I put in Black Press Media as operator, and shortened it to Cowichan Valley Citizen & Lake Cowichan Gazette . Shortens it a bit.

I guess I could throw "alt_name=Lake Cowichan Gazette" at it, it wouldn't show up on the map, but it would show up in a search ....

I am not sure how I could put a second name on the same node/address without getting a level 1 osmose complaint. If you have a trick, let me know !

Why was this simple way changed to a multipolygon ?

looked into it deeper, it may work the way you set it up, I had never seen that method before. Learned something today :)

this is both a car shop AND a motorcycle shop, unfortunately OpenStreetMap does not allow for that, so I had it as 2 businesses so that people searching for either type could find it. Now it shows as car only ...
