Source for this should be http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/5854-Sanrock-Terrace-Dr-Montgomery-AL-36116/118933070_zpid/

Comment from SomeoneElse
Is the use of Zillow's listings permissable licence-wise? Their main page says "© 2006-2015 Zillow". Their main terms page http://www.zillow.com/corp/Terms.htm would suggest not, unless we have some specific agreement in place (as with Bing imagery) to re-use their data?

Note also OSM expects names to be fully expanded, so "Dr" should be "Drive". A better source would be the latest TIGER data available as a layer in the editors

SK53: Thanks for bringing it up! I have made the necessary changes.

SomeoneElse: Thank you for flagging this. The source for the missing name was primarily TIGER 2014 which says `Sanrock Terrace` but seemed incomplete. The external source was only to get the full name `Sanrock Terrace Drive` and not for the location. From my knowledge streetnames cannot be copyrighted, so went ahead with the addition, but you are right that we should just stick with TIGER as the source till a local mapper can verify it on the ground. Will be more careful of such edits in the future and would add a note instead, thanks again.

@ramyaragupathy : streetnames might not be copyrightable but bulk copying from another database is not legal in EU (and not ethical for OSM). Unfortunately bulk copying in this context means 500,000 people doing 1 edit each. After all if we dont follow this rule we have relatively little traction to stop BigCo from getting its crowdserfs to copy individual OSM features.
