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 Apr 26, 2023. The linked authority identifier is Q15751028. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.
