I need some help @openstreetmap.

UPDATE: Thanks for all the help!

What do I do, if a business has closed down, and then a new business has taken over the same place?

Do I mark the previous business as “does not exist” and add the new one, or do I edit the existing one?

Good article.

@infeeeee: Regarding deletion of history. Not sure if you simplified, but its not true that deletion of a point will delete its history.

As the article states

Deletion is not erasing the history of an object in the database.

It is just harder to find after deletion.

True! And the “Chronic” feature on www.openstreetmap.org is not really helpful for searching deleted nodes.
