Talk:Charity Organisation Society

Comment

The name of the organisation was the 'Charity Organisation Society' - with an S not a Z. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.245.155.209 (talk) 14:03, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

I'm going through the National Conference on Social Welfare Proceeding from 1874-1920 so I should be able to update sources for this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shadizzel (talk) 02:48, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Mary Richmond should be noted in this article and a page of her own on wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.65.12.130 (talk) 07:44, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Article scope

The current scope of this article appears a bit vague. It jumps from broad international concepts to specific detail of national organisations. It may therefore benefit from edits that constrain it to the general and internationally common principles and history of the COS movement and simply link to separate articles for the respective national organisations. Separate national organisation articles would be more relevant for most of the current article categories as well. Links to notable people associated with the general principles could be retained or added as illustration (e.g. Mary Richmond as a pioneer of formal social work and casework as suggested above) but more nationally-specific content would be better placed elsewhere. As it stands, some of the content relating to Britain's Charity Organisation Society (e.g. the content relating to Alsager Hay Hill) would be better placed in the history section of the modern Family Action charity article, whilst the some of the USA-related content could at least be re-worked to make its geographic and historic context clearer, even if there is no separate article for it to be migrated to. I'm happy to tackle some of this if there is consensus (or apathy! :) --KenBailey (talk) 19:12, 16 December 2021 (UTC)

Spelling?

Organization or Organisation? It was a while ago so we can't make any assumptions, but a Google image search seems to suggest the S spelling, in the UK. Flapdragon (talk) 20:16, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
