Any that our users enter.

We have heavy, import-driven connections to Wikipedia and MusicBrainz. 
We have not imported data from IMDb because that data is not compatible 
with our licenses; however, when we (or any user) knows that a 
particular actor, crew member, film, TV show, episode, etc., has an IMDb 
Web page, they can enter it as a Web link.

This is also true of NNDB, Spock, or any other Web site; if you know a 
relevant resource, add a link.
