The wiki page says "Don't use it to put your personal notes here. Notes 
should be of wider interest and make sense to other mappers".
So you can add notes as reminders for yourself, so long as they are also 
helpful for other mappers. I have added a few notes as reminders for 
things to check. Sometimes I get back there to survey it myself, 
sometimes another mapper fixes it first. It doesn't really matter who 
fixes it, its still improving the map.

To see a list of your notes, go to your user page on openstreetmap.org, 
and click the link for "My Notes".
