I managed to create 4 notes instead of one due to the interface. Initially I had wanted to add a category to a building, in this case a theatre. Maps.me didn't allow that so I added a note. Touching the tick had apparently no effect (no animation or screen change), so I assumed it hadn't registered and tried again. It was only when I looked at the IRC channel and saw the 4 notes I realised what I had done.
