This history shows the area were you mapped :
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changesets?bbox=-75.6989%2C45.372%2C-75.6065%2C45.4037
Your changeset comments are detailed and describe well what you do. This helps
other mappers monitoring what is done in the area. A bad habit is having a
changeset that covers a continent, contains hundred of modifications and
deletions and says Comment=Keepright corrections. Then, it is very hard to
monitor what was done exactly.
For long names, you can add a short_name tag with an abbreviation. For example
you could add short_name=TD to your TD ATM.
Welcome to the list.

>
>As part of the improvements I've been adding to our local neighbourhood, I
>added a missing strip mall. This is at the intersection of Kilborn and
>Virginia in Ottawa. I suppose I could provide coordinates if needed.
>
>I added in the almost dozen shops and offices, each as a stand-alone node with
>appropriate attributes (amenity/shop/office, plus name, plus
>addr:housenumber). Is this in the spirit of the OpenStreetMap exercise or have
>I gone too far?
>
>As for rendering, it looks like priority has been given to some categories
>over others. The map now shows the ATM and bank, a cafe, and a hairdresser's,
>but not the other stuff. The name of the cafe is in bold and masks the symbol
>of the public telephone outside it. The overall name "Kilborn Shopping Centre"
>no longer shows since I added the detail.
>
>There seems to be similar selectivity at a synagogue just up Virginia. A
>Waldorf school operates there. I added it as a standalone node inside the
>building. Now the name of the school shows, but not the name of the Jewish
>congregation. The Star of David does appear on the structure.
