Source-derived summary

René Rey (19 September 1928 – February 2011) was a Swiss alpine skier. He competed in the men's slalom at the 1956 Winter Olympics.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “René Rey” as swiss alpine skier. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around René, Swiss and alpine.

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1928, 2011, 1956—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1928-09-19. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with René, Swiss and alpine providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “René Rey”, the useful work is to connect “swiss alpine skier” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

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 Oct 23, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q3426816. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1928, 2011 and 1956.

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.
