message: I have seen the section "Training and practice" in the article, to which some info could be added from the following source https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/01425692.2023.2240530 178.138.99.208 (talk) 16:23, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: You must say which info you want to add. Moreover, this link is an original research paper, and Wikipedia policy WP:NOR implies that, for being acceptable in Wikipedia, every original research must have been discussed in other sources. Moreover, there are thousands of articles on mathematical education, and priviledging one of them contradicts anothe fundamental policy of Wikipedia, WP:NPOV.

text: If you want the article mathematical education (not this article mathematics) to discuss the varying results between students based on parental involvement/disposition, you should probably try to find a survey article or the like to use as your source, rather than a particular study. –jacobolus (t) 16:46, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: @Not Fidel I'd recommend against choosing such high level topics as Mathematics and Astrology for an introduction to working on Wikipedia, at least if you want your contributions to be valuable and stick around. Ideally you want to find an article which is at least moderately important but currently underdeveloped or in very poor shape, for example something with 'high' priority and 'start' quality' or 'mid' priority and 'start' quality (those links go to a list of all such articles within WikiProject Mathematics). To write an effective article you need to do quite a bit of book research about a topic, and it's pretty hard to wade into a topic as large as the ones you picked without quite a lot of reading, unless you intend to pick out a particular section that seems missing, undeveloped, or otherwise problematic to focus on. –jacobolus (t) 15:10, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

message: One editor has been making many edits today. I worry that they underestimate how contentious many parts of it are. For example, the opening paragraph has been argued heavily. This is why reliable sources were cited, even in the lede. I do not think that removing these citations is a good idea. It will exacerbate arguments later on.
In my opinion, the highly active editor should discuss on this talk page and build consensus before making more wide-spread changes. It would also be helpful if all, not just some, edits were accompanied by edit summaries. Mgnbar (talk) 22:14, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I've reverted their changes. As someone who spends a lot of time trying to tighten up leads, this clearly meant well but went too far. Remsense诉 23:21, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
