Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier3
Continuously edited tertiary reference with no named author of record, which is why it sits at tier 3 rather than 1 or 2. Used here only for stable, cross-checkable facts (dates, founders, textual and procedural detail), each checked against the article's own citations, not for contested or interpretive claims. NotesWikipedia's article on Gnosticism, consulted 2026-08-12. A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication, useful here for the 1945 Nag Hammadi discovery and for Mandaeism's survival as a living Gnostic tradition today.
