Wikipedia's article on the Church of Denmark, cited here for its account of the 1536 Reformation founding under Christian III, the eleven-diocese structure, the absence of a central synod or archbishop, and the current membership share of Denmark's population.

Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
2
Tier 2: a well-referenced tertiary encyclopedia account of settled institutional history (the 1536 founding, the diocesan structure, the constitutional text, current membership share), none of it a live scholarly dispute, cited here because the entity's three existing sources cover the tax mechanism and the finance figures but not the church's founding, structure or membership trend.
