Three-dimensional framework

An anonymous editor recently added a citation that appears either to have copied a portion of this article, or to have been the original source of the Wikipedia text.

Benham and Mahmoudy (2013) reads in relevant part:

Fairclough (1989) developed a three-dimensional guideline for studying discourse. His aim was to map three distinct forms of analysis onto one another: analysis of (spoken or written) language texts, analysis of discourse practice (processes of text production, distribution and consumption) and analysis of discursive events as examples of sociocultural practice. Specifically, he combined micro, meso and macro-level interpretations. At the micro-level, the analyst is concerned with the text's syntax, metaphoric structure and certain rhetorical devices. The meso-level comprised studying the text's production and consumption, concentrating on how power relations are enacted. At the macro-level, the analyst considers intertextual relationships, trying to understand the broad, societal currents that are influencing the text being studied.

Compare this version of the Wikipedia article, from 6 January 2012:

Fairclough developed a three-dimensional framework for studying discourse, where the aim is to map three separate forms of analysis onto one another: analysis of (spoken or written) language texts, analysis of discourse practice (processes of text production, distribution and consumption) and analysis of discursive events as instances of sociocultural practice. Particularly, he combines micro, meso and macro-level interpretation. At the micro-level, the analyst considers the text's syntax, metaphoric structure and certain metorical devises. The meso-level involved studying the text's production and consumption, focusing on how power relations are enacted. At the macro-level, the analyst is concerned with inter-textual understanding, trying to understand the broad, societal currents that are affecting the text being studied.

I think it is inappropriate to use the former as a source for the latter. It seems likely either that one was copied from the other, or that both were (co)written by the same person. Cnilep (talk) 23:57, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

Notable academics

I presume that the listed academics with Wikipedia pages (in English or other languages) are WP:Notable. For other scholars listed, maybe there could be some external standard. I've checked Web of Science for h-index and number of publications for the following scholars.

• Michał Krzyżanowski h-index 23, total publications 58
• John E. Richardson h-index 13, total 126 (also an editor of Critical Discourse Studies, I think)
• Phil Graham h-index 17, total 89
• Hilary Janks h-index 10, total 39
• Christopher Hart h-index 12, total 43
• William Feighery h-index 5, total 9

Web of Science has somewhat spotty coverage of social sciences, though (for comparison, Norman Fairclough has an h-index of 13 and 29 publications in WoS; Ruth Wodak has 23 and 88), so there may be a better standard. Google Scholar? Something else? Cnilep (talk) 01:55, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
