Why this record matters

The linked authority identifier is Q111318640. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1983 and 1984.

The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
