Hi John, On some tasks, you do often see that a lot of the data is already there, due to previous mapping. Sometimes all the job is recently done but for some reason it hasn't been marked as "Done" - we suspect that sometimes people aren't sure that they've really done everything in the square. If you look at a square and you're confident that the instructions have already been carried out for this square (no villages missed, etc) then it's valuable to us when you mark it as "Done"... even if it wasn't you that did it!
Also you may also see comments alongside the square, which might give you clues about specific things still to be done.
