Nalanda Mahavihara (Wikipedia)

This is Wikipedia's article on Nalanda Mahavihara, the ancient Buddhist monastic university in Bihar, India, maintained through Wikipedia's ordinary community editing process rather than a fixed editorial board. Its strength is that Wikipedia articles on a well studied ancient institution are generally reliable for standard, uncontroversial facts drawn from established archaeological and historical scholarship, founding period, notable teachers and the site's excavation history, checked by many editors over time. Its limit is structural rather than specific to this article, it is a perpetually community edited reference page rather than a peer reviewed publication, so it is the right source for standard biographical and institutional facts about Nalanda but not for a contested or specialist claim about its curriculum or destruction, which needs the archaeological and historical scholarship this article itself draws from.
