The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5431222. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1996, 2011, 2008 and 2012.
