I am thinkin that the first letter of the word "theater" within the wiki title "Southern theater of the American Revolutionary War" should be capitalized... Theater.4.129.69.126 17:04, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

I don't think so. Per WP:TITLE, only proper nouns in the title should be capitalized. The term "Southern Theater" when used to describe part of the Revolutionary War has not gained the stature of a proper noun—it's just a description. While it's true that it's not always clear what is and is not a proper noun with regard to military names, it seems to me that this falls in the "not" category. —Kevin 17:23, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Total rewrite, 22.2.2007

Revamped the entire article, added references and an expanded bibliography. Shout if there are any questions about the rewrite. Rockfall 17:43, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Reference: There is a claim in the "Second Attack on Charleston" section that it was the biggest surrender of American troops until the Civil War. While this is probably true, I cannot find a refernce to support it. If anyone could, that would be appreciated! Rockfall 13:43, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Done. Feel free to add the {{fact}} template to any other claims you can't verify, and I'll see if I can track down a source, since I wrote the original, bare bones draft. —Kevin 15:43, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Brillaint, wasn't aware of that tag, will make more use of it when I work on the second half of the article. Thanks for the help! Rockfall 16:14, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
