Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
3
Wikipedia's article on thangka painting is a community edited tertiary reference rather than a peer reviewed publication, hence the lower tier, though reasonable for the standard, uncontested facts of the form.
Notes
Wikipedia's article on thangka painting, consulted 2026-08-11. A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication; used here for the Dunhuang and eleventh century Tibetan dating, Araniko's documented career at Kublai Khan's court, and today's use of printed reproductions, standard reference facts.
