 {{NinjaSheik|text=True. Everyone needs to realize the ''s'' at the end of names like Roxas or Lexaeus is part of their name, so it can't be possesive. It is kinda annoying.}}
 {{EO|time=23:03, October 7, 2009 (UTC)|text=Right. It's why the name is "Roxas," not "Roxa." It doesn't just appear on Character pages, though. Other pages that fall victim to this would be weapon pages, item pages, etc. Basically anything that ends in an "s".}}

+Ahem...actually, it is a [[wikipedia:Apostrophe#Singular_nouns_ending_with_an_.E2.80.9Cs.E2.80.9D_or_.E2.80.9Cz.E2.80.9D_sound|perfectly acceptable]] English grammar practice to place an apostrophe after a none that ends in "s" and not add another "s" after it.  It's one of those things that falls into personal taste in the end, unless there's an established reason for it.  I personally think it looks a bit redundant and so tend not to do it, but at the same time, I can understand how it would look "incorrect" to someone else.  So those of you with teachers who insist on doing it one way or the other can tell them to get stuffed.*
