I understand there are moderators to approve name changes. However, I wonder if the database would be more valid, useful, whatever, if there was a field to list exactly what source was used to propose and validate a name or name change as well as the entry date : e.g. ITIS (2012), The Plant List (2011), TROPICOS, Kew. Everyone would then know the source and the reference date.

Just a thought.
