[edit] Its versus It's

Hi Chaotic,

You've reverted the grammar change on It (novel) with the edit summary of "In this case, "It" is a being, not a pronoun. "It's" is the consensus, per talk pg". There is no consensus on the talk page, from what I can see: someone even pointed out that it's not spelled "It's" even in the novel itself! And of course "consensus" (which that conversation didn't have) doesn't trump proper spelling anyway. It's never means "belonging to it". When you change the word to "it's", you're changing the meaning to "it is". Please don't degrade the quality of articles by adding incorrect spelling. Firsfron of Ronchester 17:14, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi Firsfron - regarding your comment on my talk page. You're right about lack of consensus. After I submitted that edit summary I realized I wasn't sure my memory of there being consensus was right and...yep, there wasn't one. Apologies on that. However, I continue to believe that "Its" is *not* the correct usage in this instance (the character is "It", which I see as being a proper noun which just happens to be a homonym/graph/phone to the pronoun). So, while I do apologize for the revert without consensus - I won't do that again - I'd like to see the issue resolved to an actual point of consensus. I'll post my take on the article's talk page later today and perhaps between us and other editors, we can hash it out. Chaoticfluffy (talk) 18:02, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Hey Chaotic,

Thanks so much for your note. About mis-remembering the consensus: don't worry about it; to my chagrin, I've done that a number of times. So I can certainly understand how that would happen. As for my other observations, I'll discuss the rest on the article's talk page (for a centralized discussion). Thanks for being willing to discuss the matter. Happy editing, Firsfron of Ronchester 08:16, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
