TM3 does at least show the number of tiles validated by a mapper which helps.
My own feeling it is the responsibility of the project manager to find a resource to do the validation since the benefit of more accurate mapping is I assume what they are after. It's also less work overall to catch the mistakes early. Certain projects are validated as new mapping is done but currently there is no list of these but you can look at the % validated on a project. If you are a new mapper I would recommend these to you. Validation is not for everyone. There is a certain amount of repetition involved and often it is some of the least complex parts of mapping that you are validating. Also you need patience although the temptation to just give someone a clip round the ear is near irresistible sometimes. Language can be a barrier. I give feedback in English but often this is not the mapper's first language.
