Jack's letter

Please don't read this as me trying to change your mind. I'm not, you've made your !vote and I respect it. But in the letter, the address does not include the "formal" name that's being suggested, it's the Candanian Convalescent Hospital, Woodcote Park, Epson. Note they spelt Epsom wrong! Then they mentioned that "Our camp is just outside London" - so there is a primary source of a soldier in the hospital referring to it as a camp - a term which is so vehemently opposed in the talk page for some reason. Anyway, like I said not intending to change your mind, it is all very interesting to read, if nothing else. Best wishes, Polyamorph (talk) 18:15, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

@Polyamorph: - the point I was making with the letter is that he knows it is a hospital, regardless of how he refers to it later on in the letter. And I also think the article does a great job in making it clear to our readers that it was a Hospital that used to be a temporary military base at Woodcote Park.

Ok. Ive decided to wothdraw the RFC now. Thank you for taking the time to respond! I grew up in the Woodcote area :) Best wishes Polyamorph (talk) 22:21, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

P.S. why is everyone now citing WP:PROPERNAME - it deals with capitalisation, not preference for a "formal" name. Are people really not reading this or am I just completely wrong about that? Polyamorph (talk) 18:59, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Happy Birthday!
