Howdy!

Whether you are new to the Wiki or have been here a while, I'm sure you may already be aware of some of the many Groups of Interest the Foundation deals with. As a forum critter, I often spot several drafts which try to shoehorn Groups of Interest into their articles with little rhyme or reason. Even worse, sometimes they try to write an article heavily featuring the group without really knowing anything about it! GoIs are cool, don't get me wrong. I love mixing and matching groups of interest in my articles, but to do so requires both a level of understanding of what a specific GoI represents, and what they can bring to the table from a narrative standpoint.

In this essay, I, alongside several other authors well-versed on the matter, will be offering up advice on what kind of voice, tone, and themes an article featuring a specific GoI should aim for. Keep in mind this is not a bible or definitive guide by any means, and there is always room for exploration and deconstruction. This essay is more of a crash course and meant to provide easy to digest information not present in most GoI hubs, alongside recommended reading for those interested in reading about a GoI or learning the basic gist of what a group stands for. I hope this helps you whether you are a reader, critter, or author.

NOTICE TO ANY INDIVIDUALS INTERESTED IN CONTRIBUTING
If you possess in-depth knowledge of a particular GoI and want to touch on something that was missed out on here, please PM me. Do not add blurbs on here. Additionally, if a new major GoI pops up or one of the minor ones becomes a major one, this essay will be updated. If enough time goes by since the GoI has risen to provenance and I have not updated this, please poke me with a stick.

Etc.

What, was 31 organizations/people of interest not enough for you people? Goodness, gracious. There are more anomalous groups than the above, but they are a little more obscure. I will include the most notable ones as well as whatever information there is available about them below. Note that information may be little at best and vague at worst, but we labored to make sure we got all that we could right here. GoIs imported from foreign wikis are noted in blue.
