Hi David, 

Make sure that you georeference the nearmap imagery before changing anything, ie find something that has been surveyed and align the nearmap imagery with that.

1) Don't change ways tagged as survey unless it is really incorrect or it's going to improve the information, also look at the gps traces already uploaded to osm.
2) If your not sure about something then that would be a good start.
3) Post a message to this list with the lat/long and someone will come along and fix it.
