in section 'Creation of Winter Counts'
2nd paragraph, last sentence: "While much of the information provided by winter counts about epidemics is studied alongside accounts written by fur traders, missionaries, and military personnel, records have been able to identify the accuracy of the effects of an epidemic." Its last part: "(...) records have been able to identify the accuracy of the effects of an epidemic" seems not be in the correct word order to make sense/ seems to be incomplete? Or does that fully make sense to native speakers (of English) as it is? To me, I'd believe the research was about the accuracy OF (I guess) THE DEPICTION/ THE RECORDING/ THE RECORDS (kept in the form of Winter Counts depictions) of the effects of the epidemics; not about 'the accuracy of the (effects of the) epidemic' -- (as far as I know the meaning of the word "accuracy") that makes no sense? -- Would be nice if someone could review this :-) (thank you all for all the informations & contributions, have a good time!) 2A02:3038:208:11BD:BCC7:646F:886A:7399 (talk) 22:47, 13 January 2023 (UTC)


 * I changed the sentence in question to "By studying written accounts from fur traders, missionaries, and military personnel from a winter count's time and place of origin, scholars gain a broader understanding of the effects of epidemics."
 * Thanks for pointing it out! HMSyume (talk) 20:21, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
