Hi again, I just noticed Emmor beat me to the answer ... 
I wanted to ad that it can be useful to look at the history of changes in a case like this. Sometime I do this to make sure if the other person possibly had more recent information (or local knowledge, as there was a lot of mapping activity in Nepal in the last years - in some areas I have seen many edits by users with Nepalese sounding names). 

You can find the history if you change to the map view and click on the "History" tab on the top. In this case there were several very new users contributing.

As to the residential areas, I would draw the line around the larger clusters of buildings and leave the others outside. The instructions in this project specify that it should be around "20 or so" buildings. Mappers' styles vary, personally I don't like the tiny "residential areas". 
The important thing is that the buildings are there, so that rescuers can see were people are living.

Maybe the person who drew it was using different imagery. I think it's not in the right place in the middle section (near the mapped path), but I would prolong it to the river in the east. it's not the most important feature at the moment, though.
