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)

: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)

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)
