Nominations queries post #3
The tag set is on course to be the largest we've ever had.
Adjustments to tags
I have had to adjust the phrasing of a handful of worldbuilding tags that turned out to have been nominated as characters, not relationships, because AO3 won't allow the exact same tag in more than one category. Hopefully none of them have inadvertently changed the original intent - please do let me know if you think you spot a problem.
Also, in The Goblin Emperor, Any was nominated as a character tag (which AO3 wanted to syn to "Other(s)"!) - I have folded this into the existing "Any or No Characters (The Goblin Emperor)" tag, but if there is actually a character called "Any" in this canon please do let me know.
Remaining queries
I have a relatively small number of queries, either remaining unanswered from previous posts, or related to tags submitted within the last two days. Since this is the last queries post, I will outline what I intend to do in each case if I do not receive a response within 24 hours, at which point I will proceed to general tag set clean up.

Doctor Who & Related Fandoms andStar Trek (all media types) - I queried about the scope of these on the last post. Unless I hear back from the nominator that they want a more specific fandom name, I will approve these, with the caveat that I will interpret them in the broadest possible sense. (I will also tweak the Alcubierre drive tag that has been bothering me for what I admit are idiosyncratic reasons.)Harry Potter (Books Only) - WB: dragons understand parseltongue - is there canon evidence for this? as phrased, it seems a little AU-ish. If I don't hear anything on this, I will tweak to phrase it as a question "Can dragons understand parseltongue?"Something Dark and Holy Series - Emily A. Duncan - Onumitsa - I still can't find any evidence for a character with this name. If I don't hear back, I will assume it's just a very obscure one and approve it, but ideally I would like some reassurance that it's not a misspelling.- Star Wars Sequel Trilogy - WB: Arkanis Academy - This doesn't seem to appear or be mentioned in the three sequel films. Unless someone provides evidence that it is, I'll reject it from this fandom and move it to "Star Wars - New EU"
The Silmarillion - WB: Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth - as far as I can tell this is the title of "the fourth book of Morgoth's Ring"; I'm not really clear how it should be construed as a worldbuilding tag; from what I can tell it is full of ideas relating to Elves and Men but in quite a broad-ranging way. If I don't hear back, I will make my best guess at what the intent is and rephrase, but I would strongly prefer to hear from the nominator (or, failing that, other Tolkien fans).
