Talk:New Jersey

Edit request on 2 January 2012

Why not add 'Newark' to the list of cities that "helped drive the Industr1al Revolution", after all it is probably the most important one.

Why is there nothing about Hurricane Sandy on this page? 63.3.2.130 (talk)

Garden State

The author(s) of the article completely missed the meaning of "the garden state". From earliest America and on New Jersey had a booming farming output which New York / City relied on - and thus New Yorkers nick named it so - it had nothing to do with "dress up" gardening (but allot to do with botanics).

Factories in the 1900's

And still. This article focuses highly on military installations, gardens, and drugs. However in the 1900's New Jersey was a Flush with factories making near everything American's sought (tooth brushes, etc), a fact easy to see as many old buildings are still standing. These were hopping in the 1970's era. By or in the late 19[90]'s many of the small factories closed due to imports etc. However New Jersey still has a strong and proud product making community.

Music

I think the list of musicians with ties to New Jersey can be moved to Music of New Jersey or become its own stand alone list. What we really need is a paragraph on New Jersey music for this article. The only reason I have not boldly removed the list of musicians from this article is that I do not yet have a paragraph to replace it. I don't know if anyone else has interest in throwing something together. Knope7 (talk) 17:29, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

My suggested change is to add Speedwell Ironworks to the section " National Parks, Monuments, and Historic Landmarks " because Speedwell Ironworks receives an operating grant from the state of New Jersey for being a Historic Site. IanElsa (talk) 17:49, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

 Done. Good suggestion. oknazevad (talk) 18:12, 1 April 2019 (UTC)

The Wikpiedia page for New Jersey shows the wrong area (square miles) for New Jersey and doesn't show any sorce for the (incorrect) area that is shown. According to the State of New Jersey's official webpage, New Jersey has a total area of 8,204.37 square miles. Here is the link: https://nj.gov/nj/about/facts/fastfacts/

• The source is the US Census Bureau's 2010 Census of Population and Housing on page 41. Reference is in the linked List of U.S. states and territories by area. All 50 states use this source, as far as I know. I couldn't tell you how the Federal Government and the State of New Jersey don't agree on this. --Michael Greiner 23:16, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
