[edit] Cefn Mably

Hiya. I saw your new article. I have added a few references, and -- sorry! -- removed some of the speculation. Material about "they say that ex-patients burnt it down" isn't really usable unless we have a written reference to someone (credible) doing the saying. One thing I am curious about, though: when you wrote the article, you described it as a mental hospital. The references I am finding online are all in agreement that it began as a TB sanatorium. That's fine: both sanatoria and asylums tended to be well outside cities in their own grounds. So I was expecting to find a reference to a change of function later. But I can't find any mention of psychiatric patients. There's an obituary of the medical superintendent on the web, and he was a chest physician. There are also comments in mailing list archives about it being a general hospital into the seventies. I did find mention of a journal which has a history of the hospital in it, and it looks like the local library will have a copy -- but alas, the library is closed due to the strike, so that will have to wait a little. But are you sure it was a psychiatric hospital? I can see from your user name that you're local to the place, but I must confess, I'm getting rather unsure about what kind of hospital it was.

One other little thing: you are making lots of very small edits in rapid succession, and not using the "edit summary" box (the box underneath the editing window), resulting in ten edits to the same page in half an hour. If you just want to see how something looks, you can use the Preview button (next to the Save page button). Much tidier :)

Anyway, there you are. Please don't be put off by what I have removed! As some sort of fair exchange, I did find some references for you :) And welcome to Wikipedia. If you want more local articles to edit, there is an entire Category:Cardiff you might be interested in, or more general Wales things over at Portal:Wales and WP:WWNB, the Welsh Wikipedians' noticeboard.
