Zacharias Frankel (reference article)

This is Wikipedia's article on Zacharias Frankel, the nineteenth century founder of Positive Historical Judaism and forerunner of Conservative Judaism, maintained through Wikipedia's ordinary community editing process rather than a fixed editorial board. Its strength is that Wikipedia articles on a documented historical religious figure of this kind are generally reliable for standard, uncontroversial biographical facts, dates, institutional positions and major publications, checked and corrected 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 facts about Frankel but not for a contested or specialist claim about his specific theological disagreements with Reform Judaism, which needs the dedicated scholarly history of nineteenth century Jewish religious movements this article itself draws from.
