Source-derived summary

This is a list of the 16 appointed members of the European Parliament for Finland in the 1994 to 1999 session, from 1 January 1995 until 9 October 1996. The first direct elections were held on 10 October 1996.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “List of members of the European Parliament for Finland, 1995–1996” as wikimedia list article. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1994, 1999, 1995, 1996—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where List, members and European can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as wikimedia list article. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 6, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6628007. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1994, 1999, 1995 and 1996.

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.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
