Talk:Battle Creek Sanitarium

But, What Is It?

This article talks a great deal about in what principles the thing is based what what who did, but, amazingly, it does not say "what it is", which is what I wanted to know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.224.139.156 (talk) 12:54, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Names

Why are we using the middle of the three names that this organisation has, why not use the final one and reference the other two. It is most popularly known by its last name, the Battle Creek Sanitarium. Ansell 01:03, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Not sure what you mean by the "middle of the three names", but sanatorium is the spelling Kellogg (and the institution) used, and evidently the somewhat idiosyncratic spelling was deliberately chosen.

Relation to Sanitarium food

There's no link between Battle Creek and Sanitarium Foods. They are not even in the same country. Until more sufficient evidence is placed into the article, I'm removing the link. --Ummel (talk) 15:06, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

For the connection, read here. -- Htra0497 (talk) 04:06, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

..which is now here.

Exhausted beginner, please check work.

I've been working for what seems like hours and it doesn't look like I've done much at all. I've started by sourcing the 2003 dedication. Then details of those named, moved paragraghs, headings, added Depression, U.S. Government, etc. Clearly a heading for Buildings or Structures is needed so I put in the heading with no material, although the Michigan Center for Geographic Information. http://www.mcgi.state.mi.us/hso/sites/3310.htm has some material. I did my first reference and I think it is correct. It looks O.K. to me. I totally agree with Ansell: its weird to use just one, even though best known, name. Does anyone think that since it is now a government complex, after a short spell as an army hospital, that it should also be labeled as a "stub" for that category?

Proposed merge with Hart-Dole-Inouye Federal Center

I propose merging this article with Hart-Dole-Inouye Federal Center, which covers the same building complex, but provides much additional detail about the government uses and architecture of the buildings. Cheers! bd2412 T 04:11, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

I'm inclined to oppose. The current federal center encompasses many more buildings than the sanitarium -- and some portions of what was the sanitarium are gone. Much of the content of the sanitarium article is irrelevant in the context of an article about a current federal center. If a merge were to occur, it should be from the federal center to the sanitarium article. The sanitarium has greater long-term significance. older ≠ wiser 14:27, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Merge is the wrong word I think. There should be one page for the federal center, that contains the information relates to the current building and the history of the complex. As there is an expansive article on the portion of the history relating to the sanitarium, and that is the most historically significant, most of the information related to the history of the sanitarium the information related to buildings that do not exist anymore should be removed from the Federal Center, and a link given to find more information. Also this means that most of the information related to the history of the center before and after the sanitarium opened and closed should refer to the federal center page, until the time that more specific documents are written on this topic.66.146.195.82 (talk) 22:05, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

current site?

Is the large building currently located on the site - at N Washington Ave. and Sanitarium Ave. - the same structure as the 1903 rebuilt sanitarium? Elsquared (talk) 02:53, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
