[edit]

I've added a reference to an encyclopedia article on Bonny Norton (Higgins, 2011), but it's still suggested that it be deleted. Why?

I screwed up. See my reply to your question here [1]. JbhTalk 23:56, 27 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
An Encyclopedia is still not an especially good source. Per WP:RS, you want solid secondary sources, rather than primary or tertiary ones. --jbmurray (talkcontribs) 10:12, 28 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Jbmurray and Jbhunley: While the quality of the sources maybe bad, there are some better sources that have described the importance of this subject.[2][3] OccultZone (TalkContributionsLog) 09:50, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. JbhTalk 10:41, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Neither of those are good sources: the first is merely the author's blurb (which is most usually written by the author him or herself); the second is simply a link to a co-authored article by Bonny Norton. --jbmurray (talkcontribs) 00:48, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I would not object to AfD if nothing better can be found. JbhTalk 01:13, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

This line from the article is directly taken from a paper "Identity and a Model of Investment in Applied Linguistics" By Ron Darvin and Bonny Norton " In this view, learners can be highly motivated to learn a language, but may not necessarily be invested in the language practices of a given classroom or community if their practices are, for example, racist or sexist.

There appear to be several of the same phrases or sentences in this article and that paper. I'm not sure if it's a copyright violation, or simply overzealous quoting. The Darvin & Norton paper is cited here. I've blanked the section 'Key ideas' and raised the issue at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2018 August 31 in order to be abundantly cautious.
