Talk:Mendham Borough, New Jersey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Suburb

A "Manhattan suburb"? Please.

The wording now is NYC suburb, and there's definitely nothing wrong with that

[edit] Page move from Mendham

Before anyone else decides that I have some agenda to push forward, here's why I moved this page from Mendham, New Jersey to Mendham Borough, New Jersey: if you go on the US Census Bureau website, and search for towns named Medham in NJ, you will see that there's actually no town with the name Mendham, New Jersey – only Mendham Borough, New Jersey and Mendham Township, New Jersey. I hope this makes sense for everyone. —lensovet–talk – 17:38, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

The town also refers to itself as Mendham Borough – The Official Web Site of the Borough of Mendham on its website. —lensovet–talk – 02:02, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

The Census is not a reliable source on this; but I agree that Mendham Borough should be disambiguated from Mendham Township. Septentrionalis 23:09, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Just a quick note regarding how the Census lists geographic names: If the word is not capitalized, it is not part of the name, but rather the type of geographic entity. For example Atlantic City is listed by the Census as "Atlantic City city". --Polaron | Talk 23:41, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't care what the census said. The NJ Municipal Data Book and every other source I have seen lists this as Mendham Borough, so capped. If Mendham were unambiguous, we could shorten, as with Red Bank, New Jersey; but it isn't. Septentrionalis 00:08, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
