I meant to say: add a note=* tag explaining the situation. Otherwise it indeed wouldn't help, but when you succintly explain the situation, you help not only future armchair mappers, but even local mappers that don't need to go there to verify the situation. I put such a tag on every feature that seems out of place to me, when I personally verify it is correct. (a housenumber in the wrong side of the road, a road crossing others in a strange way, etc) IMO, this is more useful than adding a source=* tag. By the way, the iD editor shows the note to mappers that select the object, even if they don't click to see all tags. (source=* is also shown) 2014-07-01 4:30 GMT-03:00 ael <law_ence....@ntlworld.com>: > On Mon, Jun 30, 2014 at 07:11:08PM -0300, John Packer wrote: > > If the tagging of the object is tricky or not obvious, or it is prone to > be > > miscorrected by armchair mappers, it's useful to add a note in the > > appropriate language with the key note=*. > > Putting notes on every object "armcahir mappers: keep away" is just as > redundant and less informative than a source tag.
