I will create Jun Hasegawa soon

I didn't create the article on purpose, she is a popular model in Japan, and I first tried the Wikipedia translator, but it didn't work. CrisBalboa (talk) 8:32, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

Bay Ridge

Nice going. You removed the external links and left Forgotten NY. Because of your stupidity, now we have NO links. I am going to find and report ALL links to Forgotten NY and report them because according to WP they are illegal. I don't know if you have anything to do with Forgotten NY but they would never have removed external links but for your stupidity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bay Ridge (talkcontribs)

Center vs Centre

Please do note that the Center/Centre bifurcation is not always British versus American English. In areas with heavy English settlement, particularly New England, "Centre" is still the preferred form for some locations. See, for example, Newton Centre station. I'll do more research about the Arlington station, but it appears "Centre" may have been the more common form. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 02:29, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

None of the sources for the page, or others I could find elsewhere, give "Centre" as a spelling. The area of the town of Arlington, after which the station was named, is uniformly given as "Arlington Center," both in documents and in present-day local signage.

Old newspapers have a mix of Center and Centre; both seemed to be in common use for much of the 20th century. However, timetables and station signs only used "Arlington", so I've moved it to Arlington station (Lexington Branch). Pi.1415926535 (talk) 23:21, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
