Teaching Hospital[edit]

If Lankenau is a teaching hospital (which I didn't realize it was), we need to mention with which educational institution it is affiliated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.82.76.44 (talk) 17:48, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"condense, trim spam" edit[edit]

Hi, @Jytdog: Thanks for your attention to this article. I'd like to suggest the restoration of two passages deleted in your last edit:

"The hospital moved to larger facilities at Girard and Corinthian Avenues in North Philadelphia in 1884. In December 1953, Lankenau moved to Wynnewood on the Main Line, occupying the site of the former Overbrook Country Club."
"It is a founding member of Main Line Health, a community-based not-for-profit health system, that also includes Bryn Mawr Hospital, Paoli Hospital, Riddle Hospital, Bryn Mawr Rehabilitation Hospital, Mirmont Treatment Center, and Lankenau Institute for Medical Research."

The former is a bit of history useful to anyone interested in large institutions in 19th-century Philadelphia, for example; while the latter is key context for the Center's place in the Philly-area health ecosystem. PRRfan (talk) 13:47, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, so feel free to be bold and make those changes. Sir Joseph ^(talk) 13:49, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done. PRRfan (talk) 16:12, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is not the website for the medical center. I have removed the spam again. If you retore it again I will nominate mainlinehealth.org for the spam blacklist. Msinline and Lankenau have dumped piles and piles of marketing into WP. Enough already. Jytdog (talk) 16:38, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A SPS for history and name changes is not spam. Lankenau is part of Main Line Health, as a founding hospital and it's perfectly acceptable to have mlh website saying that. Sir Joseph ^(talk) 16:59, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If it is an important event there will be independent sources on it. I have spent three hours over the past couple of days cleaning up the shit employees of mainline and Lankenau have dumped into WP. No more spamming to their website.Jytdog (talk) 17:55, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not looking at other articles, I'm looking at this one. A SPS is valid if it's history of the org and name changes. I fail to see how that is spam. Sir Joseph ^(talk) 17:58, 10 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
