Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
3
Wikipedia's article on the icon in Eastern Christian tradition is a community edited tertiary reference rather than a peer reviewed publication, hence the lower tier, though reasonable for the standard, uncontested facts of the form.
Notes
Wikipedia's article on the icon, consulted 2026-08-11. A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication; used here for the named regional schools of icon painting, among them Novgorod, the Stroganov school and Cretan painting, and for the article's own statement that Orthodox convention leaves very little room for individual artistic license, standard reference facts.
