Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Verkhnie Vysotske”, the useful work is to connect “village in Turka Raion, Lviv Oblast, Ukraine” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2078717. VIAF identifies the subject as 152667417. The Library of Congress control number is n2007059615. Authority coordinates are 48.952, 23.071. 3 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2020.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. 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.
