The linked authority identifier is Q5197212. Authority coordinates are 51.408, -3.288. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

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