating site. (Even if either were, we can't use that fact to make a claim about the reviews representing people.)
I hope that this doesn't spook you when it comes to editing, it's just that these are fairly major things to be careful about when editing. Given that you seem to like horror and we can always use another horror fan on here, I'd definitely like you to keep editing! You should absolutely check out WP:HORROR, which is a WikiProject devoted to expanding coverage of horror on Wikipedia. You may find these training modules to be helpful. They were created for students taking part in a Wiki Education class, but are still definitely useful when it comes to learning the basics! This brochure on editing and creating film articles will also be of great use! ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 08:37, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
