I've edited thousands of names based on photo surveys and official
record research and wouldn't want that high-quality data corrupted.
For myself, I don't know how to determine what the "correct name" would be
... if it doesn't match the street sign, I'd be inclined to change it to
agree with the sign, unless there's a 'note' tag to other mappers.
Similarly, an 'anti-abbreviation-bot' tag would prevent bots from undoing
your research.
When I edit, I populate the source and source_ref with the appropriate
values to cite my source(s) and remove the tiger:reviewed tag if present.
The fact that the object has been edited by a human should be sufficient to
keep the bot from touching it.
