After having looked at a few @osmthis notes, my conclusion is that it rarely helps: the location of the note is not precise enough, and the photo cannot help with finding the poi location. Should use photo + manual location.
Still wondering about this « presume good faith » thing. If every note should be resurveyed on the ground, why not just replace the creator text with « please come survey here » ? And then, just randomly create them around everywhere, just to encourage mappers get out ? Sure, you got someone give an example of two bad faith notes in France, out of 21000 created, 19000 closed ? Are the statistics really worse than that of vandalism ? JB.
