Wikipedia's community maintained article on the American Society for Psychical Research carries no named author or peer review process behind any given version of the page, and is continuously subject to further editing. Its strength is that it is freely and immediately checkable and, for uncontroversial facts about the Society's founding, prominent members and institutional history, generally reflects settled consensus. Its limit is that a specialist or contested claim about a specific investigation the Society conducted should be checked against dedicated scholarship rather than resting on this page alone.
