I think the guidelines cover it nicely. I'll sprinkle a few pointers around.
I've found changeset comments don't work terribly well with HOT mappers. By the time I stumble across a problem it's a year or more later and they last mapped 9 months ago. In theory they do have a validation process but in practice they have fewer validators than they need. The other problem is currently many have a comment saying Microsoft buildingfootprints. DWG them and the quick solution is to leave the comment off. It's a balance between adding a lot more buildings in and adding too many. In some areas with few buildings they are useful. With the new mapathon clean up tools in JOSM duplicate buildings aren't a major problem and these buildings are a lot better than many drawn with ID but an ounce of prevention saves a lot of clean up plus until it is cleaned up it messes population estimates up. Thank you for the pointer.
