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 [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Critical_discourse_analysis&oldid=469907274 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. 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)
