Would you say in person? In front of your mother?
Is it true? How do you know?
CAPITAL LETTERS are shouting.
Don’t send an email when angry.

Don’t hide behind fake names
Don’t steal someone else’s writing – even from an email
Don’t steal computer programs, music, or videos
Don’t hack a web site

Anyone can put up a Web page
about anything
Many pages not kept up-to-date
No quality control
most sites not “peer-reviewed”
less trustworthy than scholarly publications
no selection guidelines for search engines

Can you tell who wrote it ? name of page author organization, institution, agency you recognize e-mail contact by itself not enough
Credentials for the subject matter ? Look for links to:
“About us”“Philosophy”“Background” “Biography”
Is it recent or current enough ? Look for “last updated” date - usually at bottom
If no links or other clues... truncate back the URL
