DECA

I have a real problem with the inclusion of the DECA vice president. As a DECA alumni myself, i do not feel its "notable resident" worthy. Although a great accomplishment, i feel it should be included with a DECA page, or if at very least, possibly the Verona High School page.

Also, the fact that a minor listed on wiki troubles me as well...

• i think this is a joke. I sent a warning page.

New York Radio Edit

Thanks for cleaning up my edits, but i feel that the New York Radio should be linked to the template. it gives an overview of the radio stations in the area...what do you think?

• I wasn't sure if that was your intention. We haven't done it elsewhere, but that's not a reason to impose that here. I would have preferred to link to an article, rather than a template, but I don't see an article that covers the area. Why don't you try the template and see how it flows.

  • Yeah, there is no actual page, but the template has alot of good info on it. maybe in the near future myself or someone else will make a page...Soccera2g 23:17, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Township of the Borough of Verona

The offical name of Verona is that. Any arguments in why this should or should NOT be included in the infobox should be discussed here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Soccera2g (talk • contribs)

That doesn't make any sense. It is either a Township or a Borough, not both. They are legally seperate. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 17:09, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

please see Township_(United_States)#Civil_township, the very last paragraph to help explain it better. Legally, Verona is a township, however, due to senseless funding guidelines back in the 70s resulting in towns changing to townships, but still keeping their boro or village name in it. It isn't stating that the town has two forms of government. its just a naming thing. All paystubs and P.O.s state Township of the Boro of Verona on it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Soccera2g (talk • contribs) 18:40, 10 February 2007 (UTC).

There is no indication that this is still in effect. The Municipal Code is titled Code of the Township of Verona, New Jersey. The contents of the code sometimes uses township and sometimes uses borough, indicating that Verona has changed its form of government at some point in its history. Everything on the official web site shows "Township of Verona". "Borough of Verona" does not appear. See [1]. Unless you can find an official source on the name, I think we can safely say this is no longer the case. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 00:47, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

See the middle of the page. The official department website has stated that the towns "official name" is Towship of Boro...Soccera2g 06:54, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

That is the fire department web site, and it is unclear when that statement was written. The article seems to have originally been written in 1984 (bottom of the page), but there have been various updates. That statement could date to 1984. Can you explain the conflict between that and the official municipal site? --ChrisRuvolo (t) 21:18, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

I believe its just for simplicity sakes. I know the guy who works on the offical website does not work for the town. He just volunteers his time and experience. I also know he hasn't lived in Verona long enough to know about the name. As i said before, i have gotten P.O.s from the town as of a few months ago which had "...of borough of...", and i recall seeing paychecks from them as well. Unfortunately i do not have them on me to back up as a source. Lets keep it as is, and ill dig deeper and find more information.
