Generally, Wikipedia pages also include references and many of them are legitimate sources of information. In that sense, Wikipedia can be helpful as a starting point for online research more than as an authoritative source of any information.
Website 3 -- the National Anti-Vivisection Society: http://navs.org
The National Anti-Vivisection Society appears to be a legitimate organization with many links to established animal welfare organizations such as the Human Society of the United States and ASPCA. On the other hand, it is more of an advocacy site than an information or news site. The main concept of the organization is based on subjective belief and opinions in connection with the relative rights of non-human animals. While that position actually seems appropriate and more justifiable than the opposite position (i.e. insensitivity to the suffering of animals for human benefit), it is not, strictly speaking, based on objective facts. Because the website is so particularly dedicated to its cause, it may not necessarily provide the fullest range of information, even if the information it does present...
Nevertheless, one would expect most of the information provided to be fairly reliable, at least in the sense that it can be checked through links included on the site to government agencies and other objective sources of factual information and some of the conclusions argued by the organization.
Summary
The National Geographic website is likely to be a very reliable source of factual information pertaining to the natural world and issues in the realm of environmental science. The organization has a long and well-known history and its authors are credentialed professionals with advanced degrees and legitimate academic and professional associations.

It may be useful as an informal source of information and as the starting point for formal research. Finally, the National Anti-Vivisection Society appears to be a legitimate organization, but may not necessarily provide a comprehensive analysis of all related issues by virtue of its express mission and values.

Another field that has been affected by the Internet is that of the manufacturing companies whose using of outsourcing has significantly grown, thus enabling them to move much of their production to less expensive overseas locations. Though starting a new business on the Internet is often easier and less expensive than "brick and mortar" companies, many are reluctant "to put their critical information on it because it will be exposed" (Bill
(Horticulture and the advantages of using the Internet Technology) What are the disadvantages of conducting business, large or small, on the Internet? They may be many. However, the most important disadvantages are: it can actually create a feeling of isolation; the businessman may feel that he has become isolated. This means that he may get the feeling that the World Wide Web is faceless and emotionless, and thus the business
Although intranet pages may provide links to the Internet, an intranet is not a site accessed by the general public" (Housel and Hom, 1999). Aside from the intranet, the company also uses a wide array of anti-virus programs, firewalls and virtual private networks. The scope of these software applications is that of screening the information which flows between all the organizational computers (Answers, 2011). At the level of the organization,
The office and administrative expenses would remain constant even to that point, as would the insurance expense. Exhibit B: Cash Flow Statement, Year Two At this point, the business is earning a healthy return and Mr. Ahn is receiving will be able to bring in a reasonable salary. The nature of the business may well change at this point. At the maximum revenue of $144,000 per year the pretax profit would
This distribution can be applied to multiple business situations even where data is distributed differently, because a normal distribution adopts the central limit theorem which suggests that no matter how a population is distributed, the distribution "of the means of random samples approaches a normal distribution for a large sample size" (ICMBA, 2002). Business executives can use normal business distribution to create diversified asset portfolios, to calculate process variations within
