I'll take a look. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 09:41, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Fox classified the patients at Brislington House.. - would prefer a different verb to "classified" - maybe "sorted"?

I think the key point is that he thought the different classes (which were very narrowly defined) should be treated differently - hence the different blocks. I've changed classified to divided but I think it needs to be stronger than sorted as this was a key component of the way the place worked, and even the design of the building.— Rod ^talk 20:05, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, divided is better. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:22, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

WRT comprehensiveness, the segment about Perceval and the book is interesting. If there is anything more specific to Brislington House in the book it'd be good to add - any more of his reflections etc.

I've not been able to identify anything further. He was complaining/campaigning about mental health care in general in the era & used Brislington House as an example as he had been a patient there.— Rod ^talk 20:05, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Fair enough Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:22, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Ditto the one line on Frank Miles - a bit tantalisingly chopped-off - any extra info would be good.

I did have a bit more ie " He was cared for by his brother, the clergyman Charles Oswald Miles, but died in 1891 of what was diagnosed as 'general paralysis of the insane', often a term for neurosyphilis, exhaustion and pneumonia." but this was removed at DYK review as I could find any sources to support it.— Rod ^talk 20:05, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

ok. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:22, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Infobox

The info box here, is running down through four sections (I have a wide screen too); that is surely too much. Can it not be condensed n some way?  Giano  19:30, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

Yes it is rather long, isn't it? Hmmm - these days it is also tricky with everyone having monitors of all different shapes and sizes....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:10, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

I should think without a wide screen, it must be going off under the desk and heading into town.  Giano  21:16, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

As you may know I am generally in favour of infoboxes, adding them to all articles I create if possible, as they provide quick access to information which may be what some readers are after. However taking onboard your comments and recognising that this particular one is very long (due to the different structures having separate listsings) I have used Template:Collapsed infobox section begin to shorten it. What do others think?— Rod ^talk 09:35, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Much better! 100 times better in fact.  Giano  18:23, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Wow, I've been here all these years and never knew there was a handy thing to do that so I can make the infobox spring in and out like an accordion! Nice/I like it. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:37, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Casliber? Where have you been? Some of us have been trying to pioneer the collapsed info box for years. 21:09, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
