[1] has a fullish list of lord wardens, to be transferred

Why is the title of this article Cinque Port instead of Cinque Ports? RickK 02:01 3 Jul 2003 (UTC)
Could we have a translation of the rights listed in the quotation, please? - Montréalais
Is there a reason to use antient vs ancient? 96.20.164.139 ( talk)
Exemption from taxation and the right to levy tolls; the authority to detain and execute felons both inside and outside the Ports' jurisdiction; power to claim wreckage off the shore or goods thrown overboard; these were privileges granted to the Cinque ports, along with the right of assembly as a Guild, which gave the confederation the authority to act in such matters.
This is redundent, bring listed above in the translation, and awkwardly worded here to boot. Kd5mdk 13:01, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Another thing puzzles me a bit: the charter is said to lead to piracy; yet it seems a pretty common city rights' charter to me. Do all city charters lead to piracy? Renke 17:15, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
The pronunciation is as "sank" not "sink" Cokehabit ( talk) 03:29, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Why is it Cinque not Cinq? Was this the French spelling at the time? 81.148.252.177 ( talk) 09:52, 16 August 2010 (UTC) Lisa Payne, Coventry, UK
I believe this format to be appropriate because the first thing any reader wants to know is "What are they?". It is frustrating to have to hunt about for the answer to such an obvious question. They have recently been promoted to the intro. for this reason, but they should also be in bold because of their central import to the article. If it is not accepted that they should be bullet points, this appears inconsistent with the Antient Towns & Limbs which are so listed, and would appear to give the latter prominence. ( Lobsterthermidor ( talk) 16:47, 30 January 2011 (UTC))
The article mentions Saxon Authority ('Decline'), and that Danish raids may have been (or may mistakenly been thought to have been) responsible for the decline in importance of the cinque ports. But the article elsewhere suggests that the authority of the ports wasn't established until 1155 - long after the Saxons had any power to delegate. Have I misunderstood, or does the history section need correcting/clarifying? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.243.36.142 ( talk) 19:16, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
The town of Seaford in E. Sussex has the words "CINQUE PORT" emblazoned on all the signs at the borders of the town, yet isn't mentioned here. Explanation? 109.153.242.10 ( talk) 17:52, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

The website http://www.cinqueports.org/ suggests that apart from the 7 main ports, there were some 23 "limbs" of which 7 had charters and were referred to as "corporate members". These 7 are listed (together with Brightlingsea, which was a limb but not a Corporate Member) as the _only_ limbs. That website does purport to be the official site for the Confederation of Cinque Ports, so please review the article or explain why it should remain as is. 188.29.117.112 ( talk) 18:34, 12 August 2012 (UTC)TallPaul.
Youghal was made a "petty limb of the Cinque Ports of/in Ireland" in 1462. As detailed in Talk:Cinque Ports in Ireland, I don't know what that means. Any input would be appreciated. jnestorius( talk) 09:51, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
Can someone add when Rye changed status from "Antient town" to full Cinque port. I presume sometime after great storm of 1297. Also did New Romney then lose its status or change to Limb or Antient Town i.e. are there now 6 Cinque Ports — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.31.202.145 ( talk) 15:01, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

Have found source dating this to 1322: corroborative evidence from elsewhere would not go amiss, however. Jacobisq ( talk) 09:20, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
