Comment from SomeoneElse
Hello and welcome to OpenStreetMap!
Looking at some of the changes here such as https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/536717413 I think you may be "overinterpreting" the imagery somewhat.
If you look at the different imagery choices available you can get a feeling for the scale quite while, and its clear that none or almost none of the buildings that you've added here actually are buildings (that's clear with both Bing and your custom imagery - in fact your custom imagery, if later, suggests that buildings shown on Bing have been removed).
Assuming you're not in the West Bank at the moment, what I'd suggest is that you try mapping things more locally to you first - often it's useful to look at the imagery of a place you know well to see how certain features look from the air. It can be difficult to tell roads from e.g. riverbeds if you're not careful.
If you're in the UK (guessing, based on your editor locale of en-GB above) then there are lots of local groups both HOT-based and non-HOT based where you can discuss mapping; there are also mailing lists and other forums - https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contact has lots of details.
Best Regards,
Andy
