The linked authority identifier is Q13912475. Authority coordinates are 29.533, -114.500. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. 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.
