[Freebase-discuss] Untyped topics and base types

[Jeff Prucher]

Thanks for creating this list, Shawn. While I was perusing it, I
discovered that there are 1437 instances of the type
/user/xtine/default_domain/farm named "Topic 0", "Topic 1", etc. that
were evidently created by a test script accidentally pointed at the
production graph. I'm going to circumvent the review queue and have
them deleted outright (unless anyone objects and would like to vote on
them?).
