This is followed by the reference to the blog you added. That blog doesn't say that. In fact it doesn't mention the term "Royal Naval Hospital". I think you are trying to conflate 2 different ideas into one slightly less well-formed ideas. There is no doubt that the hospitals were part of the Medical Service. But they are/were not a service. They were bricks and mortar facilities and that is what the article is about. If I could understand what you are trying to say, I would edit it, but I can't because it is not clear what youy are trying to say. As it stands, it is simply nonsense as written. I'm happy for you to have a go to make it make sense. But if you don't I will revert to lede to it's original form and move the reference to service issues into the body.

This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:
As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement. The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also. The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now. For the Milhist co-ordinators.

While you are welcome to re-use licensed content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original author(s). When copying from other compatibly-licensed web pages, please at minimum mention in an edit summary at the new page where you got the content and add a citation. It's also a good idea to place a note on the article along with your citation. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied licensed material before, even if it was a long time ago, please go back and provide attribution.

Winning percentage in Grand SlamsHello Navops47, You're not right. In the year 2016 Federer has won 83% of his Grand-Slam Matches not 75%, and from 2003-2012 and 2014-2017 are 14 years. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JS8 (talk • contribs) 08:28, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
Hi, what I mean are the Grand-Slam Matches of the season, and this season is over. The record you've added is listed under the Grand-Slam section, not the overall season. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JS8 (talk • contribs) 13:45, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
Tournament of ChampionsHi Navops47 There is much new information on the Tournament of Champions. First, the 1956 L.A. event was not a TOC, but rather the inaugural L.A. Masters, as the L.A. newspapers make clear. Second, in addition to the 1957, 1958, 1959 TOC at Forest Hills, there were Australian TOC events at Sydney White City in 1957, at Kooyong Melbourne in 1958 (the richest tournament of the era), and probably Sydney again in 1959 (according to McCauley). A total of six events. The Forest Hills TOC events were broadcast nationally in the U.S.A. by CBS television network, the only pro tournament in the U.S.A. to achieve this status. For the 1959 Forest Hills TOC, there is an error in the score for the Hoad//Rosewall match, which was a best-of-five set match. The final set should be 6-4 for Hoad, but there is now a blank in the space for a fourth set. I refer to McCauley for this. Thank you, 64.229.34.169 (talk) 20:25, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
McCauley was wrong about the 1956 L.A. event being the TOC, and unfortunately McCauley does not always give citations of his sources. Recently, some correspondents of mine have searched local L.A. newspapers of the time and found that the 1956 event was clearly labeled L.A. Masters, the first of a long list. McCauley on p. 98 of his book reports that the Sydney event in December, 1959 was labeled the TOC, and I have seen in a film clip that the 1957 Sydney event was also labeled TOC. A correspondent of mine has searched Melbourne newspapers from the time of the Kooyong event Jan. 22-27, 1958, which advertise the Kooyong event as TOC. The information about the television coverage of Forest Hills TOC comes from newspapers of the time, showing a national television broadcast on CBS, with a blackout for the New York City area. Personally, I was unaware of this coverage for many years, as I relied upon the N.Y. Times as my source, which did not show any television coverage of the Forest Hills TOC. Now, it appears that was due to a local blackout. The pro tournaments in L.A. and Cleveland are shown in newspaper reports as having only local television coverage in that era. Only Forest Hills received national television broadcast. The involvement of Ampol was hugely important. In 1958, Ampol sponsored the two big Australian tournaments in January at Sydney and Melbourne, the Melbourne TOC event was the largest in terms of prize money at 10,000 GBP, an amount not exceeded for a pro tournament in the pre-open era. This information was found in newspapers by a correspondent in another forum. Most importantly, Ampol sponsored a world championship tennis tournament series in 1959 for the Kramer pros, consisting of 16 events, 10 of which were in Australia, and including 2 more in U.S.A. (L.A. Masters and Forest Hills TOC), Toronto, Roland Garros, Wembley, and South Africa. McCauley reports the results of this world championship on P.97, referring to a statement by Anderson in World Tennis magazine. However, McCauley's detailed scores in his appendix are confused about the scope of this Ampol tour, giving them in two unrelated stages, and not including the non-Australian events. A correspondent of mine has detailed coverage from Australian newspapers, culminating with the Kooyong tournament from Dec. 25, 1959 to January 2, 1960, when the championship prize money and trophy were awarded. This year long Ampol tour, which lasted from January 1959 to Jan. 2, 1960, is worthy of a separate page. ArbCom 2017 election voter messageHello, Navops47.

Each year we do this by bestowing two awards: the Military Historian of the Year and the Military History Newcomer of the Year. The co-ordinators invite all project members to get involved by nominating any editor they feel merits recognition for their contributions to the project. Nominations for both awards are open between 00:01 on 2 December 2017 and 23:59 on 15 December 2017. After this, a 14-day voting period will follow commencing at 00:01 on 16 December 2017. Nominations and voting will take place on the main project talkpage: here and here. Thank you for your time.

You presumably have a detailed knowledge of naval organisation, but I trust that as an experienced editor you understand that verifiability is a fundamental pillar of Wikipedia, and that it is important that readers can see which published reliable sources support which parts of an article text.
