That would be great, very helpful. Would this be a problematic value exists
check, in terms of creating a lag in responsiveness?

I am also not clear on the fact that one of the Authority Control elements
is populating in the top Statements section vs. the lower Identifiers
section --

i.e., *ISNI* for https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1160089

I wanted to update Father Berrigan's Authority Control and am having a
really difficult time knowing what the best practices are -- if best
practices exist -- for the reference area of Wikidata Identifiers. I would
pull from the bottom "History" section here on VIAF --
https://viaf.org/viaf/66488489/#Berrigan,_Daniel. -- as the reference for
these.

It's probably me thinking of references as they exist on Wikipedia vs. how
they exist on Wikidata. But I've seen references on Wikidata presented in
different ways, so wasn't sure.
