A citation to Wikipedia's own article on Zadok the Priest, read directly. Its strength is a consolidated record of the anthem's 1727 composition and premiere, its biblical text, and its unbroken use at every British coronation since, including internal cross reference against the full catalogue of Handel's four coronation anthems. Its limit is that it is a tertiary encyclopedia entry rather than a dedicated musicological study of the coronation anthems specifically.

Assessment
Reliability Tier2
Wikipedia's own article, cited for consolidated production and reception facts that are independently checkable against the historical record; that checkable factual core places it above the tier three floor a bare Wikipedia citation otherwise carries here, though it remains a tertiary encyclopedia entry rather than a dedicated academic study, hence the middle tier.
