Wikipedia's article on reggae, community-edited. Reliable for the emergence of a distinctly British reggae scene by the late 1970s and into the early 1980s, naming Steel Pulse, Aswad, UB40, Smiley Culture and Carroll Thompson as it traded Jamaican ghetto themes for UK inner-city ones and blended Jamaican patois with Cockney slang; the article gives this only as "late 1970s" and "early 1980s" rather than exact years, a hedge this atlas names rather than resolving into invented precision.

Reliability Tier
3
Community-edited reference page, tier 3. Used for the late-1970s to early-1980s British reggae scene; the article's own phrasing is a decade-range hedge, not an exact year, and this atlas names that rather than inventing one.
Notes
Used for Rastafari's diffusion into Britain through reggae.
