text: Thanks for adding a note to the OpenStreetMap data. It's quite common for people to treat notes in the same way that they are used to on other mapping services. 
  
  This page has lots of detail, but essentially what you need to know is that in this particular case the notes functionality is intended as a way to communicate mapping errors and omissions only.
  
  Sometimes the difference between a personal note and one indicating a mapping omission is subtle, but if your note looks like it may have been added as a way to create a marker for private or publicity purposes you may find that another OpenStreetMap contributor 'resolves' the note (which means it's been marked as dealt with). 
  
  There are very many services based on OpenStreetMap, one of which will probably provide the marker functionality you are seeking.
