Please create a specific user for all the automated edits, that will then be given a bot status. See e.g. Editor:ffimon_bot - Jeroen 16:11, 27 May 2010 (UTC) - Ah, I checked for something like this, but could not find anything in the docs. I created Editor:JeroenBot.
Please limit the number of open edits. You saying that your scripts/reports are error prone and that you're ready to react (cancel edit, fix script) each time someone finds a mistake. However if you're flooding the open edits queue, nobody will ever be able to review your edits and the errors will just silently pass. - Jeroen 16:11, 27 May 2010 (UTC) - What would you propose?
Do you plan to open the source of your scripts? I'm not interested in running them, but if I'm able to check how you're doing your business, I may be able to spot errors at the source. And I'm not really inclined to trust a black box machine. - Jeroen 16:11, 27 May 2010 (UTC) - Sure, if it helps. Do you have a proposed way of doing that?
Do you really 100% trust Discogs? - Jeroen 16:11, 27 May 2010 (UTC) - No, of course not, just like I don't 100% trust MusicBrainz. But I make sure that the tools will never repeat the same edit, so if there's a fix, it won't be re-added. It helps that editors are watching the artists they know. By the way, I'm not focusing on Discogs in particular. I think the next data source on my roadmap are the structured infoboxes on Wikipedia.

Edit:12582655 Two different artists added for only one performance credit - Jeroen 16:11, 27 May 2010 (UTC) - Will do that. Nothing is running now, but before I restart I will add a check for common 'ancestors' in the equivalence map.
