How do they know the inversion happens every 50 years?[edit]

Is there anything in the episode to indicate how they can know the inversion occurs every 50 years, when they've only known the wormhole exists for 3 year? LarryJeff (talk) 18:38, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:USERGENERATED[edit]

Please note that WP:USERGENERATED makes it clear that IMDB user scores are not allowed. See also MOS:TVRECEPTION which again specifically says not to use IMDB scores. -- 109.76.203.41 (talk) 12:46, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No one has commented, and there is no evidence that there was any WP:LOCALCONSENSUS to ignore MOS:TVRECEPTION. I have removed the user ratings from IMDB and TV.com[1]. IMDB scores have been consistently rejected as unreliable and there doesn't appear to any special reason why it would be allowed here either.

I did not remove the user voted web poll conducted by Star Trek website, but it should probably also be removed for the same reasons, WP:UGC, WP:RS. -- 109.77.214.139 (talk) 00:04, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I put those up there when I first wrote the Critical Reception subsection ages ago as it was a lot shorter at the time. I didn't know what was and wasn't accepted. Feel free to remove the Star Trek website user poll if you feel that isn't appropriate either. Moozipan Cheese (talk) 18:08, 18 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No problem at all, thanks for adding a comment. There are a lot more rules than there used to be. I've been cleaning up old articles and I'm fairly sure I found a case from over 10 years ago when I was the person who added the Rotten Tomatoes audience score. I'll probably leave it [the StarTrek.com poll] alone, but anyone trying to bring up the article to a higher quality level might need to reevaluate it again later. -- 109.78.195.140 (talk) 02:38, 29 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
