"Filmweb is the second largest (after IMDb)[2] online database of information..." what about AllMovie??? Wich is largest? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.229.140.149 (talk) 15:57, 9 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

There is currently source in this article saying that Filmweb is second, I haven't found any sources claiming otherwise. Or stats for AllMovie, for that matter. But let's see:
  • Filmweb: As of 16 September 2014, there are 557,114 films, 43,447 TV series, 14,675 computer games and 1,912,634 persons in the database.
  • IMDb: According to its article, as of 2 September 2014, there were 2,993,252 titles and 6,085,458 personalities in the database.
Please note the important difference between the two databases: in IMDb, every TV series episode is counted as a separate title, while Filmweb only provides a list of episodes for a TV series title. Another difference is that Filmweb doesn't list all of crew/personnel names, only the 'important' ones. So, for example, you won't find names of engineering assistants, associate producers, personal assistants, etc. there. — Mayast (talk) 15:02, 16 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
