The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1931, 2018, 1952—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1931-05-04.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Herbert Grohs”, the useful work is to connect “austrian association football player (1931-2018)” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q26972440. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1931, 2018 and 1952.

Critical limits

Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. 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.
