    10 First JOSM performs a quick check on the data you're about to upload. If it finds warnings or errors you'll be presented with a list of them and get the chance to correct the problems and try again or upload anyway. It's not necessary to fix all of that, but please don't go over it easily, especially not the errors.
     10If the [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/JOSM/Plugins/Validator Validator plugin] is installed, JOSM now performs a quick check on the data. If it finds warnings or errors you'll be presented with a list of them and get the chance to correct the problems and try again or upload anyway. It's not necessary to fix all of that, but please don't go over it easily, especially not the errors.

    1212Finally JOSM will present you with a list of changed or newly created elements for reviewing it. You're also asked to provide a short freetext summary of your edits. This description will be saved with your data on the server and serves information purposes like for example the [http://openstreetmap.org/browse Recent Changes list]. If you fixed an error in the data by deleting a way not existing anymore in reality, this is something you should definitely mention.
