Wikipedia's article on Daniel Dunglas Home, the nineteenth century Spiritualist medium, is a community edited reference page rather than a peer reviewed publication. It is reliable for standard biographical facts such as dates and the documented public sittings he conducted, and less reliable for adjudicating the contested historical debate over whether his phenomena were genuine, which remains disputed between Spiritualist and skeptical historical accounts. Use it for basic biography; the authenticity question itself needs a dedicated historical study.
