The linked authority identifier is Q1651591. VIAF identifies the subject as 136268392. The Library of Congress control number is n2008028414.

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. 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.
