The Quality Checker looks at all, not just tagged, Sources?
Here on Brita ( https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LZNW-58L) none of the tagged sources give her birth year as 1893.
There is an indexed source for the birth record of a son who may still be alive that does show 1893. The index does not have an image but checking the image at the Norwegian archives site, the record does indeed have that 1893, which is an error.
Does this mean that the quality checker is looking at all sources, not just tagged ones, for consistency with sources and that we can't avoid having a source with incorrect information trigger the flag by just not tagging it?

Which I guess you do want. By checking all sources, the sources that came in from a bad merge should all show up as major inconsistencies.

But implied birth years from censuses can be all over the place… I really don't want to start dismissing a whole series of different date warnings from censuses when so many would show up such an issue.
(I presume there already must be a tolerance given that the majority of censuses will not give the correct year of birth when using age to calculate it)

@Adrian Bruce1 Thanks for the comment. We currently try to account for the differences in dates in censuses with a wider tolerance than dates in other records.
@Gordon Collett Thanks for the question. For conclusions that a person can only have one of (Birth, Death, etc), we compare against all indexed sources.
