CRAP Detection, Terra

This article is fairly current because it's still relavent today as the issue is still important today. People are able to comment on the article which helps it remain current as well. I think that the article is credible because according to the CRAP test, I can access information about the author if I please. He suggests trying to google the author and see what else he/she has had published. There are ways to contact Howard on his website as well as other articles and books he is a part of.
Howard also uses links in his article which improves credibility by displaying where he gets his information. I think that's also how we can tell he's a reliable source to access. He also requests people comment on relevent resources so that other people can check his information too if they like. It is his own point of view that has been adopted from Ernest Hemmingway, who is a very credible author.
