Rating




References (30): I'd give it a 20 because not all information has references.

Documentation (20): They do give the dates for which the facts/information was taken place but not for everything and doesn't exactly tell who the information is coming from except the site and a few magazine sources. I would rate this a 10 only for documentation.

Vetting (20): There is no sign of peer review on the page but maybe on the links/sources it gives us which are magazines. I only rate this a 5.

Author Information (30): There is no author but really just an narrarator that gives all the information. I'd rate this a 10 because its weak, hard to find where the information is coming from and how to contact them.
