Assessment
Reliability Tier3
Tier three: a wiki reference project that rewrites and reviews Wikipedia articles under its own editorial team rather than independently researching them, originated and initially funded by the Unification movement, matching this atlas's established convention for a New World Encyclopedia citation. Useful for general orientation on Koodiyattam's claimed antiquity and traditional history; a claim of any weight needs a source produced outside the Unification movement. NotesNew World Encyclopedia is a general online encyclopedia that adapts and expands Wikipedia content under its own editorial review; no individual byline or last revised date is shown on this entry, so both fields are left absent here rather than guessed, and the source sits at the same tier as a community edited tertiary reference: useful for orienting facts and for the scholarship it names, not a primary or peer reviewed account in its own right.
