Finding reliable, valid information

Intro: I have visited the following hoax education websites.
http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/blhoaz.htm
http://dreamweaverstudios.com/moonbeam/moon.htm
http://www.dhmo.org
http://www.geocities.com/TelevisionCity/Network/9000/
http://zapatopi.net/afdb.html

How can we access that information found on the internet is properly real?
What signs should make us distrust a site?

Answer: Internet websites could be trusted if they have been approved by a certain company or are owned by a certain company. For example, i would trust the BBC Bitesize website as it is run and monitored by the BBC which means the information will be relevent and correct. Also, ways to distrust a site if the fact that if a website is ran by a website which isn't know of as it may be providing hoax information like the websites above.
