Wikipedia's article on Ronald Hutton, the historian known for his studies of paganism, witchcraft and British ritual year traditions, is a community edited reference page rather than a peer reviewed publication. It is reliable for standard biographical facts such as his academic career and major publications, and less reliable for evaluating the substance of his own historical arguments about the invented or continuous nature of specific traditions, which are themselves the subject of ongoing scholarly discussion. Use it for basic biography; a claim from one of Hutton's own arguments needs his primary work directly.
