It is too easy to over look hard work that may have gone into establishing data. A single GPS trace is fine if that is all there is, better to average many GPS traces, in some locations I have 50+.

What would you put in the source tag in this case and does it make a difference?

The inability to mark an object's location as "authorititive" has always seemed like a massive shortcoming of the project to me. Stopping people re-aligning things based on a bad phone GPS or badly aligned aerial imagery is impossible and even realising that things have been incorrectly moved is random at best.
