At what threshold do you hit bulk numbers?
As a rule of thumb, "bulk" starts where you lose the ability to check each object individually! Now this is an interesting situation since you say the buildings have been (I assume) manually traced; someone tracing 2000 buildings directly in OSM would not be considered a bulk importer. But of course if the data has been traced without reference to OSM than it is quite possible that a house overlaps with another house or even a road, forest etc. in OSM. I suggest that you load the data into JOSM, download OSM data in the area, run the validator there *before* uploading, visually inspect the whole thing again, and then upload. Is it all just buildings with building=yes, or also other tags?
