Sourcing is so important. When I see a file that has no sources or very vague sources I always wonder what the quality of the "research" is. I might hang on to the file as a "clue" but would never import unsourced data into my Family File, esp if there's a conflict and I know from my sources that I have the correct information.
Of course, some people leave off the sources hoping that interested parties will contact them for that information.... That falls apart when addresses (both physical and/or email) change and aren't updated or the submitter dies.
