Are you sure this is a shelter as defined here?
amenity=shelter

Ah, checking again: the area where you added a cafe looks like it could actually be an industrial gravel mixing station...?

Hi Guodawai,
you added an NGO office here -- the name says "mixing station" though if I can trust Google. Are you sure that's an NGO and not a company?

cheers,
Matthias

Hi Witya,
I removed those name tags from the motorcycle shop because they're not names. They may have a sign saying "Bike for rent" but the name will be something like "Noy's Motorbike". If it has an English name at all -- and I don't think it has a Russian name on any sign, does it? The "shop" and "motorcycle:rental" tags are sufficient to say it's a motorbike rental; you can just leave the name off if you don't know it.

cheers,
Matthias

Hi Mandy,
thanks for adding those missing streets! Regarding your classification I have some doubts though; why would the one north of Khoun Boulom for example be an unclassified one instead of residential? Same with the one south of Asean. You haven't checked on the ground, have you?

cheers,
Matthias

Hi, welcome to OSM!
I just fixed a few things about your contribution:
- Please don't map things that are not of public interest, like "My house". If everybody did that, we'd have thousands of "My house" places and nobody could tell them apart anyway.
- Same with "my football field", but I saw you fixed the tags already - "sports: pitch" is fine. I just removed the name.
- Take care that your street is properly connected to the main street. The type should be "highway: residential" in this case. "Tertiary" are usually through streets that have a number.

Have fun and do add your favorite places with proper names ;)

cheers,
Matthias

Are you sure there is a viewpoint there? Near Dongdok? Sounds dubious to me.

Perfect, thanks and keep it up :)

Hi Beager,
that's a strange phone number for Vientiane. Sure it's not 021 (VTE landline) or 020 (cellphone)?
By the way, it's always a good idea to canonicalize numbers to international format, i.e. leave off the 0 and add +856 for Laos.

cheers,
Matthias

Hi Tou,
are there actually two different travel agencies?
I fixed the phone number to list both numbers -- please don't put the phone number into the house number field, that's supposed to be the number of the house on the street.

Cheers,
Matthias

No, Benoni was mapped already :)

50216984 over 8 years ago

Are you sure that's a shop where you can buy electronics? "Sandy Internet" sounds like amenity=internet_cafe

50348093 over 8 years ago

Sure this is is a campsite like this?
tourism=camp_site
I visit this area l lot and haven't seen any, although a lot of things have changed there.

Hi Thierry,
welcome to OSM! Sorry I had to make a few changes to your first edit: Benoni Cafe was mapped already; the hotel without a name positioned almost right on the street makes little sense (maybe that was a first attempt for TripleThree?), and while I think Triple Three Condo is valid, it looks more like tourism=apartment may be the right tag. I know Maps.ME can be a bit confusing regarding POI types; if you'd like to continue mapping (please do! :)) you may want to look at the OsmAnd app.

cheers,
Matthias

Hi,
our imagery in Vientiane happens to be fairly exact so there's probably no harm in aligning streets with it, but generally you shouldn't do that. It may well be that someone drew it according to a GPS track that's more precise than the image.

cheers,
Matthias

Please don't put a category like "Temple" in the name field. place_of_worship is fine; to mark it as a Buddhist temple, add religion=buddhist. The name is Vat Sisangvone and was mapped already so I just deleted your node :)

50473972 over 8 years ago

Is this really a hospital or only a pharma company? If there is no doctor, the building tags are sufficient. I changed it from building=apartments to building=commercial and fixed the phone number.

Sorry, I had to delete a whole bunch of buildings here, they are actually caravans.

I just fixed this by putting all the names on a single POI. The Lao name should go into "name" and "name:lo", the English one in "name:en". Maps.me makes it a bit difficult to do that though

49829075 over 8 years ago

Hi Toinoi,
a tip for your naming of places: it's a bit confusing to put English and Lao names in the same field; we have language-specific tags for that. You could set the "name" tag to the Lao name and additionally an English name in name:en. Copying the Lao name to name:lo is a good idea, too, although not strictly necessary.

cheers,
Matthias
