Package: referencer
Version: 1.0.2-1
Severity: normal

Presently, if I manually correct the errors in the information Referencer
downloads from crossref.org (see bug #423584) and then accidentally select
'get metadata' for an article that needed correcting, Referencer will wipe
out my corrections and put back the bad information from online.

Referencer should, for each piece of metadata in its library, keep
track of whether that information was provided by the user, imported from
another reference library, scraped out of the document, or downloaded from
an online source, and should never overwrite information from a source
earlier in this list with information from a source later in this list.

This may sound like a wishlist feature, but it's not, because not doing this
causes data loss.
