Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as rural gmina in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 29, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q389125. Authority coordinates are 49.988, 19.674. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
