[Talk-GB] 'Sources' tags

[Michael Booth]

 From the wiki:

Tags <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag> such as imagery_used=Bing 
are set automatically by the iD editor 
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/ID> and Vespucci 
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Vespucci> on changesets 
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Changeset>. It indicates which 
imagery (e.g. which aerial imagery 
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Aerial_imagery>) was being 
displayed in the editor while the user made the changes. It doesn't 
necessarily mean the imagery was actually used as a source, though it is 
pretty similar to Key:source 
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:source>.

If you make an edit in using Bing and then another using Maxar, both 
will be listed by iD, same with Mapillary, etc.
