Standish Hospital

Standish Hospital. I see you have deleted most of my additions to the Standish Hospital article. Most of my information was sourced from Atkinson, Gillian (2004). A photographic history of Standish House and its occupants. This is a reputable account by the secretary of Standish Hospital. I did reference this as my source. I will try to provide more references. The main objection I have is your reference to its use as a military hospital in WW2. I have found no evidence for this and I note you have not given a source. Please could you let me know your source for this. I have checked in the Gloucestershire Archives catalogue and there is no record of this in their summary of the history. I will visit GA and check out the minutes. I have two accounts, one written by someone who was in the hospital in the 1940s and one by a former member of staff and no mention of military. Gillian Atkinson has no mention of this either. Vicki Walker Stonehouse History Group 2A02:C7D:3E60:6B00:AC98:9D90:1459:7206 (talk) 16:47, 3 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

I agree that Gillian Atkinson's book is a good source. The reason I deleted the additional material you added is that it did not have in-line citations as required by WP:CITE. You need to cite each line as "Atkins, p. [x]". Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 16:58, 3 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

I also agree with you re use in WW2 and have removed the mention of its use as a military hospital. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 17:01, 3 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

By the way, please can you also insert the page number from Gillian Atkinson's book where the article mentions "2,292 sick and wounded soldiers". Thanks. Dormskirk (talk) 17:32, 3 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi Thanks for your help. I have added some information and tried to put the sources in correctly. Please advise if it needs more work — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vlwalker (talk • contribs) 12:38, 5 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi - Please can you put a source at the end of the paragraph which reads "In 1956 the League of Friends for Standish Hospital was formed which organised fund raising and additional amenities for patients and visitors. The hospital continued to develop its service including Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy." Otherwise great. Well done! Dormskirk (talk) 20:44, 5 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
