Life and Work?
Hey, the information in the article is very well presented. The language is neutral and clear, and moves along at a good pace. I'm curious, though, if splitting up the initial part of his life and then his career would help the organization of the article. This is my only real organizational critique of the article. Beyond that, I think that the "Legacy" section contains a lot of interesting information, but that it needs to be organized into a more paragraph form. Try to find some way to connect them, or if not, consider creating a different section for it. Good work! Ccoope52 (talk) 15:22, 17 March 2017 (UTC)

Thanks! Ssimko1 (talk) 16:25, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

Pharmacist?
Is it accurate to present him as a pharmacist? EtherDoc (talk) 16:59, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Public demonstration?
Requests to cite early public demonstrations of ether anesthesia by Long have not been heeded. I will remove references to "public demonstrations" before 1846 until an actual reference is found. EtherDoc (talk) 17:10, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Peer Review for Ssimko1
Hey, I really liked your contribution and enjoyed reading what you had to write about Crawford Long. To further improve your addition, I would recommend reformatting it so that the legacy section flows better--maybe relate the information about Long's legacy and posthumous honors in a way so that it connects with the previous sentences instead of having disjoint facts. When you write: "In 1879, the National Eclectic Medical Association declared that Long was the official discoverer of anesthesia.[17] “Doctors Day” is celebrated on March 30 every year to commemorate Long’s contributions. The University of Pennsylvania memorialized Crawford W. Long in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, April 1912, with a bulletin and bronze medallion.[18]" It just seems like a list of facts as opposed to an article. Alternatively, you could potentially start a new section detailing the honors awarded to Dr. Long as a section separate from his legacy.Overall, I feel your article was really well-researched and cited, great work!

Slaves
Need to add more information on this, here is a good source with more info on it: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2563360/ Llightex (talk) 19:52, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

Amputations on African slaves
"...best known for his first use of inhaled sulfuric ether as an anesthetic, discovered by performing surgeries on disabled African American slaves that included the amputations of their fingers and toes."

So what about those horrors? Did Long perpetrate them? Certainly the text strongly suggests it. No further details given. Maybe just bad writing and someone else did it. 2A02:AA1:160B:CE1E:1432:4C38:E36E:1055 (talk) 18:03, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
