[OSM-talk] New OSM Quick-Fix service

[Yuri Astrakhan]

Andy, I can only assume you agree with the rest of my argument. As for this
case -- this is not a mechanical edit. Per definition. I looked at each of
these three features, analyzed them, and thought this is a reasonable
change. You could call it a mistake (I am human), but it cannot be called
mechanical.

I have contacted the original author, but haven't heard back.  Judging by
their site, it does look like both a marsh and a monument. You might want
to classify it as something else - that's where the tag expert is needed.
