Wikipedia's article on Amadou Bamba, the founder of the Mouride Sufi order in Senegal, is a community edited reference page rather than a peer reviewed publication. It is reliable for standard biographical facts such as his life, exile by French colonial authorities and the founding of the order, and less reliable for evaluating specific miracle accounts and devotional traditions that have grown around him within Mouride practice. Use it for basic biography; a claim about a specific devotional tradition or miracle account needs a dedicated scholarly source on Mouridism.

Reliability Tier3
Wikipedia's article on Amadou Bamba, founder of the Mouride Sufi order, the lower tier reflecting that it is a crowd sourced, not independently peer reviewed encyclopedia entry, reliable for standard biography and his exile by French colonial authorities, less reliable for evaluating specific miracle accounts grown up around him within Mouride devotional practice. NotesWikipedia's article on Amadou Bamba. A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication; use for standard, uncontroversial facts about Amadou Bamba (biographical detail, dates, common definitions), not as the source for a contested or specialist scholarly claim.
