Powers Articles

• The powers articles are great so far! In fact, I'm not sure they really need to be labeled as stubs ... they're about as complete as they can be, given the information we have. I'm going to go ahead and alter the template to link to them now. It'll make red links, but I think you've demonstrated that these deserve to have their own articles.--Hardvice (talk) 17:27, 7 December 2006 (EST)
• I know you're not the only one, but I really appreciate all the work you've been doing on the articles for the individual powers - they look terrific. Thanks! - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 19:44, 8 December 2006 (EST)

Young Evolvies

TedC, I liked your theory about Micah and Claire discovering their powers when they were young. You might want to include a note about Sanjog, too... :) - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 14:51, 11 December 2006 (EST)

• Thanks. I made an update in the Theories:Micah section. --Ted C 15:35, 11 December 2006 (EST)

Plurals and Possessives of Family Names

Ryan really does have them correct. Plurals which end in 's' (like the Parkmans) take an apostrophe to become possessive (the Parkmans'). Family names which end in 's' take an 'es' to become plural ("Sanders" -> "Sanderses"); that's why one keeps up with the Joneses, not the Jones. Since they then end in 's', their possessive takes an apostrophe ("Sanderses'"). "The Parkman's" home would be a home which belongs to "The Parkman", which sounds like a nickname.--Hardvice (talk) 13:31, 13 December 2006 (EST)

Ryan has them correct ... except for "The Sanderseseses" -- now, that's just silly. :) - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 14:26, 13 December 2006 (EST)

Well, it still drives me nuts, but what the hey? Who'd notice? --Ted C 14:39, 13 December 2006 (EST)

I agree that this one of those cases where the correct way always looks 100% wrong.--Hardvice (talk) 14:43, 13 December 2006 (EST)

Like "colonel", "judgment", and "ornery" - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:02, 13 December 2006 (EST)
