What exactly do you mean when you say "Source Writer" citations are changed to "Basic" in a GEDCOM? Are the reworded? Parts left out? How would they be different?

If they aren't, then the SourceWriter Templates can help you create a better source. I've converted some and not others and still have some to go. That's because when I was first sourcing 15 or so years ago, I didn't do it very well for some sources as I didn't fully understand what I was looking at.

So..... is there any reason too - or value in - me re-entering sources that I originally entered using the Basic System and using SourceWriter instead?? So far, I'm just thinking the value of Source writer is the templates provided What do you think???
