Contradiction edit

Oddly, while this page says that Hoboken, New Jersey is the second most densely populated city in the country, the article on Hoboken says it is the fourth most densely populated. Which is correct?

HobokenHoboken (disambiguation)Hoboken should really obviously redirect (per WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT) to Hoboken, New Jersey, even if we keep the article at that "pre-disambiguated" name per the WP:USPLACE naming conventions. There's just no question that the major city in New Jersey is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for this name. The other candidates are two tiny villages (one termed a "city" technically, but with a population under 1000), a neighborhood of a city, and some bios of people none of whom are commonly referred to simply as "Hoboken" without the rest of their names (only in some narrow specialist literature).  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  03:24, 13 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
