Why this record matters
“Sulawesi blue flycatcher” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Sulawesi, blue and flycatcher provides the most credible route into that argument.
The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 5, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q3315409. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1896, 2020 and 1920.
Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. 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.
