This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Ivo Ratej” as yugoslav and Slovenian ice hockey player. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as yugoslav and Slovenian ice hockey player. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 24, 2023. The linked authority identifier is Q18507185. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1941, 1964, 1968 and 1972.
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.
