Wikipedia's community maintained article on the 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 and prominent members, generally reflects settled consensus. Its limit is that a specialist or contested claim about the Society's specific investigations should be checked against dedicated history of psychical research scholarship rather than resting on this page alone.
