Citation readiness
Whether the page carries marks of something worth citing: author, date, sources, and specifics.
Worth 10 of 100 in the audit score.
What we check
We look for a byline, visible date, source links, and concrete numbers.
Why it matters
Between equally useful pages, a page showing who wrote it, when, and what it is based on is safer to quote.
How to fix it
- Use a real byline and visible date for claims.
- Link sources for numbers.
- Prefer specifics over vague superlatives.
