[Tagging] Possible merge of marine_rescue & lifeboat_station tags?

[Peter Neale]

I agree; whilst we often need to explain, or refine, a definition in the Wiki, we should NOT radically change the definitions of words.  "Marine" means "relating to or found in the sea" (Oxford Dictionaries), so we should not re-define it to mean "relating to any watery object".
The Wiki should be amended to align more closely to real life.

exactly, it does not work and would lead to problems in the future. While you can write in the wiki that black is green, people are going to ignore it or miss it and continue to expect that black should be black and green not be a part of the blacks.
