Hi. I saw that you've added a few citations to Wikipedia articles. Thank you for taking the time to do that. However, the problem is that many of them are not what Wikipedia calls "reliable sources". We can't cite self-published blogs, user-generated content like the IMDb, and random web pages. They have to come from what a professional journalist has written at a site that's known for fact-checking and accuracy. For example, The New York Times, The Economist, Variety, or Fangoria. You can see a list of some sources that are generally considered reliable at WP:FILM/R. If you have trouble identifying whether a source is reliable, one way to get a good idea is to check the "about us" or "contact" page. If it uses first-person pronouns ("I started this site", "The reviews are written by me", etc), it's generally going to be a self-published blog. If it solicits for entries written by its readers or has an "edit" button somewhere on the page, it's probably user-generated. And if it has staff biographies that say something like, "Jane Reviewer is a college student at the local university and loves writing about films", it's probably a group blog staffed by unpaid amateurs. Also, watch out for sites that simply copy data from unreliable sites, such as the IMDb or Wikipedia itself. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 01:23, 23 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
