Wikipedia's article on Buddhism in Central Asia, maintained through ordinary community editing rather than a fixed editorial board. Reliable for standard, well established facts, the Kushan Empire's role in Silk Road transmission, Kanishka's patronage, the monastic centres at Bamiyan and elsewhere, checked by many editors over time; not the right source for a contested claim about Kushan chronology itself, which the article names as unsettled rather than resolving.

Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier3
Community-edited reference page, tier 3. Used only for standard, checkable facts about the Kushan Empire's role in transmitting Buddhism into Central Asia; Kanishka's own regnal chronology is a separate, genuinely disputed numismatic and epigraphic question the article itself flags rather than resolves, and this atlas's own start-year atom on the Central Asia hop is marked debated for exactly that reason. NotesUsed for the Kushan Empire's transmission of Buddhism along the Silk Road into Central Asia and Kanishka's patronage.
