It seems very odd to run the OTA information.  Many groups have been founded after 'meetings at Great Ormond Street', some more recently and with stronger links to it now.  I would delete this

message: the charity single has been deleted.  GOSH has done many things to fundraise over the years why single this one out.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.135.68.26 (talk) 19:21, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It should not have been deleted. The song was a hit and featured many notable artists. If there are other things done that are notable - add them.--Tuzapicabit (talk) 23:18, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Charity single

message: The comment about 'best funded' has been deleted as it is tendacious.  Great Ormond Street deals with some of the sickest and most complex patients in the NHS.  proceedures such as heart transplants, bone marrow transplants, gene therapy and the like are highly expensive, because they are so highly labour intensive.  current funding systems in the NHS underfund specialist trusts and there have also been significant cuts in research funding.  it is the combination of financial issues that explains why GOSH has not been able to submit a suitable business plan to become a foundation trust.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.135.68.26 (talk) 19:28, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Best funded

message: While I agree with Rangoon11 that the info about One Direction was somewhat trivial, how is it different from the other events also included, eg Arsenal, X Factor, Channel 4's Comedy Gala, etc? I'm sure GOSHCC benefits from many events every year, so why single out these few? --Stelmaris (talk) 08:05, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

message: I know the Daily Mail are considered unreliable, however I provided the source as the article provides a photo of the letters of GOSH being shown at the Olympic ceremony, and the article stating it was referencing the hospital.
I know Wikipedia don't like the Daily Mail but even they would not lie about something being in the ceremony when billions of people worldwide watched the ceremony.
Wikipedia sometimes suffers a "rules are more important than common sense" problem.
Also I provided other sources to back it up.

thread_title:  Use of Daily Mail as a Ref for GOSH appearing in the Olympic Ceremony 

message: My God, an article about GOSH that doesn't describe the medical innovations created at the hospital -- and doesn't even mention the word "heart". This is one of the major research hospitals in the world, and they've saved the lives of more children around the world than I can count. This is more important than the chapel or the fundraising drives. 
I don't have time now to find WP:RS secondary sources, but I'm going to use the following summary from their own web site. Ideally I'll replace it with a proper history from Pubmed, although I would welcome anybody else who wants to beat me to it. 
The hospital is the largest centre for child heart surgery in the UK and one of the largest centres for heart transplantation in the world. In 1962 they developed the first heart and lung bypass machine for children. With children's book author Roald Dahl, they developed an improved shunt valve for children with water on the brain (hydrocephalus), and non-invasive (percutaneous) heart valve replacements. They did the first UK clinical trials of the rubella vaccine, and the first bone marrow transplant and gene therapy for severe combined immunodeviciency.[Breakthroughs http://www.gosh.nhs.uk/about-us/our-history/breakthroughs]

message: Was researching GOSH for a uni project and can't believe how little information, and how generally oddly written, this article is. Almost nothing substantial. Briefly mentions that the chapel was moved (?!) in the 1980s but no other information on what happened to the rest of the hospital? 148.88.244.178 (talk) 20:10, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
