Article title

@Dicklyon: Why did you add a comma before "shooting"? Does not seem to be a common convention for titles. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 16:39, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

After South Carolina; nothing to do with shooting. Comma-offset state names get matching commas after. See [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] for examples of grammar and style guides saying so. Dicklyon (talk) 16:52, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Galobtter: Do you agree? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:11, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it looks strange to me too, but does seem to be what is used for these titles in sources and what's recommended by guides as mentioned above. Galobtter (pingó mió) 18:04, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, ok! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 18:26, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
