We have any guidelines regarding apostrophe usage? --Krypton 04:20, 7 March 2008 (GMT)

Yes. Proteus's is correct. See: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/grammar/g_apost.html Asara 19:33, 7 March 2008 (GMT)
That makes it sound more straight-forward than it actually is. There are certain cases where the last "s" after the apostrophe should be omitted when the singular word ends with "s". In the case of "Jesus", it is even explicitly incorrect to go with "Jesus's" rather than "Jesus'". I only remember that one rule out of many for its memorability, though.. --Krypton 20:41, 7 March 2008 (GMT)
No. We're going by those rules until I hear otherwise. Asara 01:43, 8 March 2008 (GMT)
