It would be useful if you had taken a photo as a proof.

haha, I drive past it every day.... (and if you want to cheat, it's even visible without blanking out on google street view)

It could be worse. I had someone add a road that didn't exist straight from StreetView and Locator. I wouldn't have minded as much if they hadn't done it after I'd left hints in the database to the effect of "no, really, this road isn't here".

Are we really to the point that edits need to be backed up by photographic proof? Afterall, c2r indicated "survey" as the source and (s)he has been involved in the project since 2007. It would be different if c2r where a new editor and started on a street name editing spree (vandal behavior).

It also shows that the "source" tag is very important. In the first edit there were no "source" tag...

It's silly to assume the 'My data is right everyone else is wrong' attitude.

If you add SOURCE then subsequent editors will be able to make a more informed decision before altering…. :)
