If you actually bothered to review the early RFCs, nearly all of which are freely available online from the Internet Engineering Task Force, you would have realized the ARPANET was the standard spelling from 1972 onward. Yes, prior to 1972, the network was called the ARPA Computer Network or just the Network for short, but ARPANET (in all caps) became the dominant usage after 1972. And ARPANet was never in widespread use.
For examples of the ARPANET usage in 1972, see: [1], [2], and [3]. For an example of the earliest discussions on the ARPA Computer Network, see: [4].

[edit] Stuff
No, I meant like a template. I tried to put one around some text on my userpage, but I completely screwed up, and I had to delete the text. Ellie041505 13:11, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for helping me with that. I'm technologically challenged :). (I changed my username) Eilicea 13:08, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
