Your correction should be "I don't know which sites to look at", but means the same as what I wrote. The definition of a three-star review is "More than a few mistakes but still acceptable." Please explain how this qualifies as three stars.

Sorry, I didn't even mean for the preposition to be "at" in this case. I meant to write "look for information." The sentence "I don't know sites are good to view" is ungrammatical nevertheless.
I was about to give you four stars, but apparently, that is reserved for translations without any mistakes. I was reluctant to give you three stars, but according to Conyac's standards, this translation qualifies only as three stars.

You're right that it's not correct, which is why I put my correction in the comments section.

That's unfortunate because I can't see the comments section. Despite your other error, I would reverse my rating if I could.
