On second look, my reply is off-topic slightly as this is about the contact:* tags and review websites. I would never tag a review site like YELP or Tripadvisor. But in the case of campgrounds or guest_houses having a link to a fuller description can be very helpful: Here is an example of a caravan_site for the Lake Louise State Recreation Area in Alaska: website=http://dnr.alaska.gov/parks/aspunits/matsu/lklouisesra.htm Mappers cannot easily supply the wealth of information contained in that website simply through the use of tags. I added fee=yes, wheelchair=yes and a few other tags but there is no way one can capture the wealth of detail provided in the state-maintained website. Sorry for the confusion.
