In this changeset you've changed a bunch of towers from "man_made=lookout_tower" to "man_made=tower". Regardless of the rights and wrongs of that, it would have been only polite to let people know who try and render specific rural stuff that the change was happening, so that if they're rendering or extracting "lookout_tower" they know to change their rendering.
Openstreetmap is a collaborative project; we need to work together to create the best map. By making changes like this without letting people know you're failing to do this.
Cheers,

Hi Andy, you should write a wiki page for a new tag. Even if it is not a proposal. There are of course still the rules are complied with. See http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposal_process

@geozeisig OSM's great strength is that it allows people to "just map stuff" without reading pages and pages of instructions first. They follow their mental map of "which things are like other things", not the one of someone with no knowledge of the subject area at all. When it comes to "making that first edit", we really shouldn't be fussy.
However the reason that I commented on this changeset wasn't because of the quality or otherwise of the original tagging, it was because you changed it without discussion. There may be a very good reason to change a tag (e.g. highway=ford on a way to ford=yes and highway=something), but it's important that people using the data for any purpose know about the changes that are being made. If we fail to do that OSM data will just be seen as "unreliable" and "untrustworthy".
