Before Vs. After!
This is what my project looked like before:
This is any additional information I missed:

Yes, because it had good, reliable information and it gave examples and more info than you asked for.
I personally don’t think the website was biased. The writer never gave their opinion or lured you into thinking what they thought.
I think it’s interesting that it lists such reliable information and goes into great detail and it really gets to the point. Wikipedia is usually known for missing info, so that made me happy.
It gave an astonishing thirty sources and six external links, which is impressive to me.
2. It’s Elemental
Office of Education T. (2015, October 29). It’s Elemental- The Element Neon. Retrieved October 29, 2015. Date of Publication Unknown.

It’s a very good source, and has reliable information. It gave me a bad impression though. Although it was relevant to Neon and it was well written with good information, it didn’t have a date of publication or an author. So, I looked through the page, and found a page that told me how to site it.
It’s possible that some of the information is incorrect, because it didn’t list any sources. Also, it didn’t have as much information as Wikipedia did, but it had an adequate amount of information.
This website is exactly like that friend that seems so quiet, but once you get to know them, they’re a really good person. At first, it kind of looked sketchy, because it had no author or date of publication, but it ended up being a reliable source, and it told me how to site it.

Although you can get all of the information on other websites that have more information.
The website wasn’t very biased, but it didn’t really give any bad things about neon. It simply told you some facts and some uses.
It was a very professional website, listing the date it was written, and author. It listed numerous sources, and not only gave you facts, but a little history and other information.

It was relevant to the subject, and seemed very reliable. Although it was relevant and reliable, I wouldn’t rely on it for an entire project just by itself.
It was not biased at all. It always had facts that did not lure you into thinking a certain way. I think the information is correct because all of the other websites agreed with the facts.
It didn’t really give a ton of information like Wikipedia did, but it gave more details than you asked for. It was a good professional website, and it even had information about all of the other elements.
All of the sources had basically the same information, numbers and facts. None of them really disagreed with the other websites, like they all said that 0.0018% of the atmosphere is neon, and that its atomic number is 10.
