Adams's not Adams' edit
Regarding your edit to John Tyler, please see this citation:
- Krupa, Tyler (2013-06-20). "APA Style Blog: Forming Possessives With Singular Names". APA Style Blog. Retrieved 2018-01-18.
Therefore, [...], the correct usage would be "Adams's (2013) work."

- (Reply) Hello Peaceray, thank you for correcting me. I was always taught that it would be “Adams’”, rather than “Adams’s”, but apparently I was wrong. I actually feel a little embarrassed now, but I suppose we all make mistakes. I’ll fix my errors, and I’ll try not to make them again. P.S., I tried to place this message on your user talk page, but because I’m not terribly familiar with how to respond on such a huge talk page, I just thought I’d try here. Because of this, I’ll probably delete this message soon once you’ve seen it. Also, and I mean no disrespect, but saying “Welcome to Wikipedia” feels a little demeaning to me. I appreciate the kindness, but I’ve been an avid editor lately and have been on Wikipedia a long time. CleverConservative1 (talk) 21:39, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
- @CleverConservative1: I did not know the rule about the possessive of singular names that end in "s" until well after I started editing Wikipedia, & I had English as part of my BA degree & Library & Information Studies as my MS! Don't worry about getting a grammar rule wrong; English is a complicated language in many ways, although I am grateful that English only has simple declensions as compared to Greek or Latin.
- Thanks for the comment about the length of my talk page. It is a reminder that is overdue for archiving.
-(Reply) Thank you for being so cordial and nice about it, and thank you again for informing me (every little bit helps make the website more grammatically/lingistically correct). Also, I’m sorry for essentially shoving away your welcome, I know it may’ve sounded a little arrogant, and unnecessarily arrogant at that. CleverConservative1 (talk) 23:07, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
Hello there, per this earlier discussion about possessives, I wanted to clarify why I reverted your recent edits to Jesse James. I didn't think there was consensus in Wikipedia's style guide about the s's thing, but on looking it up, I do see that "the boss's office" is the preferred form (see MOS:POSS). However, I didn't revert your edits because of those changes, but the fact that you moved punctuation to come after citations, which isn't ever correct (one of these changes also broke formatting, but that's just a typo).
If you feel strongly about the s's thing, do feel free to resubmit those changes. Thanks! Jessicapierce (talk) 01:11, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
June 2018 edit
Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in List of conspiracy theories, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. And on John F. Kennedy assassination , Carl Panzram , Emily Davison, Hancock Custis, List of deaths from drug overdose and intoxication, John Belushi and any other articles you have done this to. See MOS:OXFORD. There is no need to insert Oxford commas unless they are required for clarity or for consistency with the style of the rest of the article. It is not appropriate to arbitrarily change the style of an article. See MOS:STYLEVAR.

Replacing Hughes' with Hughes's edit
That is not a typo. Please stop doing that. El_C 20:53, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
Hello? Please don't continue with those edits while this remains outstanding. El_C 20:57, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
Look, respectfully, you need to start paying attention. You are not editing in a vacuum — this is a collaborative project. El_C 21:00, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
- I’m sorry, I will no longer make such edits. But I’ve specifically been told in the past that making the reverse edit is wrong, so I just don’t know anymore. There needs to be an actual consensus here on the {s’} vs. {s’s} issue for proper nouns. It’s ridiculous. CleverConservative1 (talk) 21:23, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
- To the best of my knowledge, neither is wrong per se., and I believe different manual of styles treat the two differently — but neither should probably be viewed as an outright "typo" and replaced en masse. El_C 22:27, 4 September 2019 (UTC)
Regardless, I promise to stop making those edits. I mean, I believe that [s’s] is right and logical, and I’ve been told that by others here on Wikipedia, but at the same time it appears that half of the pages use one way and the other half use the other. It isn’t consistent and it really discourages me from making any edits at all, because it seems that there’s always somebody who’ll interpret things differently regardless of how obvious the need for the edit may seem. Really does keep Wikipedia down. I’ll stop editing at all for the time being, except maybe for spelling and grammar mistakes that are simply too obvious to overlook, but even then I’m still skeptical and feel bad about the whole thing. I like Wikipedia but it can really suck sometimes. CleverConservative1 (talk) 10:05, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

Help wanted? edit
HI Ben, I probably should have done the Christy Sheffield Sanford article in my sandbox, but I thought I had enough materials to do this. Thanks for your unbolding, but could you help me with the other minor edits? I am still learning, and I want to do many more articles about women electronic literature writers... but I don't have the expertise. I would love your help! For example, I need to cite the Currents article as Currents in Electronic Literacy Fall 2001 (5), <http://www.cwrl.utexas.edu/currents/fall01/survey/sanford.html>. But I do not know how to do that with the automatic citations? Thank you for teaching me! LoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 01:17, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
- Hey, thanks for reaching out and being so kind and humble. I'm far from the biggest Wikipedia editing expert - there are probably many others that would be a bigger help - but I can at least try with minor edits. If you're looking to centralize a citation so that you don't have to write the same thing over and over again, here's a recent example from me (with quotation marks added at beginning and end to make it all visible): "<ref" name="HaleyDozens">Pfannenstiel, Brianne (November 14, 2023). "Nikki Haley unveils dozens of Iowa endorsers after another post-presidential debate boost". The Des Moines Register."</ref>"
- If you need any more help, don't hesitate to ask! SenatorKnowledge (talk) 01:36, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
