In hospital
Google tends to disagree with you. 83 million hits for "in hospital". "In the hospital" refers to a single specific hospital. In hospital connotes the state of being in a hospital. --Tagishsimon (talk) 01:29, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I've not seen the term "in hospital" used like this before. For the 83 million hits on Google, the vast majority are news article titles, which are not good examples of proper grammar considering they regularly drop articles you wouldn't otherwise. From the first ten pages of the Google results, the only results (with one exception on page 9) that actually use the term in the body of the article are British English sources, almost all of which are the exact same sentence regarding an incident with Prince Phillip. Perhaps it is common in British English? I think I've found an acceptable alternative with "was often hospitalized". Either way. If it isn't grammatically sound, reviewers in GA and/or FA will note it. I just go with what sounds right to me. ❇  Zoë Alkaia  ❇  01:59, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Good compromise; thanks. It certainly is common UK English parlance, but Otis was not from around these parts... --Tagishsimon (talk) 02:10, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
 * No problem. Thank you for discussing it with me. :) ❇  Zoë Alkaia  ❇  02:13, 29 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for doing the Otis copyedit. Care to rate the article's Class? C or B? --Tagishsimon (talk) 03:52, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh, yes! I was meaning to do that went I saw it was a "stub" according to the little dingus under the title. I'll do that now. ❇  Zoë Alkaia  ❇  03:59, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Yup. The "stub" was the result of a hissy fit on the part of one of the contributors. So it goes. --Tagishsimon (talk) 04:01, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited Dionicio Gustavo, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages 2006 Pan American Championship and 2000 Pan American Championship (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.
