Editorial summary

“Kureh Chi” enters the record as village in Iran. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Kureh, village and Iran can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewA valuable geographic starting point for tracing changing names, boundaries, uses and administrative responsibility. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2006, 2011, 2016—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Kureh, village and Iran.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Kureh Chi” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Kureh, village and Iran provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5840479. Authority coordinates are 33.490, 49.627. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2006, 2011 and 2016.

Critical limits

A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. 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.
