Take, for example, this sentence in the Personal Life section:
"In 1985, the family moved into a $1.8-million private estate in Connecticut and lived there until they bought a $3-million mansion in Brentwood, Los Angeles, in 1990."
What in GOD'S NAME is the first comma for?
It's like it's been written by a millennial. 122.58.219.76 (talk) 11:15, 20 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
What does Africa have to do with it?
Whether by "first comma" you mean the one after "1985," or maybe the one after "Brentwood," the short answer is that that's how it's done by educated people.
For 1985: "You should use a comma when you start a sentence with an introductory prepositional phrase. This is a phrase that gives you the time, location, or context for the rest of the sentence."
For Brentwood: "Anytime you use a geographical name that includes multiple elements, you should separate the elements with commas."
By the way, labels like "millennial" are fallacious, to begin with. They also tend to be rude and inflammatory. Somewhat the same could also be said about the use of the deity's name, especially shouted in all caps. And no, I'm not a millennial. Dgndenver (talk) 11:37, 23 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
Partly done: I've fixed the reference, but the source cited for the number of Golden Globe Awards still says she has 33 nominations (perplexingly, the body text of the source says she had 30 nominations, but cross checking with the list of nominations at the bottom shows that 33 is the correct number).
