[OSM-talk] source=(survey, yahoo, gps...)

Surely if a way needs shifting, it needs shifting, irrelevant of what the source was?

I've seen people, quite rightly, removing nonsensical source tags such as Source=JOSM/Potlatch!!

JOSM & Ptlatch are _not_ the source, just the means by which to input the data into OSM.

The wiki page for source doesn't, for some strange reason, include GPS in its list of Core Values. Any idea why?

If I was to add a source tag I would quite often use "My Eyes", which to me is the most important way of collecting data.

Annoying isn't it, I wish everyone would tag the source of everything
properly so roads don't get shifted because people assume it was from
low-res sat etc depending where it is.
