The linked authority identifier is Q5198188. VIAF identifies the subject as 124606046. The Library of Congress control number is no00000865. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

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.
