5w's and 1h

We should ask ourselves these six questions:

Who has written this website?

What is it about? Is it factual? What do you know by reading the url?

When was the site last updated? Is it recent enough to be valid?

Where does this information come from? Where does this site link to?

Why will this information be useful? Why has the author written this?

How good is the Information?
