Unfortunately, a mechanical edit looks exactly like what you're doing - 
see https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/53598691 for example.  The 
tags on that as they stand (before or after your edit) don't make a 
whole lot of sense - likely there's a whole bunch of stuff there yet to 
be mapped, and maybe someone more familiar with the area would know if 
either the "memorial" or "marsh" tags make any sense.

Best Regards,
Andy
