[edit] Communities

I added the communities of Long Beach Township, since they tend to operate as individual entities; and are commonly referred to as such by the locals to Long Beach Island. --Thisisbossi 22:34, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fragmented

I added the part about fragmentation. I'm not sure how to cite source -- look at the map already on the page! It shows the four fragments. I used the National Geographic Road Atlas and Google Maps to verify which places within the Township are in which of the four fragments.

The article on South Hackensack cites that township's uniqueness in being fragmented in three parts, but doesn't cite Long Beach and its four. Isdnip (talk) 17:46, 21 November 2007 (UTC)User:isdnip

The {{fact}} tag isn't about this township in itself being fragmented: yes, geography is a good enough reference for that one. Rather, the {{fact}} tag is with regards to the statement that Long Beach Township is the only township in Jersey which is fragmented. And actually, now that you pointed out South Hackensack, you just demonstrated that the last statement is not entirely accurate. If you can find a source which states that, at four sections, it is the most fragmented township -- I suppose that could be added back in. In the meantime, I have removed the last statement. --Bossi (talk • gallery • contrib) 19:09, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
  • The reason I added the "fact" tag is not that I think its false (I'm well familiar with the case of South Hackensack), but that the definitive and superlative nature of the statement required sources. It might well be true, but I'm not sure how other municipalities, especially where islands are included, may be considered in this regard, so I thought the tag should be applied. I'd have no objection to its inclusion with a fact tag, but we should be able to find a source. Alansohn (talk) 19:15, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
