Source-derived summary

Ionel Petrov (born 7 October 1934) is a Romanian rower. He competed at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome with the men's coxless four where they were eliminated in the round one repêchage.

Editorial summary

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

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1934, 1960—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1934-10-07. The account is most persuasive where Ionel, Petrov 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 rower. 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 Jun 29, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q50095699. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1934 and 1960.

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.
