FAQ: List of Polls Alphabetical Within Category

I would appreciate feedback on whether this is a useful breakdown of live polls. Someone reviewing the list of polls on my blog suggested a list of polls by category. This is my attempt to address that suggestion.

This is my initial cut. I've been able to categorize about half of the polls. Most of the polls are not categorized (zxNoCategory).
I would appreciate suggestions for categories using short keywords as shown below.

Dan,

I noticed that Face-Off: Coolest "Game of Thrones" Throne is misplaced in the LotR category.

There are 585 polls that are not categorized (zxNoCategory).

Sadly, I did not have time to categorize the majority of the polls from 17-December-2020 to 23-July-2021. I probably will not have an opportunity to categorize any new poll any time soon.

Wow, it must demand a lot of time to categorize them, but it is very useful, I am using the feature already👍

@mariojacobs,

@Pencho15 has been extremely helpful in categorizing the polls. He accounts for a large portions of the categorizations. Unfortunately, it is hard for me to share what needs to be categorized until I publish the statistics. I hope to eventually assign a category to polls without categories early next year with the help of the poll community at large.

I'll Gladly help again.

Maybe it could be useful if we suggested a category as soon as each poll is published to avoid a new lag in categorization.
