mmm, I cannot edit back a diary entry. Well, I wanted to complete with the following.
I'm new to openstreet map, so the mapping will not been so well directly, I'm intent to continue mapping on Schifflange (trying, for learning, to use there most of tagging possibilities) and also some place around in direction of Belgium (on the west) and some road on the south (also in France).

I hope that you mean Yahoo aerial photographs, not Yahoo maps? Don't use maps - this undermines the whole point of Openstreemap. See osm.wiki/index.php/Legal_FAQ#Can_I_trace_data_from_Google_Maps.2FVirtual_Earth.2FOrdnance_Survey.2F....3F
We can use Yahoo aerial photos because of an agreement in place between OSM and Yahoo on the interpretation of their licence terms, so don't use other copyrighted aerial photos.
Don't worry about feeling that you aren't doing such a good job as you're just starting. Everyone has to start somewhere, and chances are you're doing better than you though!
