Hi, Jo:

Thank you for volunteering!

I've been participating in data imports for long since 2012, and I still
forget sometimes to switch back to my regular account. But now it's
quite rare that it happens to me ;)

I do think adding the source tag to objects is a good thing. The
discussion about adding it or not to objects is happening since at least
the Central African Rep., with people for and people against. No
consensus, and it's anyway just a tag, not a major issue.

Cheers,

Rafael.
