Why this record matters

The linked authority identifier is Q4683091. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1990 and 2019.

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
