Is it Cooper's Corners or Cooper's Corner?

I noticed that you changed my edit from Cooper's Corner back to Cooper's Corners. I'm going to explain to you why I changed it from Corners to Corner.

I have known about Cooper's Corner for more than 50 years, and it was ALWAYS referred to as Cooper's Corner, NOT Cooper's Corners. I try to be very careful with my edits. I did notice that the images in the article are identified as Cooper's Corners, but the school and the nursery were always referred to as Cooper's Corner.

The US Geographic Names Information Service says that the name of the place is Cooper's Corners, with the extra S. This is the authoritative source, cited in the article, and Wikipedia follows published official sources whenever possible. The GNIS nomenclature should be followed unless there is some other authoritative source that says otherwise. So far, none has come to light.
All your links point to the Montessori school. Your Google link displays an icon for the Cooper's Corner Montessori School, not for Cooper's Corners itself. A Google search for Cooper's Corners https://www.google.com/#q=cooper%27s+corners selects the correct map with an icon at Cooper's Corners. I do not dispute that the Montessori school is named "Coopers Corner Montessori School". But the article is not about the school.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
