1 May 1949
estimated · probable · preferred
Reasoning
Passage 540176 gives the day/month the Milwaukee series was to begin (and confirms he kept the commitment) but carries no year of its own; combined with the year stated in passage 538537 for the same Milwaukee series, this gives an estimated 1949-05-01. Capped at probable because it synthesises two separate witnesses rather than resting on one that states the full date.

stated · probable
Source
derived from the event's own title: "Neville's 1949 Milwaukee lecture series"
Reasoning
The event held NO date claim of any kind; its own title states 1949 (year precision, parsed as "year only"). ⚠ A title in this corpus is a DERIVED artefact — an earlier pass wrote it from the passage text — so this claim is title-derived and is marked as such rather than cited as a source document; the underlying text remains the real evidence and would supersede it. Confidence `probable`, never `certain`, for that reason. Precision is never inflated beyond the title's own wording. CALIBRATION (run v1.1/l1.4/titledate, against the 489 events that already hold an independent preferred date): day 96.1%, month 94.1% agreement. Titles naming a REFERENCE event rather than the event itself ("before", "after", "during the week of", "per ... lecture") are refused outright and never reach this write — reading an anchor as the date is the same laundering phase3b committed when it wrote telling dates onto events.

stated
Reasoning
Neville directly states the year of the Milwaukee series in his own words; this is a stated claim from the passage itself and outranks the earlier title-derived probable claim.
