Jules Lotter
Swiss footballer
Jules Lotter (date of birth unknown) was a Swiss footballer who played for FC Basel as midfielder.

He played his domestic league debut for the club in the away game in the Gurzelen Stadion on 8 October 1916 as Basel played against Biel-Bienne. He scored his first goal for his club in the same game, but it could not help save the team from a 3–4 defeat.

Why this record matters
“Jules Lotter” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Jules, Lotter and Swiss provides the most credible route into that argument.
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 Jan 4, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q105046985. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1916, 2017 and 2018.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
