I've suggested a "source" column in entropedia (that'll change to "manually" on single changes) in my last posts.

But there is a much more simple solution:
The skill scanner could ask for a direct upload to i.e. jdegre.net directly after scanning.

Or gather some people who are willing to provide the unchanged .csv files for that purpose. I keep backups of mine, although i do not verify the scanned values other than by estimated total skills value.

However, let's see what we can gather here, i.e. the 533.3 for athletics and melee combat listed on entropedia always seemed a bit odd to me, imo a result of neglecting the decimals of health before & after chipping.
(not sure if jdegre uses them in his formula though)
