Talk:List of United States House of Representatives committees

Removing relinks

I copied this from Wikipedia:Featured list removal candidates/List of United States House committees:

…[W]e might consider removing some of the links which currently do not have articles. I realize we're giving people access to "the sum of all human knowledge" or however the dogma goes, but I wonder how much relevant and interesting material there is for the page about the United States House Resources Subcommittee on National Parks or who in their right mind would bother trying to type United States House Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Treasury, and Housing and Urban Development, The Judiciary, District of Columbia into that little box. :) --Vedek Dukat Talk 05:02, 25 March 2006 (UTC) The difficulty is that a few of the subcommittees do have pages: removing the links to the others looks a bit selective, to game the criteria. -- ALoan (Talk) 09:53, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

I also disagree. These committees did exist, and obsolete committees are often referenced (linked) from articles about Representatives. For example about Rep. Blahblahblah served as chair of the United States House Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Treasury, and Housing and Urban Development, The Judiciary, District of Columbia. At worst, we should Redirect those committee articles to the committee to which its jurisdiction was transferred. —Markles 18:05, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

As far as I know, the ones listed here are the current committees and sub-committees, some of which still don't have articles. The defunct ones are listed elsewhere, at United_States_Congressional_committee#Defunct_Committees. -- ALoan (Talk) 18:34, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Special Committees... Two or three?

The header section of this article says there are two special committees. Yet in the table, there are three committees listed. Simple fix? --Petercorless (talk) 18:42, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Updates needed

I noticed Jo Ann Davis is still listed as a subcommittee chair. She was my Representative but has been dead for over a year. I'll change that one, but I wonder how many other updates need to be made. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.225.155.60 (talk) 18:46, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

cacusus

should we list caucasus here? or is there a page fo r it?(Lihaas (talk) 16:34, 30 December 2010 (UTC)).

See Caucuses of the United States Congress. Caucuses are not on the same level as committees. Even though they are formed under the rules of the House, they have "no separate corporate or legal identity." A lot of the one's listed are redlinks, since each caucus handles how it publishes its membership/interests/positions differently.DCmacnut<> 17:12, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Format

I just changed the format of the Select committee to make something that's simpler and easier on the eyes. I suggest using this for the standing committees and the Senate article, too. Bur first, I welcome comments and recommendations.—Markles 13:50, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

For just the single select committee, it words, but my thought would be that going too a text-based format will make the article practically unreadable. 20 committees plus subcommittees makes for a pretty crowded list. The table format is easier on the eyes and more legible, I think.DCmacnut<> 04:05, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Edit request

Please update the article because Some of the chair persons and ranking members of the committees and subcommittees changed positions or are no longer members of the 114th House of Representatives. I cannot find all of it and some of it includes Steve Chabot of Ohio, Jon Runyan of New Jersey, Thomas Petri of Wisconsin, George Miller of California, Henry Waxman of California, Michael Michaud of Maine, Rush D. Holt of New Jersey, Nick Rahall of West Virginia.114.24.44.173 (talk) 14:08, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

• Is the page protected? Is there a reason why you can't edit it? Be Bold!—GoldRingChip 14:13, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

With the 116th Congress convening today (January 3, 2019) all committees now have Democratic Chairs and Republican Ranking Members--and not necessarily just swaps from 2018 roles. Is someone already planning to make these updates to the page?Jmill859 (talk) 22:15, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

Current

Why (@Muboshgu:) were these list articles renamed without "current"? —GoldRingChip 17:32, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

GoldRingChip, because of MOS:CURRENTLY and WP:PRECISELANG, which I linked to in my move rationale. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:20, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

Oh, I see. But I'm not sure those rules support your moves. For example, "One exception to this is in articles that are regularly updated." (WP:PRECISELANG). Also, they seem to be about language in articles, not titles of articles. Also these three articles are pursposefully supposed to only be current. What do you think? —GoldRingChip 19:43, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

I think the meaning of the page title, or of template titles or article text where I've removed it, is the same without the word "current" or "currently", so it's an improvement in brevity regardless of MOS. I take "regularly updated" to be Portal:Current events. These pages are updated, but only when there are changes, which to me is not "regular". – Muboshgu (talk) 03:33, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

116th Congress Updates

I have updated most Chairs and ranking members for the 116th congress. I could not find there the Republicans have appointed a chair to the homeland security committee, but I will keep searching. BlueRaider615 —Preceding undated comment added 17:13, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

BlueRaider615 I'm pretty sure its John katko. User:Lovin'Politics

history of ranking members

even as there is not official record of ranking members, should we add them on the individual committees like the House Committee on Financial Services. ~~User:Lovin'Politics (talk)

Don't add anything without a reliable source. That's an absolute requirement on Wikipedia. Sundayclose (talk) 20:52, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

house armed services subcommittee on cyber

I think the link goes to a wrong place, but I can't seem to change it

Some committee assignments appear off

Current Ranking Member of the Immigration and Citizenship Subcommittee of the Judiciary Committee in the House per the subcommittee's website is Ken Buck, not Tom McClintock as is listed.

Looking for committees from 117th Congress

I'm looking for an article that enumerates the committees of prior congresses, but I have a feeling there aren't any.

Looks like this article only lists the committees of the current congress.

Not sure if this was the original intention or not, but that's what we've got. CmdrDan (talk) 19:07, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
