I’d intended to post a “hello and welcome to the new blog” a little while ago but events overtook me and we had to get the news out about the change in cast order. But here we are now. Hello.
We’re still deciding exactly how we want to use the blog (and we may never properly decide – I have a feeling it’ll just sort of evolve as we post stuff), but we’re hoping it will be a useful way of passing on news from the data team.
This week there’s encouraging stuff from the biographies manager who’s especially pleased to be receiving quite a bit of stuff about various actors’ theatre work which fits nicely into the “other works” section on the bio pages (take a look at Kevin Spacey, for instance). On the downside, he also says he’s been getting quite a few dates of birth without a country, (particularly noticeable, he says, when it’s the USA) and asks you not to forget to include the country with the place of birth.
I’ve not heard from any other list managers, so I’m assuming they’re either blissfully content or so busy that they haven’t got time to talk to the likes of me.
Cheerio for now
