Travel information is useful when readers can distinguish what a source establishes, what is a planning suggestion and what still needs current confirmation. This policy describes the editorial approach used for MyVaranasi's researched guides and the standards applied when correcting or extending them. It does not represent an official endorsement by a temple, government department, hotel or transport provider.
Research and the limits of a source
Use responsible first-party or government references for a venue's identity, published rules and operational information where available. Historical records, religious traditions and modern visitor arrangements answer different questions. A sacred story should be identified as tradition, and a project announcement should not be treated as proof that every proposed facility is currently operating.
When sources differ on an important detail, describe the difference or omit an unsupported exact claim. Do not turn an old charge, an approximate map distance or a photograph into a current guarantee. Research notes and outstanding verification questions are retained in the project rather than displayed as unfinished visitor instructions.
Original planning and honest presentation
Organise each article around its own visitor question. Related pages may mention the same landmark while serving different purposes; copying the same general article into several routes is not a useful substitute for a focused guide. Internal text comparisons support editorial review but are not a certificate of originality across the internet.
Do not invent a personal visit, professional biography, testimonial or service inspection. Explain an editorial estimate as an estimate. Use descriptive photograph credits and distinguish real documentary assets from illustrative material. A useful page should state its practical limits without overwhelming the reader with irrelevant publishing details.
Review dates and correction requests
A visible review date records a documented review and should not be refreshed solely to make unchanged content appear newer. Sitemap modification dates and article review dates have related but different purposes. Changes to body information, access guidance or important references should have a corresponding record.
An ordinary correction request is most useful when it includes the page address, disputed wording and a reliable reference. Use the contact page for that purpose. Do not send unnecessary private documents. Time-sensitive operating instructions and emergency questions belong with the responsible venue or authority.
BEFORE YOU GO
Frequently asked questions
Does every recommendation claim a personal inspection?
No. Desk research and practical editorial suggestions must not be represented as first-hand inspection. A page should make a specific inspection claim only when there is genuine supporting evidence, not because that wording appears persuasive.
What happens when published hours conflict?
The guide should identify the uncertainty or avoid certifying one exact current window. The visitor should confirm with the responsible venue before relying on the time for travel. An indexed listing alone does not establish current admission.
Are internal duplication checks an external plagiarism certificate?
No. They compare the site's own articles and help identify repeated or closely overlapping passages. They do not inspect the entire internet or guarantee a result from an external originality or AI-detection service.
