Subject: Re: [Tagging] historic=memorial tagging question


Thanks, but marker only has seven uses - stele has about 5000.

Also- Marker, to me, would be something you would find in the ground with a 
number or a pole with a number on it, or something based around a ref number or 
value of some sort (like a mile marker).

In the US, a "historical landmark" or "marker" is usually a plaque embedded in 
a pedestal or stone, so it is memorial=plaque, with about 10,000 uses.

True, but I was reluctant to use "stele" because, according to Wikipedia, the word usually refers to ancient objects of archaeological interest.  And I doubt if many people in the US are familiar with that word.
