Wikipedia's articles on Kinpusen-ji, on Mount Yoshino in Nara Prefecture, and Ominesan-ji, at Sanjogatake peak on Mount Omine, Shugendo's two most important temples, both traditionally founded by En no Gyoja at the end of the seventh century, both enshrining Zao Gongen, both inscribed in 2004 as part of the UNESCO Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range, and Ominesan-ji's nyonin kekkai rule excluding women from the sacred peak since the early Heian period, continuously revised, community edited tertiary encyclopedia entries with no named author, hence the lower tier, though useful for these documented site names, founding tradition and UNESCO status.
