Wikipedia's article on Johann Valentin Andreae, the Lutheran theologian associated with the early Rosicrucian manifestos, is a community edited reference page rather than a peer reviewed publication. It is reliable for standard biographical facts such as his clerical career and disputed authorship claims, and less reliable for settling the genuinely unresolved scholarly question of his exact role in writing the Rosicrucian texts. Use it for basic biography; the authorship question itself needs a dedicated scholarly study of the Rosicrucian manifestos.

Reliability Tier3
Wikipedia's article on Johann Valentin Andreae is a community edited reference page rather than a peer reviewed publication, hence the lower tier, though reliable for standard biographical facts such as his clerical career and the disputed authorship claims it plainly names as disputed. NotesWikipedia's article on Johann Valentin Andreae. A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication; use for standard, uncontroversial facts about Johann Valentin Andreae (biographical detail, dates, common definitions), not as the source for a contested or specialist scholarly claim.
