Parenthesizing commas

I've had to revert your "correction" at Race (biology) because it's an error according to all major style guides (and our own). Commas (and dashes) that serve a parenthetical purpose always come in pairs, except when the closing one is replaced by some other punctuation mark such as a period/point or a question mark. If you have difficulty remember this consider that parentheses (round brackets) always do, as well; no one would write "David Johansen (AKA Buster Poindexter is a singer and actor.", without the ")", so we don't do it with commas or dashes used for the same purpose. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 00:16, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh, good to know! I actually didn't know commas could be used like that. Knighthsilgne (talk) 01:16, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
