/*explanation on some sources
- The Hill's blog/opinion content contains some contributor pieces, which is why it's highlighted in yellow.
- Medium's Cuepoint is considered marginally reliable per RSP.
- Searchlight is a publication by Media Matters, so it's highlighted in yellow.
- Habr seems to be a self-published tech blogging website with minimal editorial oversight
- Herald Weekly (highlighted in pink) seems to be a low-quality clickbait site with insufficient editorial control. Articles from the site have been seen in the "sponsored" section of some news sites. Special:LinkSearch shows that the site has been used in some articles.
- Human Events articles past a date in 2019 have been considered generally unreliable.
- OffGuardian was considered unreliable on RSN due to promoting conspiracy theories.
- Libreddit (including lr.mint.lgbt) is a reddit front-end.
- Rareddit.com is obvious
- [[Red Ice]] is white nationalist propaganda
- TCRL ([[The Cutting Room Floor]]) is an open wiki
- Theartofentertainment.com added per www.snopes.com/fact-check/zach-roloff-death-hoax
- Trustpilot and Sitejabber are just user reviews
- VK is a Russian social networking site.
- Yola is a web hosting service.
- the rest of the sources are mostly from RSP, NPPSG or Wikiproject lists.
