Hi,
This looks like an import. In general, imports are supposed to follow the procedure at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines, which includes things like talking with the community so they can discuss the potential impact, making sure the data is high quality and can be properly matched up with data that's already there, and making sure the new data is licensed in a way that's actually legal to import.For this changeset in particular, the data seems good, but I noticed a few places where it didn't match up well with the existing data in the map, either because there was a road to the water nearby that the new data didn't match with or because the slipway was already marked and the new data added a second copy of it.
More problematic, though, I couldn't find any license for the data. All I could find was the site's general copyright statement: "This site is protected by copyright and trademark laws under both United States and International law. All rights reserved. © 2011 - 2014, NH Fish and Game Dept." That isn't enough to say it's legal to add to OSM.
I recommend you post on the imports mailing list describing the data and the work you did to add it. This will give the community a chance to look through and discuss the changes.

This is an import, but I personally went through each and every point to verify that it is where it's supposed to be before uploading the changeset.
The data is from the state's fish and game department and every aspect of this data is simply describing the location of a public boat launching facility.

Following the import guidelines - http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines - it is important to discuss and document a signficant import before adding to OSM. This should help to ensure a more coherent data model as well as a harmonious community.
As it stands, this and the other boat access bulk import at http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/29193535 haven't been through the process suggested by the guidelines and have been flagged up as problematic to the DWG, so we will have to go ahead and revert these changes. Wishing you luck in the discussion of the import.
