The linked authority identifier is Q1955102. Authority coordinates are 56.550, 27.883. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. 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.
