message: After the note about the fosters survey on High Schools was removed, the "high school is the real point of pride for the town" stopped making sense.  Somebody should remove it.

message: The Cocheco Mills link is not vital, however the Cocheco Mills are a vital piece of Dover's history. I haven't dived into the Mills history yet - it covers the textile industry that was in Dover, and the owner had Abraham Lincoln over at his house which is now called the Lincoln House. The Woodman Institute Museum is linked in the article now, which is good. Also not mentioned is Tuttle's Red Barn - America's Oldest Family Farm located on Old Dover Road. There is some information here: Tuttles History however I'm currently reviewing a new Children's Book that was released by the Tuttle's on Saturday, September 22nd 2007 titled Tuttle's Red Barn The Story of America's Oldest Family Farm. The book is very informative, however it may take some time to pan out the historical facts as the book covers 375 years of the family. Someone in the community should be in touch with the Tuttle's to expand on this - perhaps in a separate article linked to Dover. Thanks SatyrTN.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pmcelhiney (talk • contribs) 23:49, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Definitely.  If you could create an article for Waldron at the same time, that would be even better. --Ken Gallager (talk) 17:03, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Historical paintings are cool and all, but modern pictures would also be cool. There could be pictures of City Hall, Henry Law Park, Dover High School, things that show how Dover has changed and show what it looks like today.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fastandslow7 (talk • contribs) 02:22, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

message: Apparently Dover was part of Massachusetts from 1641 to 1680. The article mentions it was "sold to Massachusetts" but the return to New Hampshire and the circumstances surrounding that should probably be noted as well. -- Beland (talk) 19:13, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: While unable to answer Beland's specific question I believe there is another serious discrepancy in the Colonial History bit. It states "In 1623, William and Edward Hilton settled at Pomeroy Cove on Dover Point, ...". I think that date 1623 traces back to a discredited statement by Rev. William Hubbard. "Narrative and Critical History of America", Vol. 3, by Justin Winsor (1884) shows the date was circa 1627. Charles Deane (1876) also explains it very well in "Notes on a recently discovered indenture relating to David Thomson". He shows that 1623 was just not possible because William was elsewhere and Edward did not get his patent till much later. I'm hoping the page owner is monitoring this because I am not a historian and thus do not feel qualified start editing critical dates! DavidEllis2 (talk) 20:27, 11 August 2023 (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 :Dover, New Hampshire'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 "USCensusEst2019":
From Worcester County, Massachusetts: 
From Concord, New Hampshire: 
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⚡ 09:28, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
