Editorial policy

This policy explains how Sydney.tips decides what to publish and how practical claims are kept useful, proportionate and traceable.

Topic selection

Topics are chosen for real planning value: common visitor decisions, confusing journeys, changing access conditions and gaps between broad inspiration and practical action. Search popularity may reveal a need, but it does not replace editorial judgement.

Research and review

Primary and authoritative sources are preferred. Pages distinguish stable context from details that should be checked on the day. A facts-checked date changes only after the practical claims have been reviewed; a modified date changes only after a meaningful content edit.

Corrections and commercial separation

Credible corrections are assessed against current evidence and fixed without hiding the nature of the change. Affiliate availability does not decide whether a place is included, excluded or recommended. Commercial modules are labelled and kept separate from editorial conclusions.
