Putting the sources on the objects has been deprecated for a while.
Which wiki describes that?
The source should be put on the changeset only.
Apart from JOSM, which editors allow that?
If you are doing edits that involve several different sources, it is
best to split the changes up into different changesets. Of course this
is not always possible, then you can also put several sources in the
changeset source tag. Adding the source to the objects was deprecated,
too fined-grained source tagging simply doesn't make much sense. We
can not track every source for every node, way, or relation or the
parts of them for every tiny change that somebody does.
Could you expand on 'tracking' please?
Individual entities can have multiple source tags added at different
times. It would be far harder to 'track' their sources if only add to
changesets. When editing an object you can instantaneously see the
sources if added to it.
In the end most data will have multiple sources and figuring out what
came from what can only be done going through the changeset tags, not
by looking at the tags on the data itself.
Not true, you can individualize the source tag with hyphens.
