• I oppose this proposal. (paleontological sites are way older then historic sites, better belongs to natural or a future group of geologic keys)----Mikrokosmonaut 16:39, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
• I approve this proposal. --Alessioz 12:13, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
• I don't like this proposal. same as Mikrokosmonaut. natural=paleontological_site would make more sens as I got the feeling that "historic" has something to do with humans. -- Pieren 12:40, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
• I oppose this proposal. Needs more explanation as to what this is, and where it would be used. --SpeedEvil 14:21, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
• I oppose this proposal. --Socks 14:20, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
• I oppose this proposal. Same reason as Mikrokosmonaut and Pieren, it should be a natural=paleontological_site tag (and also ok with Nop, quite strange to have no description for a vote...) --Nimnael 14:26, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
• I am a wombat --Richard 14:33, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
• I oppose this proposal. Needs a description, needs to explain where it should be used, needs to use natural=* instead since these things are properly Older Than History. --achadwick 14:49, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
• I oppose this proposal. --Phono 15:04, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
• I approve this proposal. --Hanska 17:26, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
• I oppose this proposal. --Onovy 17:57, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
• I approve this proposal. --PerroVerd 18:17, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
• I oppose this proposal. -- Should be natural=* Jono 16:27, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
• I oppose this proposal. The proposal per se is fine, but natural or geological as key would be more appropriate. Note also that the meaning of history in the WP article is "anything in the past", but this is not the meaning of our key historic, as can be seen from tagwatch and the values listed on its description page. --Schuetzm 18:30, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
• I oppose this proposal. -- history is plain wrong. Ipofanes 18:46, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
• I oppose this proposal. historic doesn't mean pre-cambrium, this should rather be natural (I will aprove a simple rewrite) --Skippern 09:31, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you all for partecipate on this Vote/Discussion :-) so ... maybe is better one of this this 2 tag:
1) natural=palaeontological_site http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/palaeontological_site
2) geological=palaeontological_site http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/geological=palaeontological_site
like suggest --Dieterdreist --Mikrokosmonaut --Schuetzm geological as key would be more appropriate.
