But we might consider creating a dropdown box with frequent messages like: error corrected in tag: new mapped area: more accurate positioning: Beatification of data: added waters: routing data: added POIs:
to populate the comment box and of course stimulate users to do so by clearly explaining the relevance.

I'm very surprised about that. On Mediawiki, it's optional and if you look history, you see that many people don't write comments. And if you look my wiki contributions, I sometimes write comments and sometimes not. Adding unnecessary constraints will not the project easier for newcomers. If you make it as an obligation in JOSM, you will see comments like "safhsihufwieu" which will not help and just make some contributors like me irritated. Please, please, please, forget this idea of making comments an obligation.
