IMHO it also depends on context, if you are in a monumental setting with everything huge, a 5 meter stone cross might be just a small insignificant part of it, and could eventually be considered a memorial by the mapper, if instead this is an isolated feature I would be more inclined to map it as monument.

[Tagging] Proposed tag shop=wholesale
I propose to create the tag shop=wholesale for stores that sell large quantities of merchandise in bulk, such as Costco and Sam's Club. Many such stores require a membership to join.

I agree with the general concept, but there needs to be a way to differentiate Costco/Sam's/BJ's from other types of wholesalers. I can't think of anything better besides something like shop=department_store and some additional tag(s) to indicate membership is required to do business there (access=members maybe?). -- Shawn K.

A wholesale merchant sells to retailers and service businesses, usually not to consumers. Warehouse clubs are a better description of Costco and Sam's club. +1 price club started out as restaurant and convince store supply. It slowly grew into a consumer outlet. But there are many stores open to he public that cater to professionals in that business - meaning their *stock* is tailored to the professional vs the consumer - a consumer doesn't have the need nor the knowledge to shop at a professional shop, though they can enter and buy if they want. These stores are valuable but uncommon, and are usually really focused on a specific industry. I used to got to an industrial supply store - high end tools, high end consumables, and high-end hardware (bolts, fasteners, etc) that are not house building bolts and screws like you'd find at Home Depot. http://goo.gl/maps/isNqa That shop is not meant for a consumer, but consumers can shop there.
