Original History: The old Waverly building was always under construction because of its old nature, construction to build a five- story wooden building began on March 24, 1924 <World>.
Woodhaven Medical Services: "The building was reopened in 1962 as Woodhaven Geriatric Center, a nursing home primarily treating aging patients with various stages of dementia and mobility limits, as well as the severely mentally handicapped. Woodhaven was closed by the state in 1982 allegedly due to patient neglect." News spread that unwilling experiments concerning electric shock treatment for non- existing conditions. It should be added that this center was "understaffed and overcrowded."

The Death Tunnel: The Death Tunnel was an entrance and exit for the workers of the sanatorium. It was built on the first floor with the rest of the building. The corridor is 500 feet to the bottom of the hill and has a set of stairs on one side, which were the stairs used for the workers. On the other side, there was a cart that moved up and down the stair case which transported supplies and other necessities.
Since antibiotics did not exist in the time that the sanatorium was active, other forms of aid were used to cure the TB patients. For example, heat lamps, fresh air, and positive talk and reassurance helped to keep patients alive, since the death rate of a TB patient at the time was one death per day. However, at the peak of the disease the site of the dead being carried away through the tunnel lowered the patient morale, increasing the number of deaths per day. Therefore, the sanatorium tried transporting the dead bodies as secretively as possible to increase the morale and lower the death rates. The doctors and workers of this time also believed that this would help to lower the disease's spreading rate <World>.
New Sections to add...
Waverly Hills Today: The old sanatorium is owned today by private investors who open the historic building up to curious overnight guests and "ghost" tours. The tours inform guests of the building's origin and history.
Rewording...
"The land that is known today as 'Waverly Hill' was purchased by Major Thomas H. Hays in 1883 as the Hays' family home."
Deleting...
I also believe you should get rid of some of the sections towards the end of the article (Statue and Prison) because they distract from the article and are irrelevant to its context.
Pictures...
Adding more pictures of Waverly Hills to the article could help immensely! I see there is a picture of Rio de Janeiro and I don't believe that is appropriate for the article. Sansontm (talk) 05:50, 24 October 2018 (UTC) sansontm

Blog Post #2, Plan of Action: Currently, I think the article is pretty informative for the basics and generics of Waverly Hills Sanatorium. It literally just gives very basic information about the place, its history, etc. I think there could be a lot more information discovered and added to this article. I want to look into researching and finding more facts about Waverly and add them to the page. As a whole, the sources/citations of the article seem legit but I do think I can gather more information from these sources, as a start. I do believe, however, there need to be a lot more historical information gathered. The article states a lot of "people say" rather than stating factual information. I want to dig more into that as well. The talk page has helped the development of the article a lot, even though a majority of the corrections made are from 10+ years ago. I think the edits I will make can help the article immensely!
Blog Post #1, Chosen Topic: I have chosen to look into "Waverly Hills Sanatorium" page.

Hello.
I need help with understanding this article's purpose. The article jumps all over the page starting with the very beginning. The article discusses how jack- o- lanterns are carved/made out of pumpkins or turnips. Then, it jumps down to the bottom of the page to discuss that jack- o- lanterns can be squashes as well. Maybe it is appropriate to say that jack- o - lanterns are most commonly pumpkins but can be the fruits or vegetables as well. The article also mentions a "How to" guide on carving a jack- o- lantern, which from Wikipedia's guidelines, is considered inappropriate to Wiki articles. Possibly that section could be its own separate article?
I read sections and comments of the talk page and other users actually agreed the same with me. There were more spelling errors and such pointed out that I probably missed, but those were the two main issues I found. The other users in the talk section also pointed out adding more information to the different sections of the article, such as in the Origin section. I think what wants to be shown more is the author's sources. Having more information, it seems, would help the article tremendously, according to other users.
