:Even if my sysop powers weren't suspended, your request would still be denied. "James' Carnivine" would imply a Carnivine implying to a pluralized Jame, which is not the case; "James's Carnivine" correctly implies a Carnivine belonging to a single James. I don't know which inaccurate textbook you're using, but there is no grammar rule that would allow that page move. Honestly, people have brought this issue up time and time again and have been turned back every single time...--[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 20:36, 27 November 2010 (UTC) | :Even if my sysop powers weren't suspended, your request would still be denied.

::No, it is not pluralizing Jame, but it is using college APA English while people on the article's talk page have informed me that this site uses MLA English which apparently allows such usage.

:::We use ''James's'' over ''James''' to be consistent with the rest of the wiki. '''Yes'', ''James''' is correct, but so is ''James's''. Trufax. And grammar rules are '''always''' changing from year to year. But we leave it ''James's'' to simply be consistent.
