Diallo is working on a report about the pioneers who founded his home town. Several of the Web sites share the same information but there are also several which have contradictory information.

The best way to evaluate the sites to discover which is most likely to have the accurate information is to D. Locate each site's author and evaluate their credentials to determine if they are experienced historians.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Look at the top and bottom of an article.
  • Many websites that employ contributing and staff writers will often display the author name at the top or bottom of an article. This is the first place you should look for an author.
  • A web page title is the value you assign the <title> tag that's typically found on top of an HTML/XHTML document inside the <head> tag.
  • When you type a URL/web address into your browser, several things occur behind the scenes to bring you the correct web page.
  • The first thing your web browser needs to do is translate the domain name into the IP address of a website. Doing this enables it to locate the correct website.
  • The URL is the address of a website. You can find it in the address bar of your web browser. Alternatively, you can find the URL for a link by right-clicking it and copying the link
