Talk:Funtley

The history of the Little Church of St Francis and its stained glass window has been recorded in a booklet by Malcolm Low Malcolmlow 21:32, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Unfererenced material
Malcolm Low provides http://homepage.ntlworld.com/m.low1/ironworks/books.htm as a reference for the second part of the Knowle Hospital section. This is not a suitable citation, as it does not back up the claims that straight jackets were often needed, nor that children were housed in a certain block, nor the name of one of the blocks and about the use of double-locking doors. My research on the hospital reveals it to have had a much better regime than this part of the article would suggest.

I would suggest that Malcolm stops removing the tag until such time as he can appropriately cite the claims that he makes! Accuracy is key to Wikipedia, and removing the tag without being able to provide a citation is not in the spirit of the encyclopaedia.

In reply: Reference to the Idiot's children block is refered too in the Knowle Experience written by Charles Attard in which he quotes from John Burr who worked in the hospital from 1943-1982. The refernce to the straight jackets etc and padded cells was taken from Fareham Past & Present publication Vol III book 14 pages 41-44 written by F. Hoare who worked at the hospital.

I hope this will satisfy the person who queried the information as it is written fact by people who actually worked in the hospital and therefore would be appropriate for the encyclopeadia. So please insert any information that has been removed. 86.15.48.239 (talk)- Malcolm Low —Preceding comment was added at 20:02, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Fontley Iron mills
I have reverted a recent addition:
 * 1) Do not cite your own unpublished research: see WP:OR. If you really need to cite your own sources.
 * 2) Being a trustee of the town (i.e. town improvement commissioner) implies no more than residence in the area. Similarly, the place of baptism of children may only indicate the parish church attended.  Funtley Mill virtually straddled the boundary, so that attendence of Gosport rather than Titchfield (?) church is unlikely to be significant.  Peterkingiron (talk) 23:14, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
