nev<p>When evaluating some random claim someone makes on the Internet, you can ask yourself:</p><p>- Do they say *how they know this*? Do they have a link to an article or mention a book or person you can look up? </p><p>- For claims about a historical event, is any date and place given? </p><p>Now, of course, any random person can write a blog post or article saying anything they want. There are many ways to evaluate how trustworthy an article is—including asking the questions above. But let's take small steps for now! </p><p>(P.
