[edit] Name change

Now that the name change is official, we need to figure out how to handle it. I would like to suggest that we merge much of the historical information in the Toms River, New Jersey article into the Dover Township, New Jersey article. I suggest that we rename Toms River, New Jersey to Toms River CDP, New Jersey, to avoid any confusion as to the two Toms Rivers. Then we need to request a move from Dover Township, New Jersey to Toms River, New Jersey. This should address the issues. The new Toms River article can then be modified to explain the past name of Dover Township. Alansohn 07:14, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

• I did some of it Aspensti 21:00, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
• Revised the old Toms River history to include the history of Dover Twp., Toms River, and an explanation of the name. Trnj2000 16:42, 13 November 2006 (UTC) PS--Does the Toms River CDP page serve any purpose? Can we just delete it?Trnj2000 17:06, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

• • Keep the Toms River CDP article. This is what was Toms River for Census Bureau statistical purposes before the whole township was renamed. There will be very few references to it, but it needs to be retained. Alansohn 20:30, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
