only about "vigilance committees" in the United States. So I am not sure what is right: is it a universal term (and therefore this article is wrong to focus only on the US), or is it a specific term in
American history (and therefore this article is wrong to link to other articles about similar subjects). --
540:
The only reference has to do with the West and inline citations are not used. None of the article is properly sourced, so it appears to be POV to classify the KKK or the Black
Panthers as vigilance committees, for instance. I deleted all references to the South during Reconstruction, as recognized
348:
I don't understand enough to comment on the page, but either that the page is totally US-centric without merit; or that the links to other
Wikipedias are wrong. The German version talks about a German phenomenon, the Swedish (I think) about the phenomenon in general (but it is stub) and here it is

There is no citation for this statement, and it is contradicted by reputable sources (see for example "The
Captive's Quest for Freedom" by R.J.M. Blackett). Therefore I am removing it. Edit: I rethought the step of removal. There needs to be an introduction clarifying what is meant by vigilance

historians classify the KKK and later groups as vigilante terrorist and insurgent paramilitary groups. I also deleted unsupported references to the North. The whole article could be deleted as unsourced.

The term gets used by both abolitionists and slaveholders for their activities. So term seems to have had a lot of use long before 1850's when the San
Francisco Vigilance Committee was set up.

An alternate translation of that word "Surveillance" would be "Vigilance" in the same sense of being watchful, and so that's the term used here in related letters from 1793:
