Possessive

edit

So that I understand better going forward, why was "Dicken's 'Ivy Green'" edited to "Dickens 'Ivy Green'", shouldn't it be treated as a possessive, like in "Van Gogh's work"? Thanks much!--CaroleHenson (talk) 13:39, 22 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, I only half corrected the error. The author's name is Charles Dickens. So the possessive should be Dickens' (not Dicken's). Here we should have "Dickens' Ivy Green". I think I've fixed it correctly now. - Ipigott (talk) 20:58, 23 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
Thanks! Sometimes I'm a bit of a "ready, fire, aim" girl -- that's why they turned me down for sharp-shooting school. : )
You're right about my mix-up on "Danish" vs. "Dutch" Golden Age. Thanks.--CaroleHenson (talk) 22:13, 23 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
