A community-maintained tertiary reference on Enheduanna, directly examined. Its strength is a dated biography tied to a named historical dynasty and an honest account of the authorship debate rather than treating the attribution as settled; its limit is a Wikipedia community article rather than an Assyriological monograph, which is why it sits at reliability tier three.
