No, that's a lesson learned from working in the german Wikipedia.

All those "it would be nice if you would do ...". It's no good to tell 
people that they have to do this and that and please don't forget 
whatnot. All for the best of the project. It annoyed me so much, that I 
no longer work for the wikipedia.

For me: The less things "you should do to be a good mapper", the better 
for OSM.
