<div dir="ltr">Rob,<div>First welcome to OSM. </div><div><br></div><div>When adding businesses, I use the convention that if the building holds multiple businesses, then each business is a separate node.

All the buildings seem to have been mapped, but many of the businesses are not mapped or have incomplete information, so I've been adding in the business names that aren't there and editing the ones that have incomplete info. I noticed that some businesses are polygons whereas others are points within a polygon. I was wondering which way is correct.</span></font></div><div><font face="times new roman, serif"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br></span></font></div><div><font color="#000000" face="times new roman, serif">Best,</font></div><div><font color="#000000" face="times new roman, serif">Rob</font></div></div>
