# Web Search and Evaluation
## Google Search

After using Google Search and Advanced Google Search to research Northeastern University, I found that about 11,200 results showed up from the English Wikipedia site specifically.

Using Advaced Search, I required "skate fish" to be included in the search as an exact word or phrase, allowed any sites including the words "ice" and "rink," but removed the phrase "ice rink" from my pages. The result was the following:

## Web Credibility
Upon researching "fake news" outlets, I stumbled upon ABCnews.com.co. At first glance, it can be assumed this website is home to ABC News, or the American Broadcasting Company; owned by Disney and the ABC Television group. It was not until further inspection that I recognized the ".co" at the end of the URL. When compared to the official ABC news outlet, this fake website copied the URL, logo, and some news stories before being debunked. Reflecting on the reading by the SLJ, the article mentioned some general rules of thumb when trying to determine whether or not a website is trusted. Both readings discussed "domain manipulation" and the importance of interrogating URLs and checking with the source before trusting the site. The ".co" in ABCnews.com.co is a sign that the following website is fake or deceptive and not what it may seem at first glance. Additionally, when inspecting the website further, I noticed several ad pop-ups immediately. Knowing I a) had my ad blocker on, and b) would not see pop-ups on official sites, it was easy to follow the guidelines Valenza highlighted in her article to further prove this was not a reliable source.

## Wikipedia Evaluation
Verifiability means that users accessing the encyclopedia are able to check that the information on the site is rooted from a reliable source.
Regarding the Wikipedia page, "Joseph Reagle," the fact stating the employment at the World Wide Web Consortium is correctly cited. It includes the built-in citation in the URL as well as the inline citation which proves its material has been backed up and supported. The statement regarding the "bestselling book," on the other hand, could benefit from another citation to prove its genuinity. This could include the URL from the book's retailer or another source which would prove this statement further. The Wikipedia:Verifiablity page encourages all Wiki authors to include the maximum number of citations to ensure the website maintains a high caliber of information.
