Fair use rationale for Image:NorwichCTseal.gif

Image:NorwichCTseal.gif 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 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.

Split into a new article: Neighborhoods of Norwich, Connecticut

Some editor or editors have done fine work in the extensive Neighborhoods section, but that section has gotten so huge that it's overwhelming the rest of the article. I see someone slapped a tag to the top of that section suggesting a split into a new article, but nobody's commented on it. Let me be the first. Many other cities in Connectictut and elsewhere have articles for individual neighborhoods, although I don't recommend that unless adequate sources are available for each new article. In this case, for space reasons, we need the split now and shouldn't wait for new sourcing. Noroton 20:13, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see it's been split off (Neighborhoods of Norwich, Connecticut. Thanks. Noroton 01:58, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What do you guys think? 76.102.31.185 (talk) 22:37, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lame entry above. Yet what about these assertions from article? "Today, Norwich is a thriving city with a stable population, wide range of municipal services, a modern industrial park, its own utility company, and a positive outlook for residential and business growth." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.41.165.158 (talk) 17:43, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ever incorporated as a township?

If so, on what date?

76.102.31.185 (talk) 22:37, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Norwich was accepted as a legal township by Connecticut Colony in 1662. Before the establishment of the State of Connecticut, there was no formal incorporation process. --Polaron | Talk 04:16, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation?

Is the city pronounced "Norritch", as in the original English one, or is it pronounced "Nor-witch"? 81.153.107.73 (talk) 17:02, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The latter. I'm a local myself. —JJ Be rs 14:39, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You mean "Nor-witch" like the original English one? or "Nor-ritch" like the English mispronounce it these days? The former. — LlywelynII 16:17, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

History

Probably worth mentioning at least a few people believe Norwich is the home of the world's first sneaker. — LlywelynII 16:17, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
