Trust & Credibility
How FestJourney verifies festival dates — and what we do when we cannot.
Our Editorial Standards
Source-Driven Content
At FestJourney, Event pages are built from primary sources — organisers, host town halls and official regional tourism authorities — with the source URL and check date recorded for each individual claim rather than a single page-level timestamp.
Verification Process
Before publication, pages are reviewed for factual support, route logic, and practical constraints. High-impact pages are revalidated on a recurring schedule.
Practical Context
We compare organiser, transport-operator, municipal, and destination sources to improve recommendations around timing, transport, area differences, and practical feasibility.
Transparency
We keep editorial criteria explicit, separate editorial decisions from commercial influence, and correct verified issues quickly.
Editorial Ownership
Disclosed Editorial Pen Name
Felix Hartmann is the public byline used for final review and correction decisions; the site does not claim it is the editor’s legal name.
Source Verification
Official event, municipal, tourism, and operator sources support time-sensitive claims.
Planning Review
Routes, stay zones, ticket phases, budgets, and seasonal constraints are checked for internal consistency.
Release Quality Assurance
Automated link, type, accessibility, SEO, dependency, and production-build checks run before release.
Quality Assurance
Claim Verification
Factual claims are checked against primary or direct sources before publication.
Freshness Reviews
Key pages are revisited on a schedule and updated when assumptions change.
Editorial Traceability
We keep change history and ownership so updates are accountable and auditable.
Feedback Triage
User-reported issues are triaged quickly and corrected when validated.
