Tips

• Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
• It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
• If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
• Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
• When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
• If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
• Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Commas

You might consider checking the Wikipedia Manual of Style on the use of commas in geographical references. It's here: https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Commas

It provides this example:

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 terminal punctuation or a closing parenthesis. The last element is treated as parenthetical.

Correct: He traveled through North Carolina before staying in Chattanooga, Tennessee, for the night.

Incorrect: He traveled through North Carolina before staying in Chattanooga, Tennessee for the night.
