Source-derived summary

Václav Jón (11 March 1905 – 28 December 1966) was a Czech cross-country skier. He competed in the men's 18 kilometre event at the 1924 Winter Olympics.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Václav Jón” is czechoslovak cross-country skier. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Václav, Czechoslovak and cross-country, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1905, 1966, 1924—that can be checked directly. The authority record carries competing date values—1903-01-01, 1905-03-11—which should remain separate until their references and qualifiers are resolved. For this dossier, Václav, Czechoslovak and cross-country is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “czechoslovak cross-country skier” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 28, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q5890171. VIAF identifies the subject as 130656949. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1905, 1966 and 1924.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. 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
