Hospital

This should probably be updated since it's 10 years out of date:

A new cancer hospital is due to open in November 2010 on the previous Braemar Hospital campus.

Thanks for bring this to our attention. The old Braemar Hospital was replaced by Lyons Lodge, a facility giving accommodation and support to people receiving cancer treatment. It's not a hospital itself, as far as I can tell. I've removed the sentence from the article.-gadfium 01:51, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bolding

I am not sure what the bolding in the article is about, which is why I am questioning the inclusion of more bolding in different sections of article. Surely it's about certain subject stuff? Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 02:26, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nicknames

Hamhole anyone? I see it as urgent that one of Hamiltons nicknames, well known among the youth, is properly displayed. Proper representation of Hamilton by its residence is of foremost importance. Mackmack11306 (talk) 09:47, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We need a reliable source.-gadfium 18:47, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
