Wallingford railway station → Wallingford railway station (England) – This tourist railway station is not the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC over the other two stations of the name. It receives a minority of the article traffic (and less than Wallingford station (Connecticut)), despite being at the base name.[1] It has no greater long-term historical significance, as all three stations are of similar age. Proposed disambiguation follows WP:UKSTATION and the consensus at the recent RfC. Cúchullain ^t/c 18:46, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

• Oppose There's a "g". --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:02, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

  That is almost certainly a mistake since the rational for moving the article mentions nothing about changing the spelling of Wallingford so it’s safe to conlcluse that the proposed simply had a typo.--76.65.42.214 (talk) 22:54, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

  I've now amended the typo, Redrose64 In future please fix these things instead of opposing per them!, It was an obvious typo so the obvious course of action would've been to fix it. –Davey2010 ^{Merry Xmas / Happy New Year} 02:16, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

  I've been pulled up before for "fixing" this sort of thing when the spelling was intentional, typo or no. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:43, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

  LOL, yes, it was an obvious typo. Thanks for correcting. The real point here is that this isn't the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC.--Cúchullain ^t/c 18:58, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

• Support Bit sad to oppose over an obvious typo.... Anyway support - I would go as far as to say the Conneticut one should be moved to Wallingford railway station as that looks more notable out of the 3 but if a disam is preferred then I don't mind that. –Davey2010 ^{Merry Xmas / Happy New Year} 02:14, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
