Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Lykovrysi”, the useful work is to connect “northern suburb of Athens, Greece” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2532150. Authority coordinates are 38.067, 23.783. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

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