Reliability Tier3
Reliability tier 3: a continuously community-edited tertiary reference with no formal peer review process, suitable for citable, checkable factual claims but not treated as authoritative on genuinely contested points. NotesWikipedia's article on inedia, consulted 2026-08-12. A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication, useful here for its dedicated section on Hira Ratan Manek, naming his 1995 claim and the 2011 documentary Eat the Sun that filmed him eating, evidence directly contradicting the claim rather than a source arguing either side.
