Asylum category
Hi. You've obviously done a lot of work filling up Category:UK Psychiatric (Asylum) Hospitals. Were you aware that Category:Psychiatric hospitals in the United Kingdom already existed? How does your new category relate to that? I can see there's an argument for maybe having a separate Category:Asylums in the United Kingdom for the historical institutions but as someone who isn't an expert on the field, it feels like there's duplication here. In any case your category needs renaming - we try to avoid brackets in category names unless they are essential for disambiguation and in this case it is a bit confusing - is it all psych hospitals or just the old asylums? Also we avoid abbreviations in general, the convention is to write out in full "in the United Kingdom". Have a think about it - you may want to ask for further assistance over at WikiProject Medicine. Whilst we're on the subject, I see History of psychiatric institutions is pretty US-slanted, you may have something to contribute there. Cheers. Le Deluge (talk) 15:39, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks, have suggested an altered title, I was aware of Category:Psychiatric hospitals in the United Kingdom and was trying to identify only asylum buildings that are or had been psychiatric hospitals. This new title does that better and allows for the creation of two more categories - asylums built for other uses. See [nominatons]

Hanwell asylum
Hi Ianmurray5. Don't know if you have finished your wikibreak and are now participating again. I created this article. Have got some documents regarding this institution including the wards as they where in December 1973 (from staff handbook) and some other things like old minutes from meeting etc. .. which are not yet out of copyright -so can not upload them. Most historically important though is a original copy of the 13th report of the committee of visitors dated 1875 (which is very much out of copyright) This, I would like to be turned into a searchable PDF for to be made available on Amazon books. But I don't have the software applications nor scanning hardware to do this. Do you have any ideas? Have some ideas myself but two heads are better than one. --Aspro (talk) 22:44, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

Newsletter WikiProject Worcestershire
Worcestershire - one of England's oldest and still existing (with some minor boundary changes) ceremonial and political shires, famous for its nearly 1000 year old cathedral, the River Severn, the AONB of the Malvern Hills, some of the oldest schools in the country, England's fastest growing university, apples, pears, cider and cricket, and of course its world famous sauce. The Wikiproject is now in need of some attention. Created 12 years ago, this project amassed a huge resource for editors working on all kinds of articles and categories related in some way or another to the county. Kudpung is more or less retired from Wikipedia getting on for 2 years ago and it would be good if a group of editors could get it up to date and continue to maintain it.
