The linked authority identifier is Q8962226. VIAF identifies the subject as 100257561. The Library of Congress control number is n80060796. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. 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.
