Founders

Named as founders

Who the records name as founding it.

What this means

An attribution, usually recorded long afterwards and often contested — not a claim that it began fully formed, or that everyone who belongs to it accepts the attribution. An order, a church or a dynasty named as founder is listed by name rather than drawn: an arch is for a likeness.

Nearby

Places nearby

The nearest this collection holds, measured between recorded coordinates.

What this means

Computed from coordinates, not stated by any source. Nearness is geometry, not a connection: two sites a kilometre apart may never have shared a worshipper, a tradition or a century. Where either coordinate is recorded only to a district, the distance is rounded and says “about”.

History

Recorded events

What Society of Jesus’s own record names in its history. None of the statements carries a date.

What this means

Events Wikidata records in a subject’s history, and the day a festival is kept. Not a complete history, and the day a festival falls on is not when it began. Each date is the one on the statement itself; an event with none is named after the line. It does not imply that these are all the events in its history, or that Wikidata ranks the events by importance.

Recorded, with no date on the statement

Connections

How Society of Jesus connects

Grouped by the kind of relationship, because a successor is not a son and a shared symbol is not an influence.

Affiliation 77

What this means

Association with a tradition or school. Traditions branch, overlap and re-merge; this is not a clean single-origin tree.

Does not imply a fixed roster · that every account of the tradition knows this figure · personal belief at every point in a life · the practice of a population

Disagreements are kept, not resolved, and a count of sources is not a confidence score.
