Assessment
Reliability Tier3
Wikipedia's article on vegetarianism, the lower tier reflecting that it is a crowd sourced, not independently peer reviewed encyclopedia entry, reliable for a broad overview across cultures and traditions and less reliable for any one tradition's specific religious rationale, which a dedicated source on that tradition would need to settle. NotesWikipedia's article on vegetarianism, consulted 2026-08-12. A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication; used here for the pre-nineteenth-century English usage of "Pythagorean" for a meat-free diet and for Palitana's 2014 meat sale ban, standard reference facts distinct from the atlas's existing Encyclopedia of Religion and Oxford Dictionary of World Religions citations.
