1.What about this website do you like?  Not like? I like that its all about my hobby and its easy to get around.

2.Does this website meet most of the “Five Ws” criteria as a legit source?  Why or why not? yes it meets most of the five w's because i can find the background of the website and who wrote the article

3.Knowing what you know now after today’s class, would you continue to use this website as a source for school research?  Why or why not? yes because it gave me lots of info on the person i was looking for and from further research its safe to say most info is true.
