Editorial Policy
Our guides use AI-assisted drafting. This policy explains the limits of our coverage and the standards for corrections.
Research and Review
We cannot substantiate a human review of every published guide. Article-level citations and correction notes provide evidence of specific checks.
- 1
Research
Use official climate records for numerical weather claims and venue websites for dress rules.
- 2
Attribution
Name the weather station and reference period. Do not write invented firsthand experiences.
- 3
Corrections
Correct identified errors and record substantive factual changes in the article.
Sources
Sources should be linked beside the claims they support. A general methodology statement does not establish that an individual article was verified.
Primary sources
National weather services and official venue rules
Secondary sources
Attributed reporting that provides useful local context
Unverified sources
Forum anecdotes and AI-generated statements are not evidence for numerical climate claims
Updates
There is no guaranteed seasonal review schedule. An updated date records a content edit, not a promise that every fact was rechecked.
| Volatility Tier | Review Frequency | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Weather forecasts and venue rules | Check before travel | Use the current official forecast and venue website |
| Climate normals | Check the cited reference period | Long-term averages are not trip forecasts |
| Article corrections | When an issue is addressed | See the correction note for its scope |
Corrections & Feedback
Send the article URL, disputed claim, and supporting source to our contact email. Substantive factual corrections receive a note and an updated date.
AI Disclosure
AI tools are used to draft and revise guides. We do not claim that every article has been reviewed by a human or based on a personal visit. What to Pack Editorial is the publication byline; the earlier Clara Bennett persona was fictional.
Affiliate Disclosure
We may earn a commission when you purchase or book through affiliate links, at no extra cost to you. Commercial recommendations carry a nearby disclosure. Packing advice is not a claim that we personally tested a product.
