Post-nominal and comma
[edit]Listen guys. Did you follow the links I provided, and did you read and understand the guidelines there?
MOS:POSTNOM prescribes the following:
Where post-nominal letters are used, they should either
- be separated from the name by a comma and each set divided by a comma,
- or no commas should be used at all.
WP:COMMA prescribes: Always use a pair of commas for this, unless another punctuation mark takes the place of the second comma.
Commas are important. For instance, if you see this:
"On June 18, 2000 construction workers came across [the mummified body of NN (or whatever)]" – you might think that's a pretty big construction site if there were 2000 workers, right?
That because a comma is missing after "2000".
So, the first sentence in the lead is either
- Vice Admiral Mark David Hammond AO is a senior officer in the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) ...
or
- Vice Admiral Mark David Hammond, AO, is a senior officer in the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) ...
You choose. HandsomeFella (talk) 10:04, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
