Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Salatiga District”, the useful work is to connect “district in Sambas Regency, West Kalimantan Province, Indonesia” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q12511619. Authority coordinates are 1.117, 109.025. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2007.

Critical limits

Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. 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

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
