When do I put a comma before the word 'on'?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
For example, why is there a comma before 'on' in this sentence:
So, return to the case of Max Greene and consider the way in which
satisfaction made by Max Greene should be understood, on the White
view of satisfaction.

Use comma(s), to separate an explanatory phrase from the rest of the sentence.

That use of “on” seems dubious to me, awkward at best.
