A fact from Seacliff Lunatic Asylum appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 3 July 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Seacliff Lunatic Asylum (pictured) in New Zealand was plagued by landslips, a fatal fire in a locked psychiatric ward and allegations of abuse before reverting to a forest reserve?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2007/July.

ECT

The reference to electroconvulsive therapy in the article is somewhat biased. It is still considered a safe and effective treatment for a variety of psychiatric conditions. --RobbieBurns (talk) 21:46, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Would you disagree that its historical use was problematic? I think that statement in the article can certainly stand - I mean, one of the first words in the electroconvulsive main article is "controversial" and the historical uses will certainly count as that.

I plan to scan and upload some of my personal photos of the site as it appears today to add to the article.--RobbieBurns (talk) 21:50, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Might be interesting - though I understand there's nothing left? Ingolfson (talk) 23:57, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
