Is there proof? Does the page have links to confirm the facts? Do the links take me to pages with multiple points of view? Are all the links active? Can I verify the information elsewhere? This is referred to as “ Veracity ”.

Is anyone looking after the page? Has it been updated? Can you tell? If it has not been updated, is the information current? Do the links work? Is it part of a larger network of pages? Do you know who published it? This is also referred to as “ Currency ”

Who made it? Can you find an author ’ s name? Is there a way to contact them? Can you find other information about the author in other searches? Is the author qualified to create the page? Is the author part of a larger collective? This is also referred to as “ Authority ”.
