Comment edit

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wildwood%2C_New_Jersey&diff=prev&oldid=27106151 Why was this change made? In fact, the one before that seems even better. And why is there no more mention of real estate speculation and various historic hotels and things?

I think Robert has ocd.

I agree....

Who is Robert? What happen to the history about the Mar Ride Fire?

Racism edit

Why is there nothing about racism?

Because racism is still a large enough problem in this, my hometown, that no one wants to talk the truth about it! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.136.108.19 (talk) 20:51, 2 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

You should feel free to add information regarding racism, if you're sure that it's warranted in the case of this particular article. Please be sure that anything you add is verifiable, neutrally worded, and supported by reliable sources. Rivertorch (talk) 04:11, 3 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Midgets edit

And why isn't there anything about midgets? This article is woefully incomplete without midgets.

Incorporation and reincorporation. edit

"Wildwood was originally incorporated as a borough by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on May 1, 1895, from portions of Middle Township, based on the results of a referendum held the previous day, and was reincorporated on April 30, 1895. On January 1, 1912, Wildwood was incorporated as a city, replacing both Wildwood borough and Holly Beach City." So the article says. This is impossible; the place cannot have been reincorporated the day before it was incorporated. Perhaps it should read "Wildwood was originally incorporated as a borough by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on May 1, 1895, from portions of Middle Township, based on the results of a referendum held the previous day, April 30, 1895. On January 1, 1912, Wildwood was reincorporated as a city, replacing both Wildwood borough and Holly Beach City." Can someone check? J S Ayer (talk) 02:16, 25 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Doo-Wop edit

I must submit my opinion that at least one picture of a Doo-Wop style building must be in this article, probably best used if put in the applicable section. So, GET ON THAT! Thanks!

Wild reputation edit

Having grow up going to many of the NJ beach areas in the 60's- early 70's, I remember Wildwood as having a reputation in that time as having a rather racy reputation as a place for drinking, "swinging" and other 'adult' activities as opposed to the more "family oriented" beach resorts farther north. But I cannot find any good refences to this.. Anyone else hear of this?

Fox Park edit

Should it be incorporated? It's definitely more notable than the Mariner's Pier stage.

While I'm at it, is it important that WWE came in 2005 and 2006. They come every year. They go to 700 cities a year. Who cares? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.212.4.3 (talk) 14:31, 12 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Can't be true. edit

"A building boom began in the 1950s, due partially to the construction and completion of the Garden State Parkway in 1955."

Then the population would have increased, but it did not. Population remained steady since the 30s, so the statement cannot be true.
