pretty sweet list
atom12, "classification" is very similar to "description", but you can provide more information in that meta tag. Note that classification doesn't affect your SEO, but "description" does.
You have an awful lot of useless meta tags in there; "copyright", "revisit-after", "rating" to name a few ...not to mention that you have some values as well in there. You also have different double-quotation encoding going on there, so if you copy this list, the chances are you are copying the different encoded characters too...
Have a look at these links, many meta tags are included as old habits and though they don't really hurt anything, they add absolutely no value either.
MDN - Obsolete practices to avoid
Google - Web Authoring Statistics: Metadata
Many on the list are outdated if ever really supported by the important search engines. Below are the only ones you really need to worry about these days. Some aren't meta tags but are import to use in HTML content creation.
- Language should be included in the opening HTML tag
- Title tag unique for every page
- Meta charset important for correct rendering in browsers
- Meta description is what shows up in search engine results
- Robots meta tag only if you use noindex or nofollow
- Meta viewport for responsive design
- Canonical Tag addresses duplication issues with multiple/similar URLS
- Alternative text (Alt) Tag for images
- Heading tags for logical content creation with only one h1 per page
Why " <meta name="distribution ..." 3 times??
You have smart quotes in your code. Also, many of these are "expired" https://www.metatags.org/all-meta-tags-overview/the-expired-metatags/
