Hi Amohan12, good job with your edits! Just a few suggestions. Firstly, I noticed there are a lot of grammatical and punctuation errors throughout the sections you added, and some of the sentences sound awkward or quotes don't fit in with the sentence. For example, this sentence: "After his initial publication, more clinical cases began to emerge rapidly.[9] and by triggering a series of “Chimney Sweepers' Acts” which aimed to protect chimney sweepers." This quote also doesn't fit well where it is: "described Pott’s surgery as being “divested of great part of its horrors, became, comparatively, a pleasing study."" These are pretty simple/quick things to fix but I think it would really help with the readability of the article instead of distracting the reader constantly. Secondly, I think the Discovery and Identification Credit section is kind of unnecessary. You could add a sentence or two to the previous paragraph summarizing the information instead of creating a full section for it. From the reader's perspective, you are also introducing random people into this section, and I feel like there becomes less of a focus on Pott. Lastly, you could include more clarification in certain areas, such as when you say Pott "preferred gentler forms" or medicine. Great job with everything! Acewind88 (talk) 01:15, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

I don't understand this sentence. Who is John Hunter?
