We never and won't use IMDB as reference x) As you all know, anyone can edit it and, even if sometimes they got some people right, they also got mistakes. The source is not 100% sure, so we won't use it. How unprofessional we would be if we use IMDB.

Moreover, I also noticed that most of the time, IMDB copied their cast list from our wiki. On a lot of cases for upcoming eps, they only added the characters that we added ourselves.

IMDB has too many flaws to be used. Actually, even the others websites about OUAT do not use it... Seriously, how unprofessional it would be, especially because we know its flaws x)

BTW Eskaver, the people we used from Twitter are people who were on the set/conventions, meaning they saw things, they heard things; and most of them are well-known people from Twitter fans. So yeah, they are a way more "sure" than IMDB.

Finally, I'd like to say that, in my opinion, it would be cool if people stop thinking that having a community decision about something will make it happen. Personally, I begin to see, in my opinion, some "abussive attitudes" which are doing community discussions, just to hope to change details from our policies. Personally, I see it as an attempt to give a "legal" aspect to their violations of our policies.

Yes, we are a wiki which work with a community basis... But I also learnt that we are not a wiki where eveything can be decided/changed by a community decision. And I do think that some people should begin to understand that now.

I also think if these kind of things continue... well, it could give us the opposite effect, meaning a restriction of these community decisions. And, I'm not affraid to say it: to me, it is just a way to give a "legal" aspect against a violation of one of our oldest policy.
