Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Jan Hertl” as czech footballer (1929-1996). Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA useful biographical orientation record, particularly for establishing names, roles and a first chronology. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1929, 1996, 1952, 1958—that can be checked directly. The authority record carries competing date values—1929-01-23, 1929-06-23—which should remain separate until their references and qualifiers are resolved. The account is most persuasive where Hertl, Czech and footballer can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as czech footballer (1929-1996). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 15, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q2004638. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1929, 1996, 1952 and 1958.

Critical limits

Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. 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

Read biographical claims against dates, named institutions and the cited references. Distinguish a subject’s later reputation from evidence produced during their lifetime.
