Source-derived summary

Cristian Radu Silvășan (born 25 February 1982) is a Romanian former football player. He played as striker, but he could also be used as a right midfielder.

Career

At the beginning of his career, Silvășan swapped twice between Bucharest and Craiova (Fulgerul Bragadiru – Electroputere Craiova – Rocar București – Universitatea Craiova), before moving to FCU Politehnica Timişoara. He showed a lot of promise in the first two seasons at Poli, despite scoring only 13 goals in 56 matches. However, he did not really rise up to the expectations of the public, thus, he ended up spending more time on the bench than on the field. In the winter of 2007 he was released from the club and joined Politehnica Iaşi. In 2007 Silvășan was transferred to U Cluj, in August 2008 moved to Gloria Bistrita.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “romanian footballer” 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

Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 13, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q4683610. The first chronological checks are 1982, 2007 and 2008.

Critical limits

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Read biographical claims against dates, named institutions and the cited references. Distinguish a subject’s later reputation from evidence produced during their lifetime.
