Whilst some progress appears to have been made, there are still needless oversights all over the place -- Ethiopian is still a total mess with duplicates and no links whilst Mandé names aren't linked despite being a brand new culture with obvious links to other root names such as Salman and Sulayman.
I notice Lothaire has finally been added (linked with Lothar) even though it hasn't been linked with Clotaire or Hlothere. It's also strange they'd add those but leave out Chlothar. Still, baby steps.
There have been improvements to links with Norse and Italian names (though still not all, as Thure has proven above) but Saxon is possibly worse:
Hereweald_Harold? -- where is Harold_Harold? Æthelbeorht is missing _Albert, Æthelmær is missing _Adémar (though granted that's an obscure link), Æthelwine is missing _Alwin, Coenred is missing _Konrad, Eadmund is missing _Edmund, Eadweard_Edward means the Saxon kings named Edward are linked with the Plantagenet kings (reported in another thread), Godwine is better than Godwin but it means you'll have to change the current characters by that name in saxon.txt to match the new one, and finally Thoræd should be linked with the Norse variants of Thor: Tore (Norwegian) and Ture (Danish).
Also, I've just noticed that the variants of Lothaire all have different links, which means the link won't work:
Lothar_Lothaire (German)
Hlothere (Saxon -- no link)
Clotaire (Frankish -- no link)
Lothaire_Lothar (Frankish)
So yeah, it's great that they've been added but none of them are actually linked. :blush:
