For a novice?  One building, or a short stretch of road, or a small
park.  They'll almost always make mistakes, and small changesets let
you suggest better ways of doing things without overwhelming them with
"Square your corners, every object needs a tag, not just a name,
don't use descriptions for unnamed things, 'motorway' means an
interstate, not 'any road you can drive on', schools should be tagged
on the school grounds, not the individual buildings, 'living street' is
almost exclusively a European construct, 'oneway=no' is redundant on
almost all road types, and locally, Bing is the lowest-quality image
option -- use this one instead."
