Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Błotnowola”, the useful work is to connect “village in Świętokrzyskie, Poland” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2274940. Authority coordinates are 50.333, 20.933. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
