Talk:Royal Naval Hospital

Changes to lede
The following is copied from my talkpage after I reverted 's addition of the word 'service' to the lede:-

Because it was a service that was administered by the sick and hurt board from its inception until it was abolished in 1806 it was then administered by the transport board until 1832 of which there is no information provided in the article to explain that either also the boards appointed first a Physician of Fleet responsible from both boards inception until 1832 for Royal Navy Hospital (services) RN hospitals were then run by:
 * Physician of the Navy, 1832 to 1835
 * Physician-General of the Navy, 1835 to 1841
 * Inspector-General of Naval Hospitals and Fleets. 1841 to 1844
 * Director-General of the Medical Department of the Navy, 1844, 1917
 * Medical Director-General, 1918-present who runs the, Royal Naval Medical Service

There is no correlation in both articles at all that one led into the other and as I am drafting articles about organizational structure within the admiralty:


 * User:Navops47/draft/ADM 16th century
 * User:Navops47/draft/ADM 17th century
 * User:Navops47/draft/ADM 18th century
 * User:Navops47/draft/ADM 19th century

Rather than REVERT without doing your homework correctly this article charts the connection between the current and past hospital/medical services http://www.britishnavalhistory.com/wickstead_rnms_earliest_times/ and shortly will expand and make the connection between both.--Navops47 (talk) 12:14, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Rather than add unreferenced content, wouldn't you be better off finding reliable sources for your contentions first. Blogs generally don't come up to the required standard. What you are proposing is a significant change to the article lede. Is the article to be about the building, i.e. the hospital, or about a medical service. I think it needs to be discussed first. So I will copy this conversation to the talk page. CalzGuy (talk) 12:53, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * No need to discuss anything the article source now added until you pounced on it is written by Jane Wickenden, Historic Collections Librarian, Institute of Naval Medicine, Alverstoke, Gosport. link to that institute here: http://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/our-organisation/where-we-are/training-establishments/institute-of-naval-medicine there is a clear connection and evolution of the service between both articles from Royal Navy Hospital to Royal Navy Medical Service they are both Medical services operated by the Royal Navy.--Navops47 (talk) 13:00, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
 * How can we be sure it was written by the esteemed lady?It's a blog, not a reliable source. Just because you say it is her, doesn't make it so. CalzGuy (talk) 13:06, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
