Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “La Pobla de Benifassà” as municipality of Spain. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current 66-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Pobla, Benifassà and municipality can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as municipality of Spain. 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 Sep 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q744088. VIAF identifies the subject as 233253191. The Library of Congress control number is nb2012006419. Authority coordinates are 40.656, 0.157. 4 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

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