Ira, the issue with that edit was that name:<lang>= is supposed to be a translation of name= tag into that language.
What you had was "name=West 103rd Street" and  "name:en=Norman Rockwell Place", which is most definitely not a translation.

Since in NYC sometimes we have multiple names for the same street, for example 6th Ave can referred to Ave of Americas and other similar situations, and sometimes the city assigns these dedication names, such as "Odessa Steward Street", we needed more tags to distinguish them. Hence the honorary_name=* tag.
Keep in mind that not all dedication names are for dead people, so memorial_name=* is might not be applicable in all situations.
