[OSM-newbies] Adjacent areas

[Donald Campbell II]

I'm wondering what the proper way to create an adjacent area is.  For
example here<http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=6.805586&lon=-58.161404&zoom=18&layers=M>there's
a prison that takes up a full city block.  Does one draw a square
using the same 4 existing nodes from the intersections around it?  Or should
one zoom in and put 4 new nodes close to the existing ones?

I do most of my editing in JOSM but can also use Potlatch when the need
arises.
