## Web Search and Evaluation
### Google Search 
#### What would you query to see how many pages on the English Wikipedia site mention "Northeastern University"? How many results did you get? 
In order to determine how many pages on the English Wikipedia site mentions "Northeastern University," I would query the following: 

* ["Northeastern University" site:en.wikipedia.org](https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Northeastern+University%22+site%3Aen.wikipedia.org&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS877US877&oq=%22Northeastern+University%22+site%3Aen.wikipedia.org&aqs=chrome..69i57.15750j1j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8)

This search gave me 5,630 results. 

#### What would you query to see web pages about the skate fish but no pages about an "ice rink"?

### Web Credibility
An example of a web page of questionable credability would be [Turning Point USA](https://www.tpusa.com/), a conservative nonprofit organization that acts against the liberal teachings that occur in high schools and college campuses.Their ["Live Feed"](https://www.tpusa.com/livefeed) has news updates and opinion pieces written by the organization's journalists. The credibility of this page is very questionable for several reasons. In Valenza's [Truth, Truthiness, and Triangulation](https://blogs.slj.com/neverendingsearch/2016/11/26/truth-truthiness-triangulation-and-the-librarian-way-a-news-literacy-toolkit-for-a-post-truth-world/), she lays out some "Rules of Thumb" to help test source credibility. She says, "When we see something sensational, it is even more important to be skeptical. Exaggerated and provacative headlines with excessive use of capital letters or emotional language are serious red flags." Here are a few examples of Turning Point USA's headlines: 
* ["Liberalism Ruins Cities"](https://www.tpusa.com/live/liberalism-ruins-cities)
* ["Jenn Jackson at Syracuse University Indoctrinates Her Students with Far-Left Ideologies"](https://www.tpusa.com/live/pwl-jenn-jackson-at-syracuse-university-indoctrinates-her-students-with-far-left-radical-ideologies)
* ["Taxation is Theft"](https://www.tpusa.com/live/taxation-is-theft)

Here, words like "ruins,""indoctrinates," and "theft" are clearly being used to sway or confirm the readers opinions. 

Berkley Library's ["Evaluating Sourches"](https://guides.lib.berkeley.edu/evaluating-resources) page gives a list of things to consider when viewing a resource. For "purpose," it says to question who the article is intended for, and what organizations and companies the site is sponsered by. TPUSA is an openly conservative organization, and it is sponsered by several Republican politicians. Clearly, one must view Turning Point USA through a critical lense to avoid getting misinformed. 

### Wikipedia Evaluation 
Wikipedia's Verifiabiliy page states that all information in the mainspace must be verifiable. The reference for Professor Reagle's work at the World Wide Web Consortium links to a [W3.org](https://www.w3.org/People/Reagle/) page with his profile, thereby verifying that he worked there. 

The claim regarding your "bestselling" book is subjective without any sources, and should be edited to add some sort of verifiability. The language can be changed also; perhaps "bestselling" should be removed. Overall, everything must be verified in order to make this page a credible source. 

The [Joseph Reagle](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Joseph_Reagle&oldid=620740325#cite_note-2) Wikipedia page was created on August 1, 2011.
