Source-derived summary

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Jacques Thubé” as sailor (1883-1969). Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1882, 1969, 1912—that can be checked directly. The authority record carries competing date values—1882-06-22, 1883-06-20—which should remain separate until their references and qualifiers are resolved. The account is most persuasive where Jacques, Thubé and sailor can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as sailor (1883-1969). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 15, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q1804662. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 1 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1882, 1969 and 1912.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. 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.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
