You're right!

Websites that end in .gov are generally reliable because they are connected with our federal or local governments. Don't be fooled by bells and whistles on a website. Just because the web pages look colorful, it doesn't mean that the information is true. A reliable website usually will post: a) the organization's name, b) the author's name, c) a way that the author can be contacted, and d) a list of references. If you are looking for facts, check out a few different web sites and compare information or double check the information at a library.
