West Park Hospital, Epsom
Hello,, and thank you for your contributions!

I wanted to let you know it seems an article you worked on, West Park Hospital, Epsom, is copied from another Wikipedia page, West Park Asylum. It's fine to do this as long as you provide the following information in the edit summary:


 * 1) a link to the article you copied from
 * 2) the date you copied it

You can do this now by editing the page, making any minor edit to the article, and adding the above information into the edit summary.

If you're still not sure how to fix the problem, please leave a message at the help desk. It's possible that I made a mistake, so feel free to remove the tag I placed on the article.

Thanks again for helping build the free encyclopedia! CorenSearchBot (talk) 14:57, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give West Park Asylum a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. Best regards,  Cind.   amuse  (Cindy) 15:19, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

This seems entirely reasonable, thanks for explaining. I would ask that the unnecessary page now be deleted as soon as possible, so that the page can be moved in the accepted wayBroomwicks (talk) 15:31, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

the things you are doing in the Epsom Cluster
Just wanted to say "Well done". I think I started some of these articles off or added a bit to them, and I'm glad someone has picked them up and is running with them :) Fiddle Faddle (talk) 21:22, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Netherne-on-the-Hill, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Rehabilitation (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Old vs modern names of hospitals
Hi there,

I notice that you have been changing quite a few hospital and asylum names from their original to their name at closure. I'm not sure if this is altogother constructive without discussion first. In most cases, the institution is now closed, and most editors have chosen to use the name that the hospital had for the longest, even if that changed in later years.

The WP policies on naming don't cover the old/new thing specifically, but DO cover the fact that title changes should be by consensus. I think that the moves should be reverted and discussed individually on the talk pages. OwainDavies (about)(talk) edited at 07:16, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

Hello, By changing these articles' names, I have attempted to standardise the quality of British psychiatric hospital articles on Wikipedia. For the most part the names I have added had been used for in excess of 50 years, which in many hospitals would indeed be the greater part of their history. In the case of Claybury and Knowle for example, the word 'Asylum' was only used for a relatively short period in their history. The word 'Asylum' was in fact removed by law from all hospital names by the Mental Treatment Act 1930 and thereafter the name hospital was used without fail. In addition, were the hospitals still operating, the article would certainly use the most recent name and furthermore in most government and local authority literature, the institutions would be referred to as 'The former X Hospital' rather than 'the former X Asylum/Sanatorium'.

Some of the names formerly used for articles, e.g. West Park Asylum, and Cane Hill, were not accurate, the former never having been the name of the hospital and the latter being incomplete as discussed in the move summary. You are welcome to revert titles if you still think it necessary and I will be happy to discuss this in the relevant talk pages, but please only do so if you know for certain that the original title of the article is accurate and/or was used in official documentation at some time in the institution's history. Anything else has the potential be misleading. --Broomwicks (talk) 08:38, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
