    Does it prove your point? (Or is it something you want to disprove?)

    Is it a valid source?

    If you have 2 yes's, then it is noteworthy.

    If it sounds important and can be used to prove your point, it's probably noteworthy.

    I was told by one of my professors that if a website ends with anything but '.com', then it would probably be a scholarly source, but I would read all the information just to make sure.
