Dear Ameliawelikala,
while this edit looks genuine to me (i.e. not a Google Maps copy), you're still putting that bogus operator tag in there. Stop it, please. It takes about half a minute to remove all operator tags from everything you've ever edited, but I'd rather you wouldn't treat this as a graffiti tagging contest.

cheers,
Matthias

Hi,
this bookshop/library is mapped already a fw meters north. Do you know if it occupies both houses or which one would be more exact if we'd have to merge them?

Hi,
are you sure the ambassador's residence moved?

I think he's copying from en masse from Google Maps. Unfortunately I haven't heard back from the Data Working Group yet but I don't think his edits are here to stay anyway.

Hi,
good start in OSM thanks for your additions! :)
Two notes though: please make sure to actually connect ways to each other, otherwise routing won't work. I just fixed it for the two service ways near the ministry of finance. Also, I deleted your new motorways on top of 23 Singha Road and some others. As long as bicycles and pedestrians are allowed there, it's not a motorway. No worries, mistakes happen :)

cheers,
Matthias

Hi, thanks for resolving that note! You seem to be a friend of Niroshani's? You do the same thing of entering yourself as "operator" for places. Unless you're the one in charge of a place, which at least for Deutsche bank I'm positive you're not, please don't. It's called "tagging" but it doesn't work quite the same as leaving your graffiti signature on city walls.
Also, I'm not sure how you discover the places you map but as some like "KMC YOUTH - EVERLIFE" are conspicuously similar in spelling and capitalization to Google Maps: please don't copy from any other map! If you do, sooner or later someone will probably just wipe everything you did off the map to be safe from copyright claims, including stuff you may have done yourself.
By the way, you can add several POIs without saving in-between them, that makes it much easier to review what has happened.

cheers,
Matthias

Hi,
where are you getting all those POIs from, by the way? As you're using iD, I don't suppose you surveyed those areas, right? They're suspiciously similar to what is visible on Google Maps...

cheers,
Matthias

Hi, thanks for your additions! Please remember though to name-tag things only with their *name*. "Plenty of camping" for instance could go in a description if you feel it needs to be added, but it's not a name. If you don't know the name or can't spell it in its script, you can just leave it blank and someone else will probably fill it in.

Hi,
please note that the "lanes" tag is supposed to hold the number of lanes a way has, not the name, even if the name should be something with "lane" in it.

Hi,
you're not actually operating any of those places, are you? Don't put your name in "operator" then, please.

cheers,
Matthias

Hi, thanks for your additions! I just noticed a lot of your POIs have your name as "operator" - that tag is meant for the person or company in charge of running it though. See here: operator=*

Please don't keep mapping your personal POIs

Hi,
do you actually have a Russian name as the principal name of a Korean restaurant in Laos?! Looks strange, and most people won't be able to read it. Also, phone numbers are supposed to be in international format with country prefix so you could leave the +856 in.

cheers,
Matthias

Hi,
isn't "Asia Blue Scuba" a dive shop?

70180797 over 6 years ago

Hi, thanks for your additions! Please remember though to name-tag things only with their *name*. "Amazing food & so cheap" could go in a description if you feel it needs to be added, but it's not a name. If you don't know the name or can't spell it in its script, you can just leave it blank and someone else will probably fill it in.

cheers,

Hi, thanks for your additions! Please remember though to name-tag things only with their *name*. If you don't know it or can't spell the Lao, that's not a problem, you can leave it blank and someone else will probably fill it in.

No problem :) I just wondered because they'd been downtown for years and sometimes people make mappings that are kilometers off the real spot - and I'm not in Vientiane any more. If you found it there, perfect.

Hi, thanks for your additions! Please remember that OSM is not a place to @-tag your "i was here" places though. Also, check that your places are actually what is found there -- don't tag a tourism information if there isn't an information office or signboard there; don't tag a shop if there's no shop.

Hups, sieht ganz so aus ;) Danke fürs aufpassen, wird gleich gefixt!

Sure about the POI type? It's called "Ban Lue Handicrafts" but is not craft=handicraft but amenity=cafe?
