That's why your comment on Bulkhead's talk page was removed. --NCZ 10:37, 29 November 2010 (EST)

It wasn't a "chat", it was supposed to be more of a fact for a possible animation error or inconsistency. -- Anythingspossibleforapossible 11:13, 29 November 2010 (EST)

Possessives

From Help: Style guide#Grammar: "Possessives of singular nouns ending in s should generally maintain the additional s after the apostrophe. However, if a form without an s after the apostrophe is much more common for a particular word or phrase, follow that form, such as with "Achilles' heel" and "Jesus' tears"." --Khajidha 13:53, 29 November 2010 (EST)

Maybe you should explain better the point you're trying make. The right grammar is used, such as not using another "s" after an apostrophe when there's already one before it. -- Anythingspossibleforapossible 22:05, 29 November 2010 (EST)

That's no longer the correct grammar. Writing "Optimus's" looks odd to me, since that's counter to the rules I was taught when I grew up, but these days it is considered correct. Language evolves, for better or worse. --ItsWalky 22:11, 29 November 2010 (EST)

I agree. It was discussed here about how it's not incorrect, but outdated. -- Anythingspossibleforapossible 19:32, 24 October 2011 (EDT)

To quote Wikipedia: "Many respected sources have required that practically all singular nouns, including those ending with [an s], have possessive forms with an extra s after the apostrophe." The Chicago Manual of Style describes the practise of NOT including the extra s only an "alternative practice" to the standard, and not the default way it should be done. However, "Classical, biblical, and similar names ending in a sibilant do not take an added s in the possessive", for instance, Khajidha's example "Jesus' tears". Hence, we write things like "Primus' creations", but not "Optimus' truck mode". To boil that down for you - it's the prevalent style to add "'s" after most words ending in s. - Chris McFeely 22:16, 29 November 2010 (EST)

Basically you said it's okay to use both. People are taught different things growing up. An extra s seems wrong and redunant. -- Anythingspossibleforapossible 22:23, 29 November 2010 (EST)

The point is that this wiki has set a standard that 's is used EVEN AFTER A FINAL S, unless it is a long established usage. By the rules enacted here your removal of the s was incorrect. If you feel that that should change, take it to the Community Portal and start a debate. Until then, please do not remove the s from possessives. --Khajidha 22:27, 29 November 2010 (EST)

You haven't even said what you had to "correct." -- Anythingspossibleforapossible 22:35, 29 November 2010 (EST)

I was referring to your removal of 's from things like "Simmons's" and "Optimus's", such as your edit on the Dark of the Moon (film) and Starscream (Prime) pages. I was simply bringing the policy to your attention to avoid multiple reverts in the future. --Khajidha 22:53, 29 November 2010 (EST)

Talk pages are not here for you to comment on the quality of a television program. —Interrobang 19:48, 4 December 2010 (EST)

And that's why it was a request for it all to be removed. You must mean the original. ONCE AGAIN, IT WASN'T A CHAT. Your definition of "chat" is bizarre. -- Anythingspossibleforapossible 20:16, 4 December 2010 (EST)

IDW comics continuity

Do you seriously intend to change the character links for every single issue IDW has published? I would think if that was official policy it would've been implemented long, long ago. - Cattleprod 23:43, 30 May 2011 (EDT)

What's wrong with it. It takes you directly to the incarnation you're (probably) following. -- Anythingspossibleforapossible 23:46, 30 May 2011 (EDT)

If he wants to do it, more power to him. --ItsWalky 23:56, 30 May 2011 (EDT)

Based on past experience, I assumed this would be the kind of thing the 'top brass' would be against, on account of the precedent it would set in terms of modifying nearly every fiction page to include similar links. - Cattleprod 00:33, 31 May 2011 (EDT)

My feelings are, we're pretty okay to keep the links bare as they are. If someone wants to make them *more* useful, that's fine by me, but I don't see it as a call to action. --ItsWalky 00:45, 31 May 2011 (EDT)
