Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 21, 2026.

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources.

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
