John, I tend to vary it a bit - My normal comment in the box is something like 'imagery was probably slow to load which is why they were missed', but then I often add a link to something like http://learnosm.org/en/coordination/remote/#buildings-compounds-amp-barriers and a casual comment about round huts being explained there, just in case the mapper isn't recognising them.
Sometimes I'm quite happy to do a lot of missed mapping on the basis that it can be quite relaxing & pleasant to do so! If I do add the missing bits, I normally still add the link & send the message just in case there is a learning point. When I'm validating for a mapathon I try to actually see the mapper & get them to add the missing bits. Although quality control is important, helping each other is more important. I don't like to see squares invalidated for little reason as it tends to lead to ill feeling. I only ever invalidate if there is a lot missing though - we can all miss a couple of buildings on occasion. I have genuinely had imagery fail to load properly, so I missed an entire area at one point, and only picked up on it when working on the adjoining square & realising there had to be something I had missed. Keep up the good work.
