There are not enough references to each fact that are both reliable and relatable to the individual fact. For example, "In Canadian hockey, junior league players are selected based on skill, motor coordination, physical maturity, and other individual merit criteria." Where did this statistic come from and how reliable is it?
Also, according to whom did the following take place?
"Merton took the concept a step further and applied it to recent social phenomena."
There needs to be clarification as to where this information came from.
Where is this "extensive evidence"?
"There is extensive evidence of "Interpersonal Expectation Effects" where the seemingly private expectations of individuals can predict the outcome of the world around them."
There is a lack of information as to what the "extensive evidence" is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RachaelCalvin (talk • contribs) 01:00, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
Lack of Cites, Irrelevant Info, and Direct Quotes
There are many different citations missing from different parts of the article.. It directly from different articles several times, for example the 1948 . Doesn't have enough evidence to support the statement that self-fulfilling prophecy stems from Merton's theorem. Goes out of topic talking about economic theories and models. Give conclusion on how to break the prophecy cycle, but Misplaced Pages is about facts not how to's. Directly quotes from Karl Popper article. Goes way off topic giving too many examples(over presented) of where self fulfilling prophecies can be found in literature. The Canadian Hockey reference is irrelevant, and just confuses or distracts from giving facts of what a self fulfilling prophecy is.Ordoneznx (talk) 01:40, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
Missing citations
It is great to use so much information, but certain sections have no research to verify their information. Without a source it is hard to determine if the information is unbiased and correctly relayed. In the sections about Russia and India non e of this information ties back to a source. Without sources these sections can easily be labeled as false information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BrebreT (talk • contribs) 03:33, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
