Primary authorities first
Land status, claims, closures, permits, method restrictions, water rules, and safety notices must link to the responsible federal, state, tribal, or local authority. A general blog or search result is not enough.
Editorial standards
GoldPanMap publishes only information whose source, scope, date, and limits can be shown. The existing draft library remains withdrawn until it meets these standards.
Exact place and date
A page must state the location, authority, scope, and review date it covers. Readers must be told to recheck time-sensitive conditions before acting.
No duplicate factory pages
Every published guide must answer a distinct reader need. Keyword-swapped or duplicated variants, unrelated home-repair language, and generic filler are prohibited.
Claim-level support
Legal, access, safety, cost, yield, geology, and equipment claims require direct support. Unsupported figures or certainty are removed.
Qualified review where needed
Legal or regulatory interpretations require an appropriately qualified reviewer. Safety-critical material requires relevant expert review or direct deference to the controlling authority.
Corrections and withdrawal
Disputed or stale content is withdrawn from indexing while it is checked. Report problems to team@goldpanmap.com.
