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—1986, 2009, 2010, 2012—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1986-08-17. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Péter, Szakály and association.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Péter Szakály” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Péter, Szakály and association provides the most credible route into that argument.

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 Feb 9, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q718034. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1986, 2009, 2010 and 2012.

Critical limits

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. 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.
