The linked authority identifier is Q16900321. Authority coordinates are 43.415, -84.039. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
