Comment from SomeoneElse
Personally, I wouldn't add "place=isolated_dwelling" for things such as http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4239537498 . If a house is visible on the Bing imagery I'd add that as a house, and if the name's visible on OS OpenData I might be tempted to add that as a house name, but house and farm name information on OSSV is so out of date that I'd definitely add a "source:addr:housename" or similar for it.
The nearby http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4239537556 might still be called that and might still be a farm, but many former farms house light industrial units or have become essentially residential. Bing here suggests "farm or light industrial" rather than "residential".
Best Regards,

Why wouldn’t you, too close to Thirsk? While I use addr:housename for residential houses within larger dwellings (e.g. villages), my idea on remote places is that users should easily find them in the map, therefore I enter their names as a place on its own (provided it has a name, of course). Am I right in thinking isolated_dwelling is for places which are too small even to be called a hamlet?

Comment from SomeoneElse
There's a fair amount of overuse of "isolated_dwelling" in the UK (possibly because the standard style renders it, and used to render it more prominently than it did now). I've always thought of "isolated_dwelling" as being for places that really are places - not just houses on the outskirts of villages. Half way between Sutton and Thirsk isn't very isolated (I know the road well). There was some discussion on talk-gb about it relatively recently.

Possibly because there are so many scattered dwellings in the British countryside :-) As I said, in my idea on OSM usability, someone may tell me, "I live in Melrose, near Thirsk", I’ll reply, after a quick search, "yep, got it in my map, dont need further description". If this works on addr:housename as well with remote places, I’ll be happy to confine myself to more isolated places in using isolated_dwelling.

Strongly agree with @SomeoneElse. The place=isolated_dwelling tag is almost always a mistake in Britain. For large distinctive isolated buildings (country houses for instance) adding name to the building is fine, for smaller residences this information belongs in addr:housename. Where an isolated dwelling is an actual topographic name use place=locality. Many 'isolated dwellings' these days are 2-3: say original farm house, the farm bungalow (warmer than former) and old workers cottages may all look to be one site, but the old house is a second home, the bungalow is where the famer lives, and the cottages are holiday lets. They're often hard to disentangle even by survey, so at a minimum a source tag is needed.

Comment from GinaroZ
place=locality is for an unpopulated place though

Comment from kreuzschnabel
Right Ginaro – locality is for named hillsides, pastures etcetera. (Hillsides are often tagged natural=peak which is wrong unless there really is a visible peak.)

Comment from SK53
Don't be too wedded to wiki definitions. Often the locality name covers a broader area than just the buildings which have the same name. Sometimes the locality came first, sometimes the buildings. Unless one has detailed research/local knowledge it's not easy to decide & EPNS researchers spend years on such problems. Notwithstanding the wiki and mapping by abc* (often incorrect) use of place=isolated_dwelling is scarcely used in the UK. I would suggest further discussion for a wider audience on talk-gb.
