Lists, 2007

102 lists in 78 videos, by upload date. Each list: who says it, how many named members, what it is about (the statement or segment it belongs to) and its start; then the members in the order said, each linked to its entity page where there is one. A skipped number (…) is an item that names no entity; “quoted” words are how a member was actually said when that differs from its name. All years
