Website Evaluation

Victorian Robots

Who
Has someone taken responsibility for the content of this Web site?
Yes, Paul Guinan

Are there any links to in-depth information about the author or organization?
Yes, there is a link to a biography about the author of the website.

Can you contact the company or author through a real world postal address or phone number?
No, there is only an email to contact the author of this website.

What
Is the information well written and easy to understand?
Yes, it is clearly stated

What's the copyright status of material found on the site?
2001

Is the information biased in any way?
No

When
Is it important that the information you're looking for be absolutely current?
No, it is historical

Is a reference date provided to show when the material was put online, or when it was last updated?
No, it only states copyright 2001, but nothing else

Do the links work?
The links for extra information work. But there is no links for websites where some information was found.

Credibility
All the information found on the site seems to be true, but there is no links to where the information they have used came from. No bibliography to check their sources. And the only way to contact them is through email. So it is a little questionable if this site is legit or not.
