| Why does the Geography section make such an issue about NB, UC and JC meeting in a single point? Obviously, ''any'' three areas on a plane can meet ''only'' at a single point (or not at all). For example, NB, JC and Secaucus meet at Secaucus Rd and Penhorn Ave; NB, UC and WNY meet at 48th St and JFK; NB, WNY and Guttenberg meet at 68th St and JFK; etc. This would be significant only in ''solid'' geometry; for example, if the space 200 feet above the ground was a different municipality. What's so special about NB, UC and JC that we have to mention it twice (in the 2nd 'graph and in the Transfer Station bullet)? --] (]) 11:48, 1 October 2009 (UTC) | Why does the Geography section make such an issue about NB, UC and JC meeting in a single point?

Odd statistic...
"21% of New York City's employed residents work in North Bergen." I've just removed it. If there's a better way to word this, then it should be done, but I have no idea what was meant by this statement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.33.62.34 (talk) 03:17, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
North Bergen, south of Bergen County
As a youngster who was not from New Jersey, I remember it being interesting that NJ had a "North Bergen" and a "Bergen County" but North Bergen was actually south of Bergen County. Perhaps this could be included as a clarification statement (because I didn't understand it at first when I was a little kid) Erifnam (talk) 02:15, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
- The opening sentence of the Lead (and of the article) already states that North Bergen is in Hudson County.
- I just added a section of the derivation of the name North Bergen. I added it first, just after the lead. Maybe it should go last. Or have its name changed to something like Etymology. --RoyGoldsmith (talk) 20:27, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
Single Point Border?
Why does the Geography section make such an issue about NB, UC and JC meeting in a single point? Obviously, any three areas on a plane can meet only at a single point (or not at all). For example, NB, JC and Secaucus meet at Secaucus Rd and Penhorn Ave; NB, UC and WNY meet at 48th St and JFK; NB, WNY and Guttenberg meet at 68th St and JFK; etc. This would be significant only in solid geometry; for example, if the space 200 feet above the ground was a different municipality. What's so special about NB, UC and JC that we have to mention it twice (in the 2nd 'graph and in the Transfer Station bullet)? --RoyGoldsmith (talk) 11:48, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
- Sounds reasonable. Personally, I favor simply describing which other cities the city in question borders at north, south, east and west (or northeast, southwest, etc.). Nightscream (talk) 15:23, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
Removal of redundant category
I have removed the redundant category "people from North Bergen, New Jersey". However, Alansohn has twice added it back. I would like to avoid an edit war. This category "people from North Bergen, New Jersey" is redundant, because the parent category "North Bergen, New Jersey" is also on the article. This violates WP:SUBCAT, which states that "a page or category should rarely be placed in both a category and a subcategory or parent category". User:Alansohn has masqueraded his category addition as a "see also", which appears to be an attempt at subverting accepted policy. Furthermore, even if both the parent and child category were to stay, the child category "people from North Bergen, New Jersey" is incorrectly placed. WP:CATDEF states clearly that "category declarations are placed at the end of the wikitext". Thank you for your input. Magnolia677 (talk) 06:29, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
