Albert Arnold Gore, Jr. with or without comma?
Albert Arnold Gore, Jr. or Albert Arnold Gore Jr. which is correct? Wikipedia has no comma, but http://www.history.com/topics/al-gore has a comma: Born Albert Arnold Gore, Jr., on March 31, 1948 in Washington, D.C., where his father, Albert Gore, Sr., was serving as a Democrat in the U.S. House from Tennessee.

- Jelser, it depends on the Manual of Writing Style being employed. The Chicago Manual of Style does not use this comma, but some others do. To the best of my knowledge, Wikipedia does not employ an external manual of style to all articles. The important criterion is that the article itself is consistent. MOS:US is the closest I could find to this issue. Mostly I cite it as evidence that no manual of style applies to all wiki articles and the main rule is to be consistent within an article. I hope this helps. Dkriegls (talk to me!) 01:44, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
