Hmm, using JOSM for your first edits. Watch out with that. JOSM is very powerful, as they say: “it gives you enough rope to hang yourself”.
Maybe it’s better to start with the online editor Potlatch, compare the defaults of Potlatch with the “advanced view”. When you know enough tags as displayed in the advanced view, you can switch to JOSM, as it are those tags you need for JOSM.
If you just want to search for a tag for that one feature you can’t map, use our wiki: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Main_Page
Thanks for the contributions btw. Names are definitely needed, as that’s what we can’t see from aerial pictures.
