Begin with the source’s own compact description: “June 28” 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.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2660. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1600, 1098, 1360 and 1461.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. 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.
