Image:MiddletownCTseal1.jpg 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 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 04:31, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Regarding the statement about settlers "purchasing" Native American lands, I'm not sure the word "purchase" does justice to the complexity of the issue and therefore may be deceptive. -- Pgagnon999 ( talk) 05:07, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

A certain user has deleted correct information and posted politically biased information in this article.
These are all in the first three paragraphs on the history of the town.
Paragraph 1.
The original town name of Middletown was spelled "Mattabeseck", this can be seen in the records of the general Assembly of Connecticut, which were QUOTED in this article until the ignorant and unscrupulous poster deleted the reference. This is significant in that southwestern Algonquin was spoken with a much harder inflection on the consonants, ---and Mattabeseck is a southwestern Algonquin town.
Paragraph 2.
Quotations about Puritan life in general are irrelevant in this article.
Paragraph 3.
William Cronin is not a reliable source for local detail in Connecticut. Cronin's highly inflammatory accounts of the history of the settlement of America is very controversial, and has been shown to be very factually inaccurate and unreliable. It was very popular as a piece of political argument, and very poor historical scholarship.
That this article MUST include this kind of erroneous detail is unfortunate. That the systems and procedures that define Wikipedia are not able to withstand this kind of assault from the politically-minded and ignorant marks the limitation of Wikipedia's usefulness. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.133.124.203 ( talk) 03:50, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Irrelevant material removed, correct citations provided. Start your hostile attacks now, Pgagnon999. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.133.124.199 ( talk) 23:38, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Pgagnon999 has used a sock puppet to remove cited material. Cited material replaced. Do not delete previously sourced material regardless of your personal opinion of it. Doing so is contrary to the spirit and policy of Wikipedia. This user has a history of hostility and stalking in wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.133.124.199 ( talk) 02:41, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
"then called Methodist Wesleyan": any basis for this? I doubt it, and I've read Potts's history of Wesleyan. He says it was originally "the Wesleyan University" and I see know reason to doubt him. - Jmabel | Talk 22:14, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
I am pretty sure that Middletown no longer offers free public wifi in the downtown. If so, I can no longer find it. 98.172.148.130 ( talk) 20:39, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

In my family history I found my grandfather's brother went to the USA his name was John Thomas Heppenstall, he had 3 sons Athur, Joseph and Howard Philip. It would be great if anyone in Middletown knows of the family name. Thank You. 86.132.100.121 ( talk) 08:42, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
