[Developers] [Data-modeling] Data load issues

[Ed Laurent]

I've flagged a few but am already feeling overwhelmed with the task. For
example, all these Dark Horse publishers still need to be assessed for
merge:

Should we just flag them for potential merge? I usually only flag topics for
merge if I feel pretty confident about it. Unfortunately, I haven't found
any good online resources to verify if these publishers are in fact the same
topics. Are there any?
