The crowd sourced encyclopedia's article on the cycle, read directly for this entry. Its strength is a well referenced production and structural record: composition dates, premiere, the four constituent operas and a plot summary comparing Wagner's Wotan and Brunnhilde against their Norse mythological sources. Its limit is that it is not independently peer reviewed, so it is cited here for corroborated factual and structural detail alongside two more specialised sources.
