Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 22, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q130329752. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1924, 1985, 1963 and 1984.

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.
