### Physical Verification and Local Knowledge
Our main goal is to provide the public with an accurate data-set and locals know best. Please try to prioritize locations with close physical proximity to you. Make sure that you're relying on the most accurate data, such as:
Our main goal is to provide the public with an accurate dataset and locals know best. Please try to prioritize locations with close physical proximity to you. Make sure that you're relying on the most accurate data, such as:
- On-site survey
- Direct phone/email/socials
- Various online sources (be careful about [copyright](tagging-instructions.html#copyright)), not all online data is free to use! The official website of the merchant is usually the best online source.

Relying on a form submission without any additional checks is strongly discouraged. The information submitted should be verified to ensure we are adding accurate data to OpenStreetMap.
### Double-check Coordinates
If taking on issues submitted from the Add Location form, you can and should make adjustments to the exact pin location IF you notice it is incorrect. The person submitting the location will not be a mapping expert and that is ok - this is where the extra validation by the Supertagger can help improve the data accuracy. Any submissions with completely invalid locations (like in the middle of the ocean) can be closed as not-planned with the reason provided in a comment.

### Source of Data
Each submission will contain information about the source of the data so that taggers will know if it was completed by the business owner, a customer, or by another method. Some submissions may also include contact information which can be used to follow-up if further information is required.
