    initial v1  
    11Please add (more) nagging when a changeset is to be uploaded without a comment or source attribute.

    3 IMHO it is detrimental to OSM to have such changesets; one simple example (I am sure there are better ones): a changeset introducing lots of address data,
    4 no source given - has the address data been copied from a map which is considered a fallback/secondary source only and should thus be checked doing a
    5 survey or has the data actually been collected during a survey? Similarly, empty changeset comments are obviously not helpful for deciding if a changeset
    6 should be checked for quality assurance etc.

    85I'm aware of the fact that JOSM is aimed at advanced users which should probably know better and actually ''do'' provide changeset comment and source, but I still see lots of changesets with one or both of them missing (and also no source attribute on objects).
