Article evaluation: Philosophy of mathematics education

 * Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?
 * The lead is confusing and too long
 * Central questions are distracting, could be improved
 * Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?
 * There isn't actually any information about the philosophy of mathematics education; only the lead and questions and a link to the Philosophy of Mathematics Education Journal. Maybe start answering the questions
 * Add statements from education policymakers
 * Add number theory
 * Add people's distaste/fear of mathematics (link mathematical anxiety)
 * Add statistics about people in math (high school, undergrad, grad)
 * Add application to society
 * Add thoughts on why mathematics is important
 * What else could be improved?
 * Answer the questions
 * The "further details" shouldn't be there; it should say it in the article!
 * Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?
 * Links work, but one is to an Amazon book. Is someone trying to sell their book? Book by Paul Ernest, looks like the editor is also Paul Ernest (user Rnest2002)
 * Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?
 * Bias about the Amazon book...
 * What kinds of conversations, if any, are going on behind the scenes about how to represent this topic?
 * No talk
 * How is the article rated? Is it a part of any WikiProjects?
 * Stub, low importance
 * How does the way Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class?

Topics I want to cover

 * Wikipedian page: Meetup/Boston/WP101MIT
 * Physics requested articles: Requested articles/Natural sciences/Physics
 * Introductory electromagnetism (was a requested article)
