Question:![Penguin pair](https://live.staticflickr.com/8646/15798589947_7b6d029ae8_b.jpg) 2. **Web Credibility** [BuzzFeed.News](https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/stefficao/dream-minecraft-gamer-youtube-face-reveal) featured a news article claiming that a big Youtuber called Dream (who has done youtube for years without revealing his face) will finally reveal it in his next video. However, this web page has questionable credibility for various reasons. Firstly, BuzzFeed is a page used to entertain, meaning anyone can post any form of content that will attract an audience, regardless of whether the information is accurate or not. Therefore, I had to fact-check to avoid confirmation bias, as I have previously done with this news. Regarding this specific article, however, we can see images of the Youtuber tweeting the news of his face reveal. And after reading Valenza's article, I had no option but to be suspicious of this evidence as it could have easily been manipulated through photo editing programs. Moreover, this is huge news for Dream fans since they've been waiting to see this YouTuber's face reveal for years. Thus, as mentioned in the article, it is important to suspect the sensational and triangulate to ensure this source is speaking the truth. Lastly, when looking at a news article posted on one of these web pages, it is important to question things like authority, purpose, publication/format, relevance, date of publication, and documentation, as mentioned in the Berkley Library source. 3. **Wikipedia Evaluation** - a. Well, both of these claims have been previously published and verified facts about Joseph Reagle on Wikipedia. Therefore, these claims relate to the policy of Wikipedia: Verifiability since they come from a reliable source indicating the accuracy of Reagle's book being "bestselling" and that he has worked at the World Wide Web Consortium. - Lastly, If I were to change anything, it would involve adding more updated information. - b. According to its history, this page was first created on the 1st of August 2011.
