WHO- is the author or sponsor ? Is it a reliable person, site?
WHAT- information is provided ? Does it match other information from valid sources?

WHEN- was the information posted/updated ? Is it current?

WHERE- does the information come from? Is it a reputable source such as .edu or .gov?

WHY- is the information there? Is it there to inform and educate without bias?
