Suggestion from 131.122.44.70 (moved from the main page by CapeCodEph 05:40, 28 January 2006 (UTC)):
PLEASE INCLUDE THE WING FORTHOUSE, BUILT IN 1641. HOME OF STEPHEN WING AND NOW OPEN TO THE PUBLIC (maintained by the Wing Family of America)
How is the neutrality of the article disputed? All I see is a request to include information about a historic site. How is that disputing the neutrality?

[edit] History source?
Okay, that history section was obviously lifted directly from somewhere. Anyone know where, so it can be cited? ToddC4176 03:28, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Sandwich town motto
Recently an edit to the word "Naufracia" in the article's rendition of the town motto was undone by "Ajd". The reasoning for the undo was..."more likely that the image of the town seal is low-resolution than that the town motto contains a misspelled Latin word. "Naufragia" is correct." I would suggest that edits should be undone only on the basis of thorough research rather than "more likely". Although the spelling with a "g" is correct modern Latin, the town of Sandwich chose to use the ancient Latin spelling with a "c". My family has resided in the town of Sandwich since it's founding in 1637, being directly descended from both Edmond Freeman and Benjamin Nye. We are quite familiar with the history of the town seal, the motto and the correct spelling of the Latin used therein. One can refer to "Sandwich, A Cape Cod Town" by R.A. Lovell, jr. or simply visit the Sandwich town hall to confirm that "Naufracia" is the correct spelling.Sandfree (talk) 15:35, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Us-masdw2.jpeg
Image:Us-masdw2.jpeg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
