Is anyone here familiar with rateyourmusic? It's a music cataloging site. It has a very specific way of tagging content. Here's an example. You can see on this link that the album is tagged as "Merseybeat" and "Pop Rock". This isn't tagged by moderators who review tags, but by the users of the websi

Length of Mini Bios
Might I respectfully suggest to increase the minimum length of mini bios from 50 to 100 words ? After all, how can justice be done to a person's entire life/career by summing it up in a scant three or four sentences ? Anyhow, just a thought.....
