This is Wikipedia's article on Sir John Woodroffe, the British judge and scholar who wrote on Hindu Tantra under the pen name Arthur Avalon. As a perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer reviewed publication, it is a reasonable source for standard, uncontroversial biographical facts, his career, his dates and his major published works, but not the source to rely on for a contested or specialist claim about his own scholarly interpretations of Tantric texts. Cite it for the ordinary biographical facts it states and consult a dedicated academic study of Woodroffe's scholarship for anything more specific.
