Talk:Hospital for Sick Children (Toronto)

message: Why is there absolutely not mention of the baby deaths and the controversy surrounding Susan Nelles?  The incident was a huge, if distasteful, part of the history of SickKids  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.193.128.193 (talk) 13:34, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. Looks like that was removed by Jphillips23 on 20:37, 16 July 2010. It is relevant to the article. The article is here ==> Toronto Hospital Murders. Perhaps some content can be returned or the event mentioned and linked?  --9Doors (talk) 04:44, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I've reinserted the 1984 Grange inquiry into the "history" timeline for 1980-81, the time of the various deaths. These are not proven to be murders but the events and subsequent inquiry are nonetheless a significant event in the history of the hospital. K7L (talk) 00:20, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: The

message: The SickKids name is not the official hospital name, although the Hospital does use that frequently on its website and that is the name it is frequently referred to in Toronto. I am changing the article usage to Hospital for Sick Children since people from all over could be reading the article. Flyguy649talkcontribs 04:56, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia standard is to use the common name, not necessarily the official name. Otherwise we'd use Dominion of Canada, not just Canada. GreenJoe 05:21, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Dominion of Canada is not the country's name any more, so that's a false argument. SickKids is jargony, and not formal (or enclopedic) in tone. Although the hospital has been promoting itself as that for about 3 years now, the name of the hospital is "The Hospital for Sick Children". A qhick glance at Princess Margaret Hospital (Toronto), Toronto General Hospital, St. Michael's Hospital (Toronto), and Mount Sinai Hospital (Toronto) shows that only TGH uses the acronym exclusively within the body of the text. I'd like to discuss this more. However, I am going to revert your changes to restore the other edits to the article which have been removed, while keeping the SickKids bit.

replies: text: Legally, if you read the Constitution, it's still Dominion of Canada, but common usage has changed to just "Canada." See also Wikipedia:Naming conventions (common names). GreenJoe 05:50, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually WP:NC(CN) refers to the naming of articles, not usage within the article. (Should we move the page to SickKids? Of course not.) And The Constitution Act, 1982 does not refer to the Dominion of Canada at all, but only Canada, so this is the de facto legal name. But this is largely irrelevant here. On local news, the first instance of mention of the Hospital is always to the full name. They do often also use SickKids. The article clearly defines SickKids. While I prefer the full name within the article, it's not critical to the article. Flyguy649talkcontribs 06:16, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If you want to be pedantic, the official name is The Hospital for Sick Children (note the leading, capitalized "The", which is part of the name). SickKids is also officially used by the institution now, although previously it was simply jargon.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rwintle (talk • contribs) 20:23, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: If you want to be even more pedantic, WP:THE. There's a policy for just about anything here. K7L (talk) 00:23, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  SickKids 

message: In its present form this article makes a very bad usage of the term genetic code. The genetic codes of humans, monkeys, rats and many other very distantly related living organisms are all absolutely identical. What the well intentioned editors wanted to mean instead of genetic code was probably genome. Please correct if I am right, and please explain if I am wrong. -- Sophos II (talk) 23:31, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I took out the section. This article isn't about genetics, its about the Hospital for Sick Children. It would be nice to have some more material about recent research activities, but this section is a rather bad paraphrase of a Reuter's article.  Reuters, One man's genes show DNA is still a mystery  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dhodges (talk • contribs) 03:14, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Inappropriate usage of ''[[genetic code]]'' 

message: I rated the article "Start" class today for WP Canada and Toronto.  I also changed the rating for WP Medicine from B to C - I don't believe this is a B class article yet, I don't believe the article is complete enough for a "C" rating, but I can accept it because I briefly thought about it for the other projects.  Other editors may feel free to adjust to their tastes.  PKT 14:39, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
