I agree with Pierre-Alain. Whether or not a particular tree is worth noting is a subjective decision, and can be based upon its appearance, its location, what notable events may have occurred near it, etc. Yes, being the only tree for some distance can be a factor, but it isn't the only possible factor. A bot can't judge these other factors; it requires a human with local knowledge, and different people with the same local knowledge may have varying opinions about the notability of a particular tree.

I think you also miss lot of things. Reply you got were mostly sarcastic and it's a vague discussion in an obscur ML. Launch a bot after receiving 3 confuse answers on a mailing list is not a consensus. Many users do not read this thread and discover an unknwon tag in the area they work. It usually consider as a bad thing in OSM to change things without real consensus (long discussion and a majority of the people that participate to the discussion agree) and without any documentation. If everybody act like you did, OSM would become a big mess. On the tree discussion. Yes "tree" tag was starting for remarkable tree but now the real use is for tree. Of course users that tag remarkable tree would see there work disolve by this, but it's allready done. Adding cluster with a bot is not a good option, 2 remarkable tree can be close (i add example here in my town). We have to discuss and found a reasonable option. Original single tree tag was probably an error, because as it has been said, we usually tag remarkable things with a remarkable tag not a common one... -- Pierre-Alain Dorange Why don't i run a bot that change "cluster" to "bazinga", i prefer this word ?
