What object are you proposing to tag in this way? Maybe I am missing

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".

What about a modern memorial? Can that be "of historic interest", if it is

The "tap" is the device to control the flow. Often, but not necessarily, at

Like Dave, I am not sure that I see a huge issue with a name and a reference
duplicating each other (or at least overlapping).

"things"; they are proper nouns.

Busses stop at bus-stops and the route information shows which bus-stops they
