Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Pedro Barateiro”, the useful work is to connect “artist” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
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 Jun 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q18922710. VIAF identifies the subject as 167750109. The Library of Congress control number is n2011008238. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1979, 2008, 2007 and 2012.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
