Yes, those are castles. I think i would use one on the wiki page as “here is a castle”, as they look like what an american imagines a castle to be. The current values proposed under castle_type seem to cover them and probably most of the structures non-europeans think of as “castles" - and a lot of buildings I would call palaces or estates or something. When I see a manor home, I certainly don’t think "castle". The White House is a palace under these tags (i think), and I have never thought as the white house as a castle. This is definitely a regional/cultural semantics difference in “castle”. To me, as a layperson, “castle” seems to stereotypically much more narrowly defined. But I am not an expert on castles nor those homes, nor do I intend to be - so if that’s the case, and how people interested in castles want to tag it, then go ahead. Hearst Castle could be considered a manor. I am just wondering if we should have a “modern/reproduction/styled” value for the inevitable situation when someone tags a replica or a much more more modern “styled” structure as a castle - or if we just put on the wiki what those things should be tagged as. and also - how do we handle the grounds? is there landuse=castle?
