Neither would apply to an Arboretum (even though it's an unnatural landscape on monumental scale, it's not a structure). (FWIW, xref there includes man_made=obelisk and memorial=stele ) It sounds like the wiki expects us to find the plaque or stele etc inside the memorial arboretum and tag it as the historic=memorial, memorial=plaque, etc. and only tag an area thus if the monumental structure has outline worth outlining as closed area way. This memorial park http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/29743732 is not an arboretum, AFAIK, although some of the trees may have been planted trees, it's not about the trees. Unless I find a plaque or other marker, the wiki is not encouraging use of either memorial or monument, although memorial:conflict=WW1 could apply. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:historic%3Dmonument http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:historic%3Dmemorial More info on my Memorial Park area http://fd.ema.arrl.org/SiteDetail.php?site=MemPk
