I think they tag certain "higher-profile" actors when they feel like 
there is a greater likelihood of some internet troll messing with their 
filmographies. So they put any changes for these actors under higher 
scrutiny, and have someone double-check their changes.

I'm guessing, but it's an educated guess.
