Scope

We cover geography, remarkable locations, natural wonders, and the history behind the places that define our world. We avoid superficial framing and prioritize explainers that help readers understand the context, culture, and science of each location.

Sourcing Standards

  • — Primary and reputable secondary sources are prioritized.
  • — Dates, figures, and quotations are checked before publication.
  • — When guidance depends on ongoing proceedings or unverified claims, we label that uncertainty clearly.

Authorship and Attribution

Places content is presented by Simon Whistler. Structured authorship is implemented with a canonical author entity at /author/simon-whistler/, and article-level structured data references this canonical author profile.

Updates and Corrections

  • — Material errors are corrected as soon as verified.
  • — Substantive corrections may include clarification notes in-page.
  • — Time-sensitive stories are reviewed after publication for factual drift.

Independence and Conflicts

Editorial decisions are made independently. If any sponsorship or commercial relationship is relevant to a piece, it is disclosed clearly.
