Talk:Kansas City Public Schools

Change "Kansas City, Missouri public schools" to "Kansas City, Missouri, public schools"
Wikipedia Manual of Style 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:


 * {| style="background:transparent"


 * : || He set October 1, 2011 as the deadline for Chattanooga, Oklahoma to meet his demands.
 * :   || He set October 1, 2011, as the deadline for Chattanooga, Oklahoma, to meet his demands.
 * }
 * :   || 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)
