Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Dante Di Maso” as italian association football player (1924-2005). Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA useful biographical orientation record, particularly for establishing names, roles and a first chronology. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1924, 2005, 2009—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1924-07-23. The account is most persuasive where Dante, Maso and Italian can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as italian association football player (1924-2005). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 31, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q3702355. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1924, 2005 and 2009.

Critical limits

Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. 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

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