Editorial policy and charter

Charter commitments

Put place, people, practical context, and family ritual ahead of products.

Verify weather, food-safety, travel, and local-detail guidance against current authoritative sources before publication.

Original fiction is allowed only when conspicuously labeled as invented; never present fictional families, lodging, dialogue, or events as customer stories, testimonials, or local reporting.

Keep store and owned-publication links visible, useful, relationship-disclosed, sponsored-qualified, and free of keyword stuffing or hidden placement.

Sources and review

Every article records an author, source list, publication date, update date, draft state, and human-review state. Volatile information is rechecked before publication. Primary and authoritative sources are preferred for safety, legal, scientific, and regulatory guidance.

What we never fabricate

We do not invent tests, credentials, customers, testimonials, lab findings, product availability, prices, endorsements, or local reporting. Original fiction may invent families, lodging, dialogue, and events only when the page prominently says they are fictional and never presents them as customer experience or reporting.

Draft handling

Drafts remain noindex, stay out of the sitemap and feed, and are marked as pending human review. Enabling site indexing does not override an article’s own draft state.
