Article Evaluation Exercise (social work)

 * another wiki user on the talk page wanted to incorporate some of his background in environmental education
 * do not think it would be as relevant to the article topic
 * one citation brought me to a page of canadian social workers.
 * is there a difference between canadian social work and US social work
 * if so, should that be addressed in the article
 * article is still a work in progress
 * separating and detailing more of the information would make the article much stronger
