<pre wrap="">Hi,
I just mapped my third tank in about a month and I'm still wondering why it isn't documented in the Wiki alongside historic=aircraft, historic=locomotive etc. There's quite a few of them mapped already, according to Taginfo. One could argue that tanks are more often than not parts of war memorials (like here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ad/Starovi%C4%8Dky-pam%C3%A1tn%C3%ADktankov%C3%A9bitvy-1.JPG/1067px-Starovi%C4%8Dky-pam%C3%A1tn%C3%ADktankov%C3%A9bitvy-1.JPG">https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ad/Starovi%C4%8Dky-pam%C3%A1tn%C3%ADktankov%C3%A9bitvy-1.JPG/1067px-Starovi%C4%8Dky-pam%C3%A1tn%C3%ADktankov%C3%A9bitvy-1.JPG</a>) so they don't have to be mapped as stand-alone objects, but this is not always the case (today, I mapped a tank that's an open air museum exhibit, the other day I saw one serving as a mascot of a military school). Is it perhaps because the word "tank" can also mean a container for
liquids? Maybe we should use something like historic=armoured_vehicle?
Regards,

For the nearby tanks, one is a <a
href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1645427815">historic=monument</a>
and the other a <a
href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4219526321">tourism=attraction,
attraction=tank</a>.<br>
To me, tourism attraction sounds disrespectful for the men who died
and I prefer memorial=tank.<br>
Usual OSM inconsistencies.<br>
Other searches seem to show that "tank" is known around the world,
so, adding historic=tank or better memorial=tank is a +1 to me.<br>
Else, it would be *=war_tank, but nobody would search for that.<br>
And what's the problem with tank anyway, is there anything like a
historic liquid container anyway?<br>
<br>
That problem is a mild one.<br>
I asked how to tag posts where people wait for cars to pick them,
both subscribed to a system called fr:covoiturage=en:car-sharing.
Nobody would answer.<br>
So, I tagged them as car-sharing with a sub-tag indicating
hike-sharing.<br>
They were nicely showing on OSM.org and I showed samples to the
organizers.<br>
But in the meantime they had that rendering removed and I sounded
like a fool.<br>
That's the way OSM goes. Your perfect tagging is turned to mistakes
too without warning.<br>
And that's what's unhappily turning me away from OSM much.<br>
<br>
Cheers
