Source-derived summary

The Bârlădel is a left tributary of the river Siret in Romania. It flows into the Siret near Șerbeștii Vechi. The basin size of the 17 km (11 mi) long Bârladel is 339 km2 (131 sq mi). Before the regularization of the lower course of the Siret, it was a branch of the Siret, collecting several left tributaries of the Siret, including the Geru and the Suhu. Since the regularization works, the Geru discharges directly into the Siret, and the remaining course of the Bârladel collects the left Siret tributaries to the east of the Geru and the Suhu. The Bârlădel flows through the villages Independența, Vasile Alecsandri, Braniștea and Traian.

Editorial summary

“Bârlădel” enters the record as river in Romania. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Bârlădel, River and Romania can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewA strong orientation record where physical form, institutional use and historical geography need to be read together. The current 111-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Bârlădel, River and Romania.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Bârlădel” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Bârlădel, River and Romania provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q85749733. Authority coordinates are 45.415, 27.873. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

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.
