Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Costel Petrariu” as romanian bobsledder. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1958, 1984, 1988, 1992—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1958-07-16. The account is most persuasive where Costel, Petrariu and Romanian can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as romanian bobsledder. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 25, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q52008183. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1958, 1984, 1988 and 1992.

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.
