Source-derived summary

The area of the peninsula is about 50 km2 (19 sq mi). The peninsula ends with Cape Rohuneeme.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Viimsi Peninsula” is peninsula in Estonia. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Viimsi, Peninsula and peninsula, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail. The current 33-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. For this dossier, Viimsi, Peninsula and peninsula is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “peninsula in Estonia” 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 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q11896719. VIAF identifies the subject as 315137333. Authority coordinates are 59.527, 24.833. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. 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

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
