# Talk:Route 128 station

The map coordinates (wikimapia, google map) are wrong - they point to an area of Kyrghistan (?), definetly not correct. I don't know how to fix this, maybe someone will ?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.139.40.180 (talk) 

Fixed; the geotag template had a positive longitude value, which means East of Greenwich, not West like anywhere in New England.  Should be fixed now.  —CComMack (t–c) 22:39, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

I was about to edit the station's infobox station to Route 128/University Park as multiple signs throughout the station use this title, and while less notable, google search results also use the title.
However, when I began to make the edit, I came across the comment  in the station infobox template.  I'm here to ask what the general consensus is for signage in this case, especially as both the MBTA and Amtrak signs do say "University Park station" but on the bottom of the sign, as seen in the second and third images I've linked here. I will note that the station page for T.F. Green Airport notes the platform signs saying T.F. Green Airport/Warwick as well, despite (like Route 128) the MBTA not using this to refer to the station.

@Pi.1415926535: Pinging largely because after going through the page I found that the edit for this comment was yours, so I'd like to understand the particular ideas and standards in regards to station names and infoboxes. Pokemonred200 (talk) 15:33, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Good question. That platform signage, as your pictures show, generally uses "Route 128" on top and "University Park Station" on bottom as a secondary title. TF Green, in contrast, has it all on one line. Both the MBTA and Amtrak websites just use the simpler "Route 128". Given that, I think it's best to keep the simpler name in the infobox.

@Pi.1415926535: Gotcha. I asked in part because I noticed "Also subtitled Route 128/University Park" was removed from the article lede, which I felt was somewhat odd given the station signage and online maps information implying it to be an official name for the station (not unlike Wilmington's Amtrak station being Joseph R. Biden Jr. Railroad Station, or how Anderson RTC is announced as Anderson/Woburn on MBTA digital signage). It appears to be prominently featured at the station site itself, so I do believe the name should be featured in the article somewhere. Pokemonred200 (talk) 21:51, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
Yeah, I removed it before because I couldn't find a good source. I found a decent ref and re-added it. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 23:23, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
