Thanks for your response.
The Bing imagery is not always that clear. Switch to the ESRI world imagery for a more clearer view. Your mappings often went wrong due to the vague imagery. Also, On this task, the high-rise buildings are incorrect mapped.
You can see both one or more side walls and the roof. The Imagery is taken under a certain angle, so you can see more than just the roof.
Often all visible walls and roofs are mapped as 1 building.
The correct way is to map the roofline and move the whole object on their footprint.

Hello Faheem Chui.
Thanks for mapping here.
You added a lot of tags Layer=1 to buildings.
Why? Probably to avoid errors coming up because you overlapped buildings. Just adjust the buildings where this is the case.
* Quality prevails over quantity!!
Many mappings need to be adjusted.
Best regards and keep mapping.

Thanks for your contribution to this project.
This changeset is reviewed by a Global Validator.
I am sorry to say, but your mappings need to be improved to meet the quality standards of HOTOSM.
Please pay attention to next summarized issues. (see attached document for more info)
A: Not accurately drawn.
C: Collecting multiple buildings and mapping them as 1 building.
E. Buildings not squared.

Further, how to measure the width of a road in IDeditor:
Zoom in as far as possible and draw a line between the shoulders of a trace and click
ctr +shift+M to shows measurements
click on the line between the nodes, and you get the width. When a trace is as narrow as max 2 mtr. tag it as a path.
Short roads leading to a single building or business do not need to be mapped if they can be seen from the main road.
About tagging of highways
Please read and follow the tagging rules on this linked document.
Decision tree, which tag to be used for roads

osm.wiki/East_Africa_Tagging_Guidelines
And, when you map roads/waterways to the edge of your task square, map it a bit over the edge, so other mappers can continue with that object.

I am sorry to say, but your mappings do not meet the quality standards of HOTOSM.
Please pay attention to correct identifying traces as a waterway or highway, as well if it is a path, track or unclassified highway.
When you see a windy trace lined with green, it is mostly a waterway. (2 on this task)

Thanks for your contribution to this project. We welcome you as a new mapper
This changeset is reviewed by a Global Validator.
I am sorry to say, but your mappings are rather sloppy and hardly squared. Please pay more attention by following the outlines of a building (with extensions).
It cost more time to correct these mappings rather than map them again.
Please pay attention to next summarized issues. ( see attached document for more info)

A: Not accurately drawn. (often oversized)
D: Connecting nodes of buildings to other buildings or features like roads and residential areas.
E. Buildings not squared.

Thank you for mapping. You have correctly identified the location of most objects and mapped.
Please also adjust wrongly positioned buildings ( Mapped years ago on Bing) to their footprint.

Reminder: Please be sure to square all rectangular buildings with the Q key

Hello. Thanks for mapping.
Very precise mapped.
Just 1 remark. Don't ad your name to a building. Based on the changeset it is known who mapped these buildings.
Best regards and keep mapping

Hello. Thanks for mapping.
A small point.
When a road crosses a waterway, always add a crossing, like a ford, bridge or culvert, depending on what the image shows. Mostly fords in this area.
Best regards and keep mapping

Hello again.
If you see that a mapped building has no evidence on the ground, you can remove it or move it to another non-mapped building and adjust the perimeter.
btw. A highway tagged as path or track is per default unpaved. No need to tag this additonally.
Best regards

Hello again.
The traces of highways here are that narrow that they should be tagged as path.
How do you measure the width of a trace?
Zoom in as far as possible and draw a line between the shoulders of a trace and click
ctr +shift+M to shows measurements
click on the line between the nodes, and you get the width.
I adjusted the taggings
Best regards and keep mapping

Hello. Thanks for mapping.
You (re)tag track to highway=residential. It is indeed no track. But, the tag residential is to be use within urban areas. Here are clusters of residential areas which are connected by a road. Typical unclassified, or, when it connects multiple settlements/villages, you can consider tagging them as a tertiary highway.
Most roads are unpaved. Add that tag too.
On this wiki is more info about tagging highways.
osm.wiki/East_Africa_Tagging_Guidelines
Do not over extract. Especially in roads / rivers networks, there may be many paths / streams in the imagery. You are not requested to map them all, and most of the time you can trace only the main ones as explained in the instruction.
Main roads are to be tagged as highway=unclassified in general

As a general rule, keep in mind to map at 17-18-19 zoom scale levels for topographic data;
Best regards and keep mapping

Hello. We welcome you as a new mapper.
You are rather productive, i see.
About mapping of highways.
In settlements, there is no need to map every trace. They are only for local interest. When there is a free view, you can limit the highways to through going ones. Narrow traces ( less 2 mtr) are to be mapped as paths, rather than unclassified highways.
It is unlogical that traces, leading off a highway, tagged as path, become an unclassified highway.

When is a waterway a stream or a river.
Simple. When you are able to jump over it , it will be a stream. Otherwise, it needs to be tagged as river. Here, most of them are intermittent.
To know the width of a trace:
control-shift- m: bring up a window that shows measurements of everything you click on or create (area and length)
Please read this wiki about tagging highways in African Countries.
