As a rule of thumb, "bulk" starts where you lose the ability to check<br/>
each object individually!<br/>
<br/>
Now this is an interesting situation since you say the buildings have<br/>
been (I assume) manually traced; someone tracing 2000 buildings directly<br/>
in OSM would not be considered a bulk importer. But of course if the<br/>
data has been traced without reference to OSM than it is quite possible<br/>
that a house overlaps with another house or even a road, forest etc. in OSM.<br/>
<br/>
I suggest that you load the data into JOSM, download OSM data in the<br/>
area, run the validator there *before* uploading, visually inspect the<br/>
whole thing again, and then upload.<br/>
<br/>
Is it all just buildings with building=yes, or also other tags?<br/>
<br/>
