message: The history information is nice, and it's good that a source is cited, but this really needs to be rewritten in our own words; otherwise the section may need to be removed as a Wikipedia:Copyright violation.  — Catherine\talk 01:21, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

message: I live here in BH and also know that a notable violinist / composer lived here.  His name was Jascha Heifetz.  http://www.jaschaheifetz.com/
he has been dead for 35 + years but he was a notable BH resident.
::We can't simply add it because of something that you "know", and I haven't been able to find anything on the internet that even mentions him and Berkeley Heights in the same sentence.  So until we can confirm this information we can't really add it.  Thanks.  NcSchu 21:12, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Question

message: Minor correction: Bell Labs is not actually in Berkeley Heights. It is in Murray Hill, which is an unincorporated area, with sections in both Berkeley Heights and New Providence; and, uses the New Providence zip code of 07974 in its physical address.
The statement should be removed from the Berkeley Heights wiki, and moved to the one specific to Murray Hill (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murray_Hill,_New_Jersey).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by QCG1 (talk • contribs) 17:54, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bell Labs 

message: has added material about a drug bust, flooding in downtown and legal issues regarding the mayor and police chief; this material has been removed by a number of editors. I have restored a previous edit and summarize my issues with the material.
;2014 drug bust
*Non-encyclopedic The amounts / cash value of heroin and MDMA, and the guns and other materials seized are rather ordinary. Certainly nothing that would count as "history".
;Flooding in downtown
*Modify details The picture provided by the editor provides no context as to the nature, location or scope of flooding in the township. The text was modified and a more relevant source added to replace the image.
;Police chief
*Non-encyclopedic the conlfict described between the mayor and the police chief is remarkably commonplace.
The user's edit summary stating that these "edits were done solely due to a reader's dislike for the content. This is not a permissible basis for removals ands deletions of content." has no basis in fact or policy. The material was removed / modified because it doesn't belong in this (or any) article.

replies: text: You are practicing what Wikipedia refers to as "disruptive editing" and this is prohibited.BerkeleyHeights (talk) 00:07, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: On the contrary, this material is improperly referenced. Patch.com is not a reliable source. It relies on user generated content. Using a photo to ref flooding is odd and improper. Capitalismojo (talk) 00:55, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks for your comment.  Patch is a reliable local source ( and it is or was owned at that time by AOL along with many other news sources including Huffington Post and is currently being purchased by Verizon Media).  Also, to clarify, the title and caption both also support the contribution. The link is not to a photo only.  Incidentally, Wikipedia also relies on user generated content. BerkeleyHeights (talk) 02:04, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Patch says explicitly that it relies on user generated content and the specific ref in question is, in fact, user generated. That is not Reliable Source under wikipedia rules. (Wikipedia is also not Reliable Source for wikipedia, incidentally) The photo supports nothing. Capitalismojo (talk) 03:23, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

text: , I've addressed my issues with each of the additions. The drug bust is rather routine and not worth mentioning; Same with the argument / lawsuit / settlement between the police chief and mayor. The flooding issue has more potential, but the picture you've used as a reference doesn't support the claims you've made. You're efforts to use the dispute resolution process was rejected, based in the fact that there has not been sufficient discussion here. I have no connection to the township and no dog in the fight to add or remove material, be it positive or negative; based on your user name, it seems possible that you may have an issue with a conflict of interest, and you may well want to review Wikipedia COI policy. If there is material that is uncited, I'm not sure what you're referring to or what the issue might be with the material in question. Other than that, the material you have added is unencyclopedic and doesn't meet Wikipedia standards. I am not the only editor that has removed this material and you need to obtain consensus before reinserting this material. Alansohn (talk) 00:57, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

text: User:BerkeleyHeights, three experienced editors have disagreed with you, and each has left a valid reason.  Wikipedia is not a blog or a newspaper, and decisions are made by consensus.  At this point, adding your edits back to the article would certainly be viewed as disruptive editing.  Magnolia677 (talk) 02:23, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
