HIDDEN CORNERSWhat the guide must deliver
Each destination guide should answer a real visitor question and explain what gives the place its character. Shared tools and navigation can be consistent while the article’s angle, structure and writing remain specific to its subject. Length is not a substitute for useful information.
Evidence and uncertainty
Use official authorities for access rules, admission and restrictions; research institutions and scholarly work for scientific and historical claims; and reliable reporting for events. Commercial listings can describe a product, but they do not establish scientific facts or guarantee safety.
Match each material claim to what its source supports. Where sources differ, explain the difference. Distinguish a finding from an interpretation, an estimate from an official amount, and an old observation from current conditions.
Research and human review
AI tools may assist with research, drafting, coding and illustrations. Their output requires checking. Do not invent visits, quotations, interviews or eyewitness scenes. Firsthand claims require an actual contributor account.
The owner/editor is Sok Heng Oeun. The Hidden Corners Editorial Team may assist with image preparation and editorial checks. A “Reviewed by” credit and review date belong only on an article after that review has happened. Unreviewed previews are identified as drafts.
Photographs and illustrations
Confirm a photograph’s location, licence and attribution requirements. Keep captions short and the full rights record available. Label AI illustrations visibly and do not use them as evidence of a real place, person, access route or current condition.
Culture and visitor conduct
Describe communities as people with varied lives, not as scenery. Explain appropriate conduct without inventing universal customs. Optional clothing is not a compulsory costume. Respect photography preferences, access limits and sacred places.
Commercial independence
Affiliate links must be relevant and disclosed near the booking or purchase link. Do not invent a product review or claim that a commission is guaranteed. Advertising, if enabled, must be clearly separated from navigation and editorial content.
Corrections
Send the article link, the disputed passage and any supporting evidence to osokheng168.03@gmail.com. Material factual corrections should be recorded with a date and a short explanation. Read the corrections policy.
