[edit] Sunset?

Someone please remove the Sunset Photo pertaining to be from a shore location. The sun does not set in the east, and this is what a person would face looking a the Atlantic Ocean from New Jersey. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.201.224.99 (talk) 22:02, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

So, if I look west from Cape May, I am going to see the towering mountains of Delaware and not water? Student7 (talk) 20:12, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
If you look west from Sunset Beach in Cape May County, you will see the waters of the Delaware Bay. You won't see land, as the picture correctly shows (as indicated in the description) the view from the southwest corner of the NJ peninsula when looking west at sunset.

[edit] Pronunciation

The local pronunciation of New Jersey is not /njuː ˈdʒɜrzi/ -- it's /nuː ˈdʒɜrzi/. The audio file also uses the latter pronunciation. Should the local pronunciation be added? Should it replace the other pronunciation? Beta.s2ph (talk) 07:35, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Edit request on 2 January 2012

Why not add 'Newark' to the list of cities that "helped drive the Industr1al Revolution", after all it is probably the most important one.?

[edit] STATE HOLIDAYS

Every state article should include state holidays. NJ has extra holidays other than federal ones', such as Good Friday. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.90.5.246 (talk) 19:52, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. --Bryce (talk | contribs) 02:15, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

I agree. New Jersey has extra holidays other than federal holidays. Here's a list of NJ State holidays that should be written on article. http://www.nj.gov/nj/about/facts/holidays/ --Maydin37622 (talk) 16:45, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
