Fair use rationale for File:Ocean Seal.JPG[edit]

File:Ocean Seal.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:00, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Simpler names for townships[edit]

Should these be applied to the municipalities section for townships? ThatOneJerseyDude (talk) 13:17, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Central Jersey vs Jersey Shore[edit]

There have been some questions about whether or not Ocean County is part of Central Jersey or the Jersey Shore. A lot of edits have been made on the subject and I think it's best to hash out before making changes back and forth. For what it's worth, most of what I've seen either considers it Central Jersey or both, but not exclusively Jersey Shore. Both regions are nebulous, including and excluding parts of multiple counties and towns, but no county is completely in the Jersey Shore region (which include PARTS of Cape May, Atlantic, Ocean, and Monmouth counties) whereas the entirety of some counties are considered Central (Mercer, Monmouth, etc.).

I will gather some sources and pull up the ones provided in previous edits to help reach a conclusion, but I have a feeling it'll be best to just include a statement in the way "is part of multiple regions, with the majority falling in both Central Jersey and the the Jersey Shore (specifically the barrier island and coastal municipalities)." or something of that sort. I'm open to any other ideas. Lindsey40186 (talk) 14:34, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well I'll eat a bit of crow on that, as, according to the State of NJ, Monmouth in "Central Jersey Debatable": Office of the Governor | Official Map of Central Jersey (nj.gov)

This shouldn't be taken as proof that Monmouth and Ocean are NOT part of Central though, as the state itself of saying that it's really up to the person and, by my guess, also depending entirely on the area your speaking of (i.e. no one would consider Jackson or Allentown to be part of the Shore region, but Sandy Hook and Seaside Heights definitely are).

In my opinion the regional division is based on counties rather than physical geography. So North Jersey would be Bergen, Essex, Hudson, half of Union, Morris, Passaic, Sussex, and Warren Counties; Central Jersey would include Middlesex, half of Union, Mercer, Somerset, and Hunterdon Counties; South Jersey would consist of Camden, Burlington, Gloucester, Cumberland, and Salem Counties; and then the Jersey Shore would be made up of Ocean, Monmouth, Atlantic, and Cape May Counties. I agree with there not being a clear-cut or crisp definition for what falls under Central or the Shore, but I just went with this division by Best of NJ for the sake of simplicity.
