Reliability Tier3
Reliability tier 3: a Wikipedia entry, written and revised by unnamed volunteer editors, suited to an uncontested, easily checked point about an ancient medical text rather than a disputed claim. NotesWikipedia's article on the Sushruta Samhita, consulted 2026-08-11. A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication; used here only for the scholarly dating debate over the text's composition and the debated attribution of its authorship, matters the article itself presents as unsettled among historians rather than as its own claim.
