6. A website that is not creditable,  is [TMZ](https://www.tmz.com). This is because it does not have creditable sources. The article *Truth, truthiness, triangulation: A news literacy toolkit for a “post-truth” world*, by Joyce Valenza discusses credibility. TMZ is an example of a confirmation basis, which is when readers believe everything on the internet is truthful. This is because TMZ does not cite its sources and tries to pull readers in, even if the story is not true. This site also is an example of virality, since it uses attention-grabbing headlines. These headlines are able to get the attention of readers at the expense of celebrities, regardless of the validity of the article.

A.  The Wikipedia page looks accurate as it has citations at the bottom and the hyperlinks work correctly. There are new versions of the Wikipedia page, with more updated information. The most current versions have significantly more sources and citations. By using questions listed in the Berkley Library reading I was able to check for issues within this Wikipedia page. Especially the question under documentation about sources and date of publication. 

B. The citations for the book Good Faith Collaboration are not correct as it is hyperlinked, but there is no citation at the bottom of the page. This can be identified through the questions in the Berkley Library article that take a closer look at citations. Through this article it allows readers to question the credibility of the page. 

C. I would suggest updating the citations so they properly cited on the hyperlinks. As seen in a newer version of the Wikipedia page  

D. The first version of the Wikipedia page was published on June 30th, 2012. There was one mention of the page in August 2011, but it was linked to the book Good Faith Collaboration.
