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)
Lack of references and information
The majority of this article lacks citation, such as many of the paragraphs in the History of Concept and in the Literature, media, and the arts. Underneath the History of Concept, claims are made without the use of citations as well as the lack of references for quotes made. The text underneath this title needs to be completely supported as each subject and example provided requires a source. There is also the lack of evidence behind Robert K. Merton's accreditation as well as the "examples abound", "extensive evidence", and "famous example". No information is provided to clarify this. Many of the origin stories under Literature, media, and the arts also do not hold any citations as to how the stories connect with the topic. -T15311327 (talk) 20:13, 9 September 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) would be good to include a citation in first paragraph regarding "Ancient Greece and ancient India..."
