The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1937, 2009, 1964, 1968—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1937-12-21.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

Evidence profile

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 Apr 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5110030. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1937, 2009, 1964 and 1968.

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
