Official Project Update #10

[doranwen]

Among the many varied categories this time was a whole series of categories for music artists in general, by letter. A had lots of Aaliyah and Avril Lavigne, for instance, while M had My Chemical Romance and Michael Jackson among many, many others. There was also a similar series of categories for actors, and for computer & video games, though the last set was much smaller overall.

I also finally hit the Spanish categories, as you can tell by how the number of available Spanish tabs shot up suddenly. These are by far easier to sort than English tabs, for although I have to be careful to spot the occasional Catalan and Basque groups mixed in (and once in a blue moon, Galician), there's little Unknown (I can't skim the Spanish as easily as I do English, and I'm less certain of whether someone will be able to tag them or not based on what's there, and have chosen to err more on assuming they can), no spam so far, and virtually none of the languages so prevalent in the English categories (Indonesian, Arabic, Turkish, Persian, etc., very few other languages at all). The Spanish fandom categories are almost entirely Spanish with a very rare Catalan group; I mostly see the odd other languages in nonfandom categories.

I did find a new language - Mayan!

Something fun:

Sometimes the interesting part about a group was who created it or was part of it, like with "heroesiiimapmakers":
