It sounds like you're approaching things the right way, but generally
don't be *too* afraid of changing existing data. With time, you will
learn how to judge the quality of existing data by looking for cues
like "source" tags etc. Adding lots of "fixme" and "note" type
comments will also assist future users in deciding what to make of
*your* edits...
