We have a small network of librarians on a slack channel who have merged more than 10,000 duplicate works.
Librarians (which is a permission role) also have the ability to merge Authors, so data improves over time.
Furthermore, members of our community coordinate with Wikidata, VIAF, etc -- we match up identifiers and sync data (and in this way, bots are able to make meaningful changes in bulk on a rolling basis).
