I think the introduction is very clear and easy to follow. I like how you included the quantitative definitions. I just have a few suggestions regarding the other content. For the section "Common Variants of Normal Growth," I believe the audience would benefit from a table comparing the different kinds of variants. That will make the differences between them more clear, and make it easier to read. For the section "Clinical Significance," I would add more detail on the different disorders, and also possibly create a table. It might even be beneficial to combine both the CVNG and the CS section so that you can directly compare normal and pathologic patterns of growth and their causes. I would also suggest adding more citations, like at the end of this sentence: "A decrease of height velocity with retained or increased weight velocity can be indicative of endocrine disorders including hypothyroidism, growth hormone deficiency, and excess of glucocorticoids."Chnava (talk) 07:51, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
