That explains why there are a bunch of references to websites we can't get at... 76.117.247.55 (talk) 01:04, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Department of Education[edit]

The U.S. Department of Education also issues Dear Colleague letters, but this is not addressed anywhere in the page. Considering that some of those letters have been pretty important, I feel like this is a major oversight, but I don't know enough about Dear Colleague letters in general to create the section. (My knowledge mostly relates to Title IX guidance.) Elium2 (talk) 20:59, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dear colleague letter (United States) → Dear Colleague letter (United States) – There most certainly no consensus by the reliable English media to leave the word "colleague" uncapitalized. "Dear Colleague" is the preferred choice of reliable sources as well as the way the phrase is actually formatted in most "Dear Colleague" letters. Per WP:COMMONNAME, this article should be moved to "Dear Colleague letter (United States)". Mysterymanblue (talk) 02:56, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Strong support per nom and per sources, on this page and the other. This n-gram shows no result for lower-case. I'm saying 'strong' support because of 'oppose' comments at the other RM, upper-case is by far the common name and it's how the letter is addressed by the people who actually use it. Look at the references and sources, the upper-case is uniform. Randy Kryn (talk) 17:08, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  It's being discussed there as well, that's another RM, but this RM is applicable as well. Randy Kryn (talk) 17:08, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
