Whispyhistory and Philafrenzy, I objected to the hook that was edited in prep because (1) it is 196 characters long and (2) the part that seemed hooky, about the air raids, was moved to the very end. I wonder if we could work out a new hook and I'll substitute it in Prep 2.
Here is the original promotion:
Here is the revised hook:
I could understand how someone might get confused about the "her hospital" wording–i.e. that she was the owner. One idea is to change "on her hospital" to "at a hospital" in the first hook. I added some details from the source to the article, and would like to suggest this alt:

Have only just noticed the kind and unexpected QPQ for Willard H. George. Much appreciated. Edwardx ( talk) 11:38, 10 July 2019 (UTC) |
Whispyhistory--
Thank you for your updates to article "The Unsafe Asylum". You picked up on a number of things that needed work and you improved on the spelling, the style and the flow. So thank you for your additions.
This "thank you" is really my main message. However, I will add that I disagree with your additions of hyperlinks, with one exception. I think that linking to "Folie a Deux" is helpful, but not the others. For example, I don't see what benefit there is in linking to "navel". I assume that readers will know what a navel is, and I don't think this adds anything to the article, rather it introduces a (granted, very minor) kind of hiccup to the text. Similarly, I don't see the improvement in linking to "mental health" or "communal riots/religious violence". I'm not going to make any changes, but I wanted to at least state my opinion.

Whispyhistory--
Thank you for your updates to article "The Unsafe Asylum". You picked up on a number of things that needed work and you improved on the spelling, the style and the flow. So thank you for your additions.
This "thank you" is really my main message. However, I will add that I disagree with your additions of hyperlinks, with one exception. I think that linking to "Folie a Deux" is helpful, but not the others. For example, I don't see what benefit there is in linking to "navel". I assume that readers will know what a navel is, and I don't think this adds anything to the article, rather it introduces a (granted, very minor) kind of hiccup to the text. Similarly, I don't see the improvement in linking to "mental health" or "communal riots/religious violence". I'm not going to make any changes, but I wanted to at least state my opinion.

Bibliography of Ebola can be expanded with key research papers, WHO treatment publications etc. Philafrenzy ( talk) 11:04, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
This can be expanded gradually as you have time. There is a Helen Bynum book as I am sure you know. All the entries need to have already been identified as further reading in a RS about TB to avoid accusations of original research. These were from JISC. Feel free to add or rename sections.
