Change "Kansas City, Missouri public schools" to "Kansas City, Missouri, public schools"
editWikipedia Manual of Style#Commas says, "In geographical references that include multiple levels of subordinate divisions (e.g., city, state/province, country), a comma separates each element and follows the last element unless followed by other punctuation." Example:
Incorrect: He set October 1, 2011 as the deadline for Chattanooga, Oklahoma to meet his demands. Correct: He set October 1, 2011, as the deadline for Chattanooga, Oklahoma, to meet his demands.
"Oklahoma" must be preceded and followed by a comma.
I therefore think that "Kansas City, Missouri public schools" should be changed to "Kansas City, Missouri, public schools. [I also think references to "Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools" should be similarly changed.]
If you disagree, I'd like to see references to numerous publications, etc., that do NOT follow the standard style. DavidMCEddy (talk) 02:07, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
