Document Summary

Feel free to critically evaluate other websites or present other relevant information to the group: my first impression was that the site wasn"t going to be reliable since the overall tone is exaggerated and alarmist. A quick skim of the main page backs up that impression let"s not get caught up with facts and science telling us that the octopus isn"t actually endangered, let"s just jump on the bandwagon to save it! It kind of has conspiracy theory undertones to it. I used a cornell university library guide based on the 1998 five criteria (http://guides. library. cornell. edu/evaluating_web_pages). To sum it up, the page is written by someone who is not formally qualified on any related subject, it"s not objective/clearly biased because it is asking for the public"s. 2. help, it"s not associated with a credible organization, and the links used to support the article aren"t really relevant or not from credible sources.
