I am trying to learn the WT standard and seriously need help. On this profile Source 4: We know for a fact the family Surname is Carraway, We use a source that is transcribed by hundreds of different ppl that make hundreds of errors. When you read the Source and compare it to this profile, we give the last name as Canaway to six of the family members, and the last name Canauay to the last two KNOWN children. If we look at the Source ourselves with foreknowledge of the family surname name, shouldn't we as supposed "Genealogists" be just as qualified to Transcribe the record and correct in our records the errors others have made, that may not have the family documents, or records that we know are correct?

This profile and it's sources makes no sense to me. What led me to this record is an Email informing me that I had added a duplicate source on Carraway-3. Albeit, I don't remember making any corrections or edits to Carraway-3 as they aren't in my family tree, I accept I may have made an error on an edit.
