User:Vang Vieng resident

I live in Vang Vieng and i have done since 1997. I speak fluent Lao and have opened many Australian funded development projects on behalf of the Australian government when the Australian ambassador to Lao is unavailable. I have seen first hand how Vang Vieng has changed due to the recent influx of backpackers, and how it has drastically affected the way of life for the locals. I get annoyed when people who have never even been to Vang Vieng think they know better then me on the current situation in the town and surrounds now as a result of inconsiderate tourists showing no respect for the town, the locals and their lifestyle.

Mattun. I think understand what you are trying to do as a wikipedia 'policeman'. But you have no knowledge of the place, so how can you continually delete my factual edits? I know more about Vang Vieng than you do. Have you ever been to Vang Vieng, or to Laos, or even to SE Asia? I doubt it. What I write on the Vang Vieng page is 100% true and factual, and can be backed up from many sources.

I thought the purpose of Wikipedia is to provide accurate, up to date information.
