Begin with the source’s own compact description: “June 11” is day of the year. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through June and year, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “day of the year” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2617. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1600, 1011, 1042 and 1118.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
