Editorial Standards

Standards for accuracy, respect, sourcing and updates.

The site aims to be useful without turning living communities into checklists.

Core standards

  • Context: Guidance identifies the setting and avoids universal claims.
  • Respect: People are described as individuals and communities, not curiosities.
  • Current information: Readers are directed to official and local sources for laws, access and venue rules.
  • Consent and privacy: Photography, touch and personal stories require special care.
  • Accessibility: Disability etiquette is based on asking the individual, not guessing.
  • Commercial independence: No product placement is disguised as cultural guidance.
