The problem with the source tag on objects is there are usually a few different sources, and different sources for the existence, location of the object and then different sources for each tag. Then over time as other contributors change tags, the source tag can become incorrect. What's worse is if people feel like they can't edit an object since it's got a source tag then it looks like an import that can't be touched. I still add source to individual objects where I can, and change existing source tags if I modify an object in a way that the original source no longer applies, but it's not mandatory. You should at a minimum specify the source on the changeset though, that's helpful for other mappers to understand an edit. >
