IMDB (the movie database) has a submission interface for signed in users which can be used to submit "External reviews" to IMDB. I was advised by the IMDB staff that, in order to work towards a more comprehensive content partnership with them, we should first submit links to the relevant movies, so that they can gauge user interest.
So we need a bot that auto-submits all Wikipedia articles about movies to IMDB's "external reviews" sections about these movies.
IMDB has a strict no-robots and no-screen-scraping policy. Make sure you clear this with them first.
