What would you put in the source tag in this case and does it make a difference?

The inability to mark an object's location as "authorititive" has always seemed 
like a massive shortcoming of the project to me. Stopping people re-aligning 
things based on a bad phone GPS or badly aligned aerial imagery is impossible 
and even realising that things have been incorrectly moved is random at best.
