Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “María de Valdés”, the useful work is to connect “spanish swimmer” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
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 Sep 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q106917340. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1998, 1500, 2020 and 2022.
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.
