Source policy
Source policy
The project prioritizes official, heritage, academic, and clearly-scoped practical sources rather than treating every link as equal evidence.
Priority order
The strongest sources are preferred first
Official institutional sites are preferred for current access, schedules, and visitor-facing guidance.
Heritage authorities such as UNESCO are preferred for protected-site framing and heritage status.
Academic or institutional scholarship is preferred for deeper historical, ritual, or archaeological context.
Entity references such as Wikipedia or Wikidata are used as identity support, not as the only evidence layer.
Citation roles
Source roles are explicit in the content model
Citations can be marked as heritage authority, official site, academic source, entity reference, media source, visit-practical source, first-hand visit report, or local tradition source.
Those roles are used to rank bottom-of-page links, group the reading layer, and strengthen structured data.
A source can also carry a supports list so the claim it is backing is more legible.
Exclusions
Some sources are intentionally not treated as strong support
Low-context travel content is not used as sole support for sacred meaning or historical claims.
Image repositories do not substitute for heritage or historical sources.
User enthusiasm is not treated as evidence when it is not tied to either a living tradition source or a documented authority.

These routes are designed to be read together so the trust model is explicit rather than implied.
