A Wikipedia entry on John Knox, the Scottish reformer whose leadership founded the Presbyterian tradition, compiled and revised by volunteer editors.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability TierReliability 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. NotesCrowd-sourced tertiary reference, consulted directly, 2026-08-11. Its own infobox places Knox's birth as "c. 1514" while its text notes he was "born sometime between 1505 and 1515"; his death, 24 November 1572 in Edinburgh, is fixed. Used here for both years, with the birth year carried as an estimate rather than a settled date, matching the atlas's own pre-existing "c. 1514 to 1572" lifespan text on his entity. 1 Citation
