What is MLA citation
MLA citation is a form of citation that includes the authors name, the copyright date/year published (©).
Deciding if it is credible, and/or reliable
Find the author, the url (.com vs .edu, etc), sponsors, ads, etc. Once you find these things, then you go to two other websites, and see if they have the same, or close to the same information. You also need to find the same things on the other website (see sentence #1).
