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>

<p>Welcome!</p>
<p>You can see the diversity of views in answer to your question. <br>
</p>
<p>Presently .. do what seems right for you and the things you map.
<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Some things in OSM have;</p>
<p> more than one way to map them. <br>
</p>
<p>one way that is better than other ways of mapping. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Don't be too fussed, as long as the tags make sense to a human
someone can figure out what was meant and translate it into the
latest OSM tagging method... and that does change over time. <br>
</p>
<p>Please do make changeset comments as an aid to what was mapped..
it helps is you comeback to it some time later. <br>
