Forget about my bad examples and the eagerness to pick them.<br>
Here is the original text.<br>
<blockquote type="cite">
<blockquote type="cite">... Despite a "don't touch" note
explaining why not, a good soul passes, not reading note and
makes a "correction".<br>
What is needed here is an "are you sure?" tag named such as
[keyname:]warning="text" that the map editing softwate uses any
time a mapper wants to change that keyname's value to display
the message and ask for a confirmation (by the tag, at the time
he tries to change it, not when he tries to upload a dozen of
such changes).<br>
<text>="Reasons why you shouldn't change that tag. Do you
really want to change it?"<br>
Replying "no" cancels the attempt.<br>
Or should it be [keyname:]note:warn="text" and spare another
wiki page?<br>
keyname can be "geometry" as in source:geometry.<br>
Et voilà. An all-purpose simple guardrail, a small update to
the wiki and passing the word to the editors.<br>

IMHO it may be simpler that some specific implementations and
certainly when their numbers reaches 2.<br>
The answer will be given by JOSM et al.<br>
It doesn't address "mechanical" updates, but the persons doing them
are supposed to know what they're doing, aren't they?<br>

Those examples forgotten, other voices are needed, the wiki update
has almost been written.<br>

General tip: Kotya, do you know that you can have your
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:kotya.lists@gmail.com">kotya.lists@gmail.com</a> account use filters to store messages in
by-the-list folders and access those folders using IMAP with
software like Thunderbird and do things like answering to ancient
mail?<br>
<br>
Cheers
