+ (Object) verify_person(person_id)

goes through every single thing related to a person and approves it if a user approves a person, they also approve everything related to that person. So, if you see something funny on an unapproved person's details, then you shouldn't improve. TODO: this method is very slow. Investigate optimizations.
