This needs ot be moved to Committee of Correspondence Dunc_Harris|☺ 20:54, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)

No, because there wasn't just one—the article describes all such committees, and so the capitalization that would be used in referring to a specific one is not appropriate for the title. Postdlf 21:16, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)

There WAS a "specific" Committee: the Continental Congressional one (Which was an intelligence committee), so that can go there, and the more general ones can stay here. 68.39.174.39 22:10, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

But the fact is it's a general term by which a series of them were known—they were all intelligence committees and they were all called committees of correspondence, and were probably all designated in capital letters during their time (of course, early American English capitalized seemed to capitalize just about everything in formal writing). But feel free to expand the mention of the Continental Congress committee in this article. Postdlf 02:04, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Article Sources

I came across a page, http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h675.html, that reads remarkably similar to this article. Either that page used this article, or this article used that page. Should it be cited? --Bsdlogical 00:47, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The commitee of correspondence proposed merger

• This other article is primarily about the Virginia committee of correspondence. The history of each state's committee of correspondence is different. The article's scope is also greater than just the topic of the committee of correspondence.
• I would propose: The commitee of correspondence article be renamed the Virginia committee of correspondence, the content which is common to all states be merged into the Committee of Correspondence article, that a sub-section be created in the Committee of Correspondence article with a summary, and a link to the main article, of the Virginia committee of correspondence article.

The article Virginia committee of correspondence was entirely plagiarized. After the offending material was removed the article was reduced to a single sentence. I have removed the link to this article since it is of no value at all as a source of information. Tom (North Shoreman) (talk) 13:28, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
