We did a clean-up of Mounts and Consorts data in February to try to
catch some of these problems, but it would be good to keep a check in
there to catch future mistakes. These are the clean-ups I did:
Following discussion with JA and SCA, the following Mounts,
Ejaculations, and Consorts were deleted from Interact and Parts:
All MCEs where the actor was female
All MCEs where the actee was male
All MCEs where the female actee had not yet reached menarche
<>All MCEs where the male actor was not yet 4 years old
(This follows the criteria for recording MCEs in the monitoring guide.)
In addition to the gender checks, do we want to have the age/maturation
checks in there as well? I don't see why not, if those are the ground
rules for recording MCEs. Is that feasible, Karl?
