It was recently altered around the name in the infobox and the lead to show "Internet Movie Database" as the name of the website. However, while that's where the IMDb got its name from, IMDb is actually its full and legal name. Internet Movie Database is an explanation expansion of where it originally came from but isn't actually its name any longer. Its not its full name. If you wanted to have its actual full name, it's IMDb.com, Inc. IMDb doesn't even use the phrase "Internet Movie Database" in any way. This isn't like NASA whose actual name is National Aeronautic and Space Administration, Internet Movie Database isn't the organisation's name. Canterbury Tailtalk15:52, 11 April 2025 (UTC)Reply
Since there's no objections, and no counter arguments and references that it's name is Internet Movie Database and not IMDb, I've put it back. Canterbury Tailtalk11:34, 3 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
What's to discuss? Please revert your edits. Internet Movie Database is not its name, hasn't been for a long long time. There is no evidence that the website and company are known by anything other than IMDb or IMDb.com. As the editor pushing for Internet Movie Database being its name, you'll need to provide evidence for your claims and not revert to your preferred version.
