A fact from Enoch Cobb appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 28 January 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Enoch Cobb left land in his will to be used to raise funds that would benefit public school students of the town of Barnstable, Massachusetts?
The article uses the singular term rather than the plural. Massachusetts towns generally have a board of three or five selectmen. They cannot transact the town's business individually, but only as a result of a vote in a Selectmen's Meeting. I intend to change the article to use the plural term in all places. I was unable to find either the singular or the plural in my viewing of the listed references, but I do notice that Barnstable now appears to have a Town Council instead of a Board of Selectmen. Does anyone know why the singular was used? Snezzy (talk) 02:53, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
