Satans Kingdom, Massachusetts → Satan's Kingdom, Massachusetts – Sources seem to indicate that this place uses an apostrophe in its name, IE Satan's Kingdom and Egypt, Ma, Here's a little known Halloween fact: Satan's Kingdom is in Massachusetts, Satan's Kingdom in Massachusetts Is Not What You Think, etc. Since it's an unincorporated village, it is "not a census designated or incorporated place having an official federally recognized name", so there is no "official" federally recognized spelling, so we should probably use what the sources say.

- Support When I moved this to the no-apostrophe title back in 2010, I was using the USGS naming convention, which has always been fairly strict about not including apostrophes. That being said, over time I've realized that there's no real reason Wikipedia needs to follow USGS naming conventions, and everyone else seems to use the apostrophe.
