Bookkeeper does **a lot** of “menial” style edits; moving things wrong wrongly credited instruments (family and membranophone (oh my)) adding dates, merging recordings (which aren’t autoedits anyway) and I believe they were fairly active during our classical cleanups (iirc?)

Anyway these are all things that would benefit from more automation - infact if there were any problematic edits (Not that I’ve seen many of those anyway) it will be easier to spot these should BK become an autoeditor.

Congrats @alf! You’ve been added to the Autoeditors group on the forums as well, so you can now post in here.

Remember, even as an AE, you’re not expected to know everything, so you’re still always very welcome to ask questions! 🙂
