It's a great resource for naming streets traced from Yahoo. When doing so,
please tag your work as source = Gregory's 1949 (or more commonly,
source:name = Gregory's

Encouraging on a quality contol level
HI Darren,
Please excuse me for taking your quote a bit out of context but
My concern is if someone traces a road from Yahoo, and then it gets tagged
from a source other than the street signs
then the road is complete but has never been surveyed.

This is really simple.
If the source=survey don't change it unless you have resurveyed it.
Under no circumstances change source=survey data with traced data.
It is simple, but there are mappers who have done so.
Then if someone has not marked

My thoughts on this is if it's not tagged then it's not surveyed.

Initially I didn't tag my surveyed stuff as source=survey
There is just so much to learn about what really needs to be recorded, and I
once thought that unmarked stuff
I have since been tagging very extensively with source. I only trace stuff
like rivers, canals and railways that I am not going to be travelling
down.
Like wise.
Maybe there needs to be some thought put into the osm side of things about
survey being a required tag.
ie the editors (josm etc)
There is a substantial amount of data with no source tag. I'd really like
to
know whether it was traced or surveyed, because then I'd know whether to go
down that street or not.
Liz,
I think there was a recent discussion about this and there was a school of
thought that said that if there

Ok how about
amenity=toilets

PS - there have been some interersting discussions about tempory features
like Black Rock City (Burning Man).
Also should OSM have historical data (as either seperate

source=* is different, since just because you tweak a few road bends
from a GPS track doesn't mean it wasn't derived from Yahoo tracing.
I'd suggest source=yahoo;gps in that case.
