This is the Portuguese language Wikipedia's article on the Federacao Espirita Brasileira, a community edited tertiary encyclopedia entry. Its strength is that it gathers stable, checkable facts about the federation's founding and organizational history. Its limit is named on its own reliability-tier basis note: the article is itself one remove from the original report it names and cites, a 2006 Revista Epoca article whose own web address no longer resolves, so a claim resting on that specific reported detail is only as good as the article's own quotation of a source that can no longer be checked directly.

Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier3
Tier 3: a community edited tertiary reference, one remove from the original report it names and cites, a 2006 Revista Epoca article whose own original web address no longer resolves. Not the federation's own claim and not independently verified against the original press report, only against the reference article that quotes it. NotesWikipedia's community maintained Portuguese article on the Federacao Espirita Brasileira carries no named author or peer review process behind any given version and is continuously subject to further editing. Its strength here is that it names its own source for the figure cited from it: it states that the federation was founded in Rio de Janeiro on 2 January 1884 by Augusto Elias da Silva, that it has run a service for assistance to the needy since 1890, and that per data from 2006, cited to Martha Mendonca, "O novo espiritismo," Revista Epoca, edition 424, 3 July 2006, it was providing philanthropic social assistance to approximately a thousand families and maintaining a daycare centre for 800 children in Santo Antonio do Descoberto, Goias. The Epoca article's own original web address no longer resolves, so the citation here points to the Wikipedia article rather than to Epoca directly. Classed scholarly-estimate: a tertiary reference citing an independent press report rather than the federation's own claim.
