Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “19th Screen Awards”, the useful work is to connect “indian film awards ceremony in 2013” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 30, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q108113805. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2012 and 2013.

Critical limits

Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. 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.
