Talk:Winfield Junction station

Article subject

I'm confused. The article title and infobox suggest that this article is about a former LIRR station called Winfield Junction, but the main text suggests that the former station was called Winfield and the location of the station is now a junction point named Winfield Junction. If it's the latter then this article is wrongly named; it should be at Winfield station (New York) and the lead should focus on the former station, with a passing mention that the location on the LIRR is now called Winfield Junction.

It was a junction and a station. If it were just a junction it would've been named "Winfield Junction (Long Island Rail Road)" Another Winfield Junction also existed in Pennsylvania (see here). ---------User:DanTD (talk) 15:52, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

But when it was a station, was it called Winfield or Winfield Junction? The article text, as written, suggests it was only ever the former, hence my confusion. Mackensen (talk) 18:09, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Check out the 1910 New York Times article listed. I'm pretty sure I saw it somewhere else too. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 21:47, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Hey, here's another source. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 21:53, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

I did, actually, hence my confusion. The sources said either Winfield or Winfield Junction, but article lead says Winfield, in bold. Still does, actually. It's been like that from the beginning, so I don't know if Winfield is an alternative name. Nouns matter. Mackensen (talk) 22:24, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Okay, with Kew Gardens 613 (talk · contribs)'s edits I think we're sorted here. Mackensen (talk) 22:56, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
