Possessive's rule

According to MOS:POSS, it should be done the way it's pronounced. I've never heard it pronounced Ives's (Ivezez) but rather simply Ives' (Ivez). If I'm mistaken, please undo the two changes I've made. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:11, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV

"All these effects are combined to create one of the towering masterworks of 20th century piano literature—an unprecedented masterpiece of American music."

"Perhaps the most remarkable piece of orchestral music Ives completed was his Fourth Symphony (1910–16). The list of forces required to perform the work alone is extraordinary."

Sounds like this article was pulled from the back of Charles Ives CDs. The whole thing should probably be scrubbed of disgustingly adulatory prose. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.173.225.241 (talk) 06:01, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I totally agree. Vonbontee (talk) 07:19, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
