Reliability Tier3
Reliability tier 3: a Wikipedia entry, written and revised by unnamed volunteer editors, suited to an uncontested, easily checked biographical point rather than a disputed claim. NotesWikipedia's article on the Fox sisters, consulted 2026-08-12. A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication, useful here for the dated March 1848 Hydesville events and the sisters' own later 1888 confession.
