Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Frands Faber” as field hockey player (1897-1933). Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewStrongest as a route into the people, institutions and dated events that shaped the subject’s public record. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1897, 1933, 1920—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1897-06-22. The account is most persuasive where Frands, Faber and field can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as field hockey player (1897-1933). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

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, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1813252. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1897, 1933 and 1920.

Critical limits

Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. 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.
