Hi WomoMap,
What does official map mean? This question obviously relates to the other comments I sent in other changesets of yours. Who is the copyright owner of this official map, and do you have explicit written consent to be allowed to use it?
Cheers,

Hi dikkeknodel
Thanks for your input.
Source knowledge means: I was there and saw it.
Source "Official Map" means: I looked at an official printed map and saw it.Some questions:
What do you mean by "allowed to use it"? What kind of "use" do you mean?
Thanks for your help.

Hi WomoMap,
Thanks for getting back quickly.
I was concerned your only source was the 'official map'. If that official map has a copyright, you are not allowed to use that as input for OpenStreetMap.
If you see some discrepancy on the official map which you then check locally, or via the allowed imagery (currently DigitalGlobe/Esri/Bing etc.) then it is ok to update. In that case it is clearer if you do not mention any potentially copyrighted info.
Basically you are not allowed to use any other information than the explicitly allowed sources like de imagery by default available in JOSM and mentioned herer [1], and of course the information you gather by going to the location itself. Other information is only allowed if you have written consent, which then should also be publiced at the wiki [1].So In this specific case there is no problem, since you were there yourself to check it.
Cheers,
dikkeknodel
