1 year ago Great, wasn't sure my other issue was phrased as a request or just a really grumpy rant. Thanks!

@jldunnumhttps://github.com/jldunnum you requested that in another issue, I'm working on it.

I've mentioned this in various contexts from time to time, but maybe its never been the topic: I have everything I need to georeference, or check the georeference of, perhaps 95% of all events.
Can this just be 'part of Arctos' - can we just automatically georeference anything that isn't in some transparent way?
If that isn't acceptable for some perplexing reason, would anyone use something like a georeference bot that could be turned on to do this by collection?
If none of that's acceptable - and I hope that isn't the case - then maybe I should do less with the automation; instead of appearing in various searches for probably-cryptic reasons (eg because I have a bunch of complicated behind-the-scenes code running), perhaps records with cruddy or nonexistent georeferences should just be excluded from most results (by virtue of having poor data, not by any extra exclusionary action)?
I have cool data; please help me do something interesting with them!
