Oh, hi, and welcome. OK, yes, I'll look at those links you posted and look further into the matter -- but not perhaps for day or too, if that's OK. Herostratus (talk) 06:27, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I looked at the links. These are all "primary sources". We use "secondary sources" for articles, mostly. To illustrate this, suppose I had an article saying "MyMaths is widely used" and, do demonstrate this, I linked to five school websites that used it (these are primary sources). This doesn't prove it's widely used. It just proves that five schools use it. An actual newspaper report saying that MyMaths is widely used would offer proof, depending on the newspaper and how reliable it is (this would be a secondary source).

There is one link that actually talks about MyMaths (rather than just demonstrating that they use it -- the King's School one. But this is not a notable source. They say "containing excellent interactive review and explanatory pages" but this is just one anonymous person's opinion. If the one person was a writer for Education Review that'd be different, we would then assume that the person is a neutral person with expertise.

Sorry, I'm still not seeing the basis for an article here. Herostratus (talk) 16:47, 4 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
