Sorry for doing this without discussion. But shouldn't this be located at "James' butler" given that a word ending in an "s" does not receive an extra s when an apostrophe is used. Sorry again for jumping the gun.--[[User:Beligaronia|Beligaronia]] ([[User talk:Beligaronia|talk]]) 19:59, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

:You are quoting an incorrect grammar rule. James may end in s, but it is not plural. Moving it implies a butler who belongs to more than one Jame. We've had this discussion before on the main page talk, and are keeping every 's after James.

Hopkins

This page seems to have information on Hopkins from Holy Matrimony. Does this mean that Hopkins should redirect here? Turtwig A (talk | contribs) 17:37, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

If anything, this should go to Hopkins. Let me check my episode repertoire first, but it might take until later. I don't have time now. MaverickNate 17:46, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
Hopkins, for comparsion
I've just gone back and double-checked EP048; it's available for viewing on Cartoon Network Video if you're interested (however, the picture is stretched on Cartoon Network Video). The person pictured on this page does not appear to be Hopkins. Hopkins is partly bald, has a thin mustache, pupil eyes, and no beard. The butler pictured in the main article has a full head of hair, thick mustache, dotted eyes, and a beard, and looks considerably older than Hopkins. Although I can't double-check absolutely everything, odds point to the DP153 butler as being someone other than Hopkins. --Shiningpikablu252 17:56, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Move to James' butler

Sorry for doing this without discussion. But shouldn't this be located at "James' butler" given that a word ending in an "s" does not receive an extra s when an apostrophe is used. Sorry again for jumping the gun.--Beligaronia (talk) 19:59, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

You are quoting an incorrect grammar rule. James may end in s, but it is not plural. Moving it implies a butler who belongs to more than one Jame. We've had this discussion before on the main page talk, and are keeping every 's after James. MaverickNate 20:01, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
