Can I get help w/a MoS question concerning commas?
Wikipedia's MoS says this about commas: "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. Dates in month–day–year format require a comma after the day, as well as after the year, unless followed by other punctuation. In both cases, the last element is treated as parenthetical. Incorrect: He set October 1, 2011 as the deadline for Chattanooga, Oklahoma to meet his demands. Correct: He set October 1, 2011, as the deadline for Chattanooga, Oklahoma, to meet his demands."
Concerning the commas in dates in month-day-year formet, using this example from the Father Murphy page, "Father Murphy is an American western drama series that aired on the NBC network from November 3, 1981 to September 18, 1983."
The MoS says a comma is required after the year 1981:
"Father Murphy is an American western drama series that aired on the NBC network from November 3, 1981, to September 18, 1983."
Chicago, AP, APA & AMA says the same thing. All reputable sources agree - it's not ambiguous at all.
So why was my change reverted? It doesn't seem as if this is an optional comma; MoS says it's required; no exceptions are noted. What gives?

- Help request deactivated. It seems you've already asked this question on this page, and at the talk page of the relevant Manual of Style page, and also in several other places. In addition, this is not an issue which requires admin attention. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:09, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

It would seem someone rather more neutral would be best qualified to answer my question. 2605:E000:35C6:C200:C522:44A:E109:F43F (talk) 06:33, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
