Yes, IBDB is considered reliable

I saw your question about the reliability of IBDB in your summary for your edit on Richard Barthelmess. Yes, it is considered reliable. I use IBDB often when I am editing articles about actors and actresses. If you would like to see some documentation, here are some links to comments from WP's Reliable Sources Noticeboard:

• Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 162#Internet Broadway Database
• Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 111#IBDB reliability
• Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 35#IBDB

As is true with much on Wikipedia, if you look enough, you will find some editors who disagree, but I think most of us consider it to be reliable. Eddie Blick (talk) 20:55, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Thank you, I very much appreciate the links and the answer to my query. I find a mixed bag with a few rules on WP and have found the most humorous articles as to when to apply or at times disregard some entirely, if conflicting...but then there is a rule to oppose such behaviour, lol. I enjoy a good Catch-22. Jennablurrs7575 (talk) 00:30, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

I know just what you mean. Opinions are often diverse on here, sometimes with avid supporters on both sides I find the situation frustrating at times, because I am a person who likes to have a rule that is clear. As time goes on, I have learned to accept some level of uncertainty and do my best. If you would like to have a couple of additional links that might be useful with regard to reliability, let me first suggest Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources. I also have a personal page, User:Teblick/Reliable Sources that you are welcome to use if you wish. I add to it occasionally when I encounter a source that I question. If I can find an archived discussion that seems to classify the sources as reliable or unreliable, I add the source to my list with a brief comment. That way, if someone questions my removal of a source, I can point him or her to what I found. Eddie Blick (talk) 01:01, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
