<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Memorial=* tag is a bit broken at the moment. Its values can be both, what the memorial looks like, and what it commemorates. So the most common value is war_memorial, and that says what it commemorates. Almost all other values say what it looks like, so IMHO, we should stick with the "what it looks like" usage of the tag. Memorial=marker says more about what it commemorates, and very vaguely, so I wouldn't use this one. I read the stele wikipage[1] and that doesn't look right. So in my opinion, we should invent a new value that references freestanding stone plaques. So I have a few suggestions:</div><div><br></div><div>
memorial=freestanding_plaque <br></div><div>
memorial=freestanding_stone</div><div>memorial=stone_plaque</div><div>
memorial=freestanding_stone_plaque
</div><div><br></div><div>or something like that..<br></div><div><br></div><div>Janko Mihelić</div><div><br></div><div>[1] - <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stele">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stele</a><br></div></div></div><div><br></div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Thu, Oct 18, 2018, 05:49 John Willis <<a href="mailto:johnw@mac.com" target="_blank">johnw@mac.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Thanks, but marker only has seven uses - stele has about 5000.<br>

Also- Marker, to me, would be something you would find in the ground with a number or a pole with a number on it, or something based around a ref number or value of some sort (like a mile marker). <br>
<br>
In the US, a "historical landmark" or "marker" is usually a plaque embedded in a pedestal or stone, so it is memorial=plaque, with about 10,000 uses. <br>
