*Note that other than noting current and former residency, there is no reason to remove Bradley from the Montclair article. Alansohn 06:04, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bill Bradley in Verona 

message: This page only mentions when the town was founded, so it could really use a history section.Tlantanu (talk) 13:05, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, why is there no history? This town goes back to 1666, and was at one time called Cranetown and then Watchung. DavidRavenMoon (talk) 17:25, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

text: The source above states that Watchung was a name used by the Lenape to describe places in Montclair, not that it was used as a name for the area itself. Alansohn (talk) 03:34, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  history 

message: In Demographics, the figures given for Catholics and Protestants (labelled "other Christian sects", which is misleading) are implausible; the latter are surely more than 9% of Montclair's population.  The citation is to a website that currently provides no information on religious composition.
In Air and Road, the distances to the major nearby airports are much too large.
These facts should be checked and if they cannot be verified, they should be removed.

message: The section titled "Music History: As Time Goes By" can probably by deleted. It is mostly irrelevant and makes claims not supported by the single citation. Pullarius1 (talk) 17:33, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  "music history" section poor quality 

message: It should not be difficult to find another source backing up the fame of "As Time Goes By". I feel very strongly that this section is an important piece of musical history. It means a lot to people interested in this history. Gwen Orel of the Montclair Times certainly thought it was newsworthy. I will look into another source as soon as I have time.Gladiator-Citizen (talk) 23:46, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Famous song 

message: The Montclair Times article by Gwen Orel on which I based this part of the article holds a a contradiction, or seeming contradiction. Herman Hupfeld was a successful song writer who built his house in 1935-1936, the money from As Time goes By did not roll in until after the film Casablanca in 1942. Did he pay off his mortgage then? Did he add the top story then? But the famous song was not responsible for the original building of the house. I have altered the wording which I hope is more accurate.Gladiator-Citizen (talk) 02:20, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
