Talk:Brooks' law

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] John Drummond

The link to John Drummond is broken. And, I can't find in Brooks's book this variation on Brooks's Law that Drummond gives. Can anyone shed light on this?

[edit] Brooks's

I have changed Brooks's to Brooks' since that is how it's in the title. But it appears there is some discussion. Which is correct? Please discuss here before changing. Google shows "Brooks' law" as the clear winner. Piet 15:54, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

If it becomes Brooks's law, the article should move to that name.Piet 15:58, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Unless there are more than one Brooks, Brooks's is correct

I could be mistaken here, but in English classes, we were taught that a word whose singlular ends in "s" does not take an additional "s" after the apostrophe. If this is incorrect, do you have a good source where I might straighten out this and (preferrably) other mistakes? Zuiram 19:59, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

The wording of the section ("Some would claim") irks me. Is it worthy of a weasel-word tag or a citation/reference needed one? 85.216.249.92 15:51, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
