Source D is reliable in some ways because it suggests that. From my own knowledge I know that In addition, the nature / origin / purpose of Source D makes it reliable because However, in other ways Source D is unreliable/is limited because it suggests that From my own knowledge I know that In addition, the nature / origin / purpose of Source _ makes it unreliable because Source E is reliable in some ways because it suggests that. From my own knowledge I know that In addition, the nature / origin / purpose of Source E makes it reliable because However, in other ways Source E is unreliable/is limited because it suggests that From my own knowledge I know that In addition, the nature / origin / purpose of Source _ makes it unreliable because 1-3 Judgement based on simple valid criteria. EITHER Comments based on assumed reliability/unreliability because source is from an eyewitness, etc. OR Undeveloped comment on reliability of content: subject, amount of detail contained, etc. 4 7 EITHER Judgement based on reliability of the sources information.
