## Questionable Web Page

Article title: "Andrew Cuomo Unveils Plan To Reduce Covid Spread At Nursing Homes By Throwing Residents Out Onto Street"
Examination: Using Berkley Library criteria, it is quickly clear this source is suspect. The author is unnamed, and seemingly is portraying objective facts. The purpose and publication quickly tie together to show why it's not a serious source: it's a web article on The Onion, a long-running satirical news outlet. The article is meant to entertain, not be taken seriously. The article has no citations or links to any professional newswire, as well as a lack of video or audio documentation of Governor Cuomo's supposed statements.

## Wikipedia Evaluation
- The evidence for Professor Reagle's experience with the W3C is a self-published page, which isn't ideal for verification of his time with the group. Anyone with enough web literacy can make a page and claim elements of their work background, a third-party citation would be best. And the descriptor of *Good Faith Collaboration* as best-selling lacks any citation at all. Some external source noting its relative success would be helpful to bolster this claim.
