Editorial policy

Golden Festival Review aims to make its explanations clear, careful and specific. Our editorial choices favour useful context over sweeping claims about what festivals or their customs mean.

Accuracy and context

We check wording, names and descriptions against suitable sources before publication, and make clear when a custom varies between communities or occasions. We do not present an interpretation as universal fact. If a subject cannot be handled responsibly without evidence we do not have, we narrow it or leave it out.

Independence

Editorial decisions are guided by relevance to the publication and the needs of readers. A commercial relationship does not guarantee coverage or determine an editorial conclusion.

Corrections

If you spot an error, contact us with the article title, the passage and any helpful supporting context. We review correction requests and amend material when warranted, making the change clear where appropriate.

Paid material and illustrations

Sponsored articles and partner placements are clearly labelled so readers can tell them apart from editorial material. Some illustrations may be generated with AI; when relevant, that use is identified in the accompanying image information.
