Reliability Tier3
Wikipedia's article on the forger and bomber Mark Hofmann, the lower tier reflecting a crowd sourced, continuously edited encyclopedia entry rather than a peer reviewed or institutional source. It is useful here for a well referenced factual summary of his forgeries and their exposure, and is cited for corroborated factual detail rather than for interpretation. NotesWikipedia's article on the forger Mark Hofmann, consulted 2026-08-11, for his birth date, the October 1985 bombings, and his current incarceration including the 2016 transfer to the Central Utah Correctional Facility. A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication; for the forgery scheme itself, the dedicated book length treatment, Sillitoe and Roberts's Salamander, remains the stronger source.
