Editorial summary

Editorial reviewA strong orientation record where physical form, institutional use and historical geography need to be read together. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2010, 2002, 2008, 2013—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Gostomlya, human and settlement.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“2nd Gostomlya” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Gostomlya, human and settlement provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q18764393. Authority coordinates are 51.436, 35.863. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2010, 2002, 2008 and 2013.

Critical limits

Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. 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.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
