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 Pashtunwali, consulted 2026-08-13. Useful here for melmastia's definition and unconditional obligation, its independence from the related pillar nanawatai, its place alongside nanawatai and badal as one of the code's three primary pillars, and Mohammed Gulab's sheltering of Marcus Luttrell under melmastia.
