MatchBot is running again. Liz updated the MatchBot Project page in regards to this. We have limited the run to 50 profiles per night.
The match parameters still need to be updated to avoid the really "bad" matches that it makes - just name and date of birth for example. However, we felt that it was important to have it resume as it does point out valid duplicates. It also allows us to tag old profiles with an 'unsourced' tag, which hopefully someone will then work on during a Sourcing Sprint.
Until we can work with the developer to update the match criteria, you will see some that only have a match for Name and Year of birth.
We have been monitoring the matches and rejecting any that have a privacy level that allows us to review them.
We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience until we can update the match criteria.
If we are voting to keep or get rid of it, I vote keep but then again I'm a little bit biased. ;-)
Thanks,
Susan
