First of all, I'm not against putting these things into OSM as they often can be used as a good landmark in rural areas. Actually I'm a bit unsure about these two proposals because: - maybe they are too detailed - so we will end up with a lot of very detailed but highly related tags (which are then hard to learn) - maybe put both proposals under religion? Won't these often still be used for local pilgrimage so their "not so historic"? Or course this is a border case, as most of these are often rather old. - there's already historic=memorial http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Tag:historic%3Dmemorial which interferes with your proposals I think. Maybe simply use it and extend it, add a subtag for these special memorials? AFAIK, often these wayside things were raised to "thank god and virgin Mary that I've survived this thunderstorm in 1857" or such - so in fact they are a sort of memorial anyway ;-) However, as these are often weathered, today it might be hard to find out what actually is being memorized upon. Again, I'm just unsure how to find a good tagging solution for this, but I'm not convinced of the current proposals ... Regards, ULFL P.S: While I tend to put comments into the proposal page, I didn't want to have two discussions about the same thing - so I'll use the ML for this one. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk
