What distinguishes the name "Springfield" from other place names in the US is not so much that it occurs so much more frequently than other common American place names, but that the core cities of several unremarkable, small to medium-sized metropolitan areas bear the name -- e.g., Springfield, MA; Springfield, MO; Springfield, IL.

I am no longer familiar with the process for updating Wikipedia, as I haven't proposed any in years after whole sections I worked on were just deleted as irrelevant, though it was a resource for many... So, I would appreciate an assist. 71.210.238.7 (talk) 04:41, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
