Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1963, 1991, 1992, 1993—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1963-06-25. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Dolf, Jansen and Dutch providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 17, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q2416851. VIAF identifies the subject as 172846833. The Library of Congress control number is n2002042488. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. 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.
