When a person is first mentioned in an article, their full names should be used. Further mentions should be abbreviated to surname only. When using the possessive form of names that end in "s", (e.g. Rivers), a second s should not be added. Add the apostrophe after the original s (e.g. Rivers'). | When a person is first mentioned in an article, their full names should be used. Further mentions should be abbreviated to surname only. An exception to this rule would be when distinguishing between multiple people with the same surname (e.g. Rivers and Leaves Cuomo). When using the possessive form of names that end in "s", (e.g. Rivers), a second s should not be added. Add the apostrophe after the original s (e.g. Rivers'). Possessive names can be linked using the Possessive name template (for example, <nowiki>{{Possessive name|Rivers Cuomo}} </nowiki> appears as {{Possessive name|Rivers Cuomo}}. | ||
