There were three categories in Fantasy Wikipedia 2015. The chart below shows the average point value for articles in the draft (regardless of whether they were selected by a team or not):
A few points from this chart:
Geography, Politics, Religion, and History was the easiest category for players to find points. It had the most points per article on average, and the lowest standard deviation among articles.
Arts, Entertainment, and Sports was an important category for the drafters to get correct: it had the highest deviation among articles. This means that there was a big difference between the good picks and the bad picks.
Business, Science, & Technology was the "hard" category. It had the lowest average point value, and not very high standard deviation either. There were not many opportunities in this category.
The chart below shows how the teams' "drafted" articles performed against the "undrafted" articles:
The drafters showed the most "improvement" on Arts, Entertainment, and Sports. This category has the highest difference (18.1) between the average drafted score (15.7) vs. average undrafted score (-2.4). This is probably unsurprising; this is the category with the highest variance (see previous chart).
The other two categories are about the same, in terms of "improvement." The highest points were left behind on Geography, Politics, Religion, and History, but this is also where there was the most opportunity. In general, the players favored this category with their picks: 53% of articles from this category were drafted, but only 44% of articles from the other two categories were drafted. The players rightly saw that there was a lot of opportunity in this category.
Last, here is average article performance, by team and by category:
