This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “2012–13 Campeonato Uruguayo Primera División” as 109th season of the top-tier football league in Uruguay. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as 109th season of the top-tier football league in Uruguay. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4628876. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2012 and 2011.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. 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.
