Talk:Toms River, New Jersey

message: 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)

message: I wondering why you chose only to list ferryman Thomas Luker as a potential source of the name of the name Toms River.  The official website for the town of Toms River list both Luker and Captain William Toms.  This has been a historic debate for a long time, and I have seen arguments both ways.  In the nineteenth century, the NJ Historic Society said it was named after Capt. Toms.  More recently, Ocean County historian Pauline Miller said it was named after Luker. I think both should be listed.
I used Pauline Miller because it was the best sourced information, but go for it. 69.140.147.164 (talk) 04:10, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

message: An experienced editor should look into these matters. There is nothing to back them up, and from what I understand, isn't that wikipedia's main concern. The truth is that the first three Amityville Films were made in Toms River. As far as Jersey Shore, possibly. As far as boardwalk empire, I don't know. I will find articles to verify the Amityville claims, but the rest are un-verifiable. As far as the cancer cluster and Ciba Geigy's chemical waste pipeline and its exit into the ocean water off TR's barrier island section, there are tons of articles to verify this. Agreed, as is stated, this is an informational encyclopedia, not a Public Relations outlet. Good or bad, it's the history of the Township.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.187.141.20 (talk) 03:01, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Toms River, New Jersey's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "2020Census":
From Brookhaven, New York: 
From New Jersey: 
From New York City:

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 20:13, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
