My mind was not agreeing with my heart when clicking "send" because I
feared this reply.

That is exactly why I posted this message, to know the general opinion
about it.
At this time, it's 1 no 2 yes.
I'm waiting for more reactions and if there is not a strong majority of
yeses, I will revert.
So, please say yes if you feel like it, not just no.

By all means, do not tell anybody else that the OSM community until a
decision is made by Monday.

And please everybody, say something else that just noes and tell us what
you think about the Wikipedia link.  That is, a link that is not the
website of the element but to information related to it.

I don't feel like that at all.  There is no boasting.
Would you suppress humanitarian tagging about which there is much boasting?

Cheers

André.
