Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Kosta Manev” as macedonian association football player. 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—1993, 2018, 2019, 2020—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1993-04-07. The account is most persuasive where Kosta, Manev and Macedonian can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

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

Evidence profile

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 31, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q18633354. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1993, 2018, 2019 and 2020.

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.
