Top blockers/cautions
- publish-candidate label requires final manual proof pass: 14 article(s)
- add/check official sources: 1 article(s)
Operating rules before affiliate signup
- Keep all article statuses at
researchedunless a final manual verification pass is done for the exact page submitted to an affiliate program. - Treat search result titles and competitor pages as demand evidence only; do not use them as factual support.
- Use official tourism, transit, park, venue, climate, and safety sources for factual claims wherever possible.
- Do not insert live affiliate links, tracking IDs, or price/savings claims before partner approval.
- Source URL blockers are separated from ordinary final-check language: reachable official sources can still require same-week checks before public use.
- Recheck any source note that mentions HTTP 403, timeout, SSL error, schedule volatility, pet-policy variation, or venue-specific rules before public launch.
