Why this record matters
“Stanley F. Teele” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Stanley, Teele and Dean provides the most credible route into that argument.
Chronology, provenance and viewpoint should be read together before a broad social or political interpretation is accepted. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 16, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q7599588. VIAF identifies the subject as 161344864. The Library of Congress control number is no2004025362. 4 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 1 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1906, 1967, 1923 and 1924.
Later summaries often reconcile disputed chronology or motive more neatly than the contemporary record permits. 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.
