Comment from Nakaner
Hi Fatisya Ilani,
are you sure that all the buildings you uploaded are buildings? https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/536861993 looks more like a building without a roof (and is therefore not building).
Please don't forget to add the paths to the settlements. Just dumping buildings in the middle of nowhere does not help a lot.
Best regards
Michael

Hi Nakaner,
Buildings only is perfectly ok. There are far too many hot projects that end up with a totally broken road network.

Hi rab,
buildings only is not ok. OSM is a project to create a database for map rendering, routing and other applications. If you just trace buildings without roads, you are using OSM as a free hoster for your geospatial data. So please add the pathes which lead to the settlements or delete the buildings at all. You are on the way to be featured at Worst of OSM.
Best regards
Michael

Hi Nakaner,
If you follow the link above, you may understand that no road network is better than a bunch of wrong mapped roads. These changeset comments may also be worth reading:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/49446926
As long as the buildings are correctly mapped it's fine with me. The more interesting question is how HOT will ensure that these data are kept up to date.
If you are looking for Worst of OSM candidates then start in Malawi or Tanzania. And don't blame me here for any HOT activities :).
