Comment from Jack the Ripper
Hi James! Welcome to OSM. You requested a review of your edit, so I thought I'd provide some feedback.
Basically, instead of mapping each parking section as a separate parking lot (I think I counted 29!), the entire parking lot should just be one big area. Here's an example of what I mean: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/288863405
There *are* circumstances where it might be better to map parking area separately, and you can see that by looking just northeast and southwest of the example above, in the same shopping center. Basically, because those parking areas really are physically separated from the main lot, it made sense to draw them separately.
Finally, I note that the service road around the parking lot has the "name=Drive Way" tag on it. Generally, the name tag is only for an officially-designated name, such as on a street sign. If there isn't such a sign showing "Drive Way" as the name...then that tag shouldn't be there.
I know you put a lot of effort into drawing all those parking areas, and I hate to throw cold water on you, but...that's just how we map them on OSM.
Please accept the above comments in the helpful spirit in which they were intended! And...happy mapping!
