I've noticed that you've been a stickler for the rule that says two items in a series don't need to be separated by a comma, but three or more do need to be separated by a comma. However, you've been trying to enforce that rule where it doesn't apply, such as when two sentences are joined by a conjunction. In that case, the comma does need to be there. Keep that in mind before deciding to remove the comma. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 20:43, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
