Oxford comma?

A recent IP editor removed Oxford commas from lists. This article is in Australian English, which I am not fluent in. Do Aussies use the Oxford comma? IAmNitpicking (talk) 21:56, 11 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Australian English is somewhat based in British English which allows constructions with or without the Oxford comma. Basically, the removal of those Oxford commas are pretty useless. 182.3.38.251 (talk) 04:32, 30 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

May need some TLC

I overall like this article, although it does repeat itself and I do wonder about whether everything belongs or is making it too long/unreadable. For certain there are quite a few statements which are backed up by a single ref and are not widely recognized. As just a small example.

The development of a germanium-wire based anode that more than doubles the capacity of lithium-ion batteries was reported in 2014. In the same year, Lee et al. reported that defect-free crystals of graphene large enough to have electronic uses could be grown on, and removed from, a germanium substrate.

I don't think either of these is in use as yet so could be WP:TOOSOON for inclusion,if you judge them as if they had their own article. Ldm1954 (talk) 23:32, 19 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
