Source-derived summary

Mark Tylor is a former Australian rules footballer who played in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL) for both the Port Adelaide Football Club and Glenelg Football Club. He played in the 1994 Port Adelaide premiership team and led the club's goal-kicking on three occasions, as well as winning the Ken Farmer Medal in two of those years.

Tylor broke his hand late in the 1992 season, leaving him stranded on 97 goals for the season (his highest season tally) and missing out on the 1992 SANFL Grand Final. Despite missing the last few games of the season, Tylor won the Ken Farmer Medal. Tylor won the Ken Farmer Medal again in 1993, kicking 90 goals.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Mark Tylor” as australian Australian-rules footballer. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA productive starting point for separating a subject’s documented career from later reputation and commemoration. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1994, 1992, 1993—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Mark, Tylor and Australian can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as australian Australian-rules footballer. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 16, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q17306237. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1994, 1992 and 1993.

Critical limits

Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. 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

Read biographical claims against dates, named institutions and the cited references. Distinguish a subject’s later reputation from evidence produced during their lifetime.
