Step 4:

       A topic I am interested in - Xiangqi

    Website visited - http://www.clubxiangqi.com/rules/

     I feel that this source is credible and accurate. In the website, it tells us the basic movement of the chess pieces, and this is shown in the wiki page, under the subtitle "Play". Both states the same thing, that the "advisers" move only one space at a time diagonally, and that the "elephants" move two spaces at a time diagonally. Also, both tells us why a certain piece cannot move under the circumstances, such as a "horse" cannot move if there is a piece next to the horse in the horizontal (vertical) direction. This is because the horse is 'blocked' and thus, the move is not allowed.

     However, a difference between the two websites is that the wiki had included the Indian name "king" for this piece was changed to "general"because the China's ruler objected to their royal title "king" or "emperor" being given to a game-piece. However, this information was not present in the source and the "general" was called a "king". This showed that the wiki page did not just take all the information from one source, but from other sources too, so that the wiki page can minimise error that the creator of the source could had made. This is a great way of giving information to us readers. 

Reflections:

   

    I had learnt that we need proper citation and we have to get our information from more than just one source. This is because the source might have some errors, such as the information changing over time, and human errors during the creation of the source. Also, we need to be careful in looking for our source. If we do not do so, we might end up with  misinformation. This shows that information on the Internet might not be the best, and it is sometimes necessary for us to grab a reference book from the library or bookshop, since books are great ways to gain information.
