Well if you remember any of the examples I'd love to hear them. I use both IMDb and Wikipedia a lot so I'd definitely like to be aware of any deficiencies (I think I know them all for Wikipedia: nonstandard formatting of information being biggest; plus, I'm pretty sure that PeeWee Herman was not, as it said for a while, in the Indiana Jones movies).
The big problem for IMDb is that they rely on studios for a big part of their datafeed. In striving for complete detail of credited and non-credited rolls bit actor names not infrequently get screwed up or minor crediting differences in one film or another lead to multiple pages for the same actor (really common: Jane Smith does extra work under that name, gets married and then does more extra work as Jane Jones and the two are never connected unless Jane Smith-Jones or friend brings it to their attention). Plus, while they take user submitted information it can be really slow to be included. I once reported to them that theirs Oscars page for one of the years in the 1930s had a link to a wrong movie (same title but decades off) and it didn't get fixed for something like 9 months).
