Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Krčedin” is village in Inđija municipality, Serbia. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Krčedin, village and Inđija, not as a finished interpretation.

The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2002, 1948, 1953, 1961—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. For this dossier, Krčedin, village and Inđija is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “village in Inđija municipality, Serbia” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1092418. Authority coordinates are 45.140, 20.132. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2002, 1948, 1953 and 1961.

Critical limits

Architectural summaries often privilege surviving fabric and can understate demolished phases, contested use or displaced communities. 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.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
