Wikipedia Abuse of Semicolon
The last few years, excessive use of semicolon is observed in Wikipedia. It appears a whopping 67 times in this article. 193.242.214.5 (talk) 04:25, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
 * And colons appear 261 times, while my computer gave up on counting commas after a thousand. What makes 67 unreasonable? Writ Keeper &#9863;&#9812; 12:59, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
 * There are some places where it might be better suited to have a period, but the article is >7,500 words long. Some things are better expressed with semicolons. Recon  rabbit  17:30, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
