Wikipedia's community maintained article on Alex Sanders, the founder of Alexandrian Wicca, 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 for uncontroversial biographical facts such as dates and his role in founding the tradition. Its limit is that Sanders's own claimed initiatory lineage has long been disputed within Wiccan and scholarly circles, and that specific claim should be checked against dedicated scholarship on the history of Wicca rather than resting on this page alone.
