Habiba-

if the website refers to other sources, Look for an author's name, credentials, and associated organization, date and publication. Usually involves an "About Us" section that details the organization behind the site. A domain page involves certain gov/ edu credentials

Victor - The author of a webpage is usually listed in the about section or at the bottom of the page in the copyright notice. To find out who is hosting the site look at the domain name like .com or use a whois lookup tool to get details about the hosting company.

Jeffin- A website is reliable if it provides accurate, up-to-date, and properly sourced information. You can check for a clear author or organization, citations or references for claims. The author is typically found at the top or bottom of the page, near the publication date. The hosting group can be identified through the domain type and information provided on the site’s "About" or homepage.

Haylie - I can tell if a website has reliable information by looking at the URL specifically. We can find out the author by the name and date being posted on the article either at the bottom or top. We can tell the type of group hosting and maintaining a webpage by looking at the content being provided.

Diego Burgos: When websites have a work cited page at the bottom of the page referring to where they get all their information is a reliable way to tell if the information in a certain article is accurate. The author usually would have an "About me" at the bottom of the article as well

Brian Lopez: We can tell if the website is reliable if it ends in .org, .gov, .edu, or other reliable ending domains. We can find the author by looking at the top or bottom of the page, about section, or contact section. We can see who’s hosting by looking at the website footer or “about us” page
