Thread:Talk:Article feedback/IMDB rating: Only consider trustworthy users/reply (16)

The third question in the FAQ tells you how to do it.

You would officially need "community consensus" for any given page or group of pages, rather than "small group consensus", but a moderately advertised RFC hosted at the WikiProject's talk page would presumably be sufficient for that purpose. Given that the project claims 90,000 pages, you'd also want to file a bot request.

In the meantime, I suggest that each individual member who doesn't like it simply turn it off for his whole account. That some readers are rating articles doesn't oblige you to take the least bit of notice of their ratings.

Before you go down that path, let me also add that one of the goals is to eventually figure out whether certain kinds of pages attract inappropriate ratings. If you take all the film-related pages out of the study (and I agree that they might attract more fan/hate votes than other subjects), then you would effectively prevent us from gathering data on that point.
