Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Dovhomostyska”, the useful work is to connect “village in Yavoriv Raion, Lviv Oblast, Ukraine” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
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 Feb 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4164642. Authority coordinates are 49.773, 23.424. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2001, 1437, 1589 and 2020.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. 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.
