Commas around a non-restrictive appositive



In Ensoulment (album) ↗ you removed the commas that surrounded the album title, ''NakedSelf''. The sentence makes perfect, unambiguous, sense without the album title, like this: "The The were inactive for over twenty years after they released their sixth studio album in 2000,". Saying "their sixth studio album" already tells the reader exactly which album you are talking about, because the band can only have one sixth album. The title is just extra detail, a non-restrictive appositive, so the use of commas is indicated. The WP article Apposition ↗, in section "Restrictive versus non-restrictive", explains this. <span style="color: #C30;">'''Chris'''</span>&nbsp;<span style="color: #060;">'''the&nbsp;speller'''</span>&nbsp;<span style="color: #900;"><sup>yack</sup></span> 19:06, 17 June 2026 (UTC)
