Here was the question:
Is the comma here wrong or right? "February, 2010"
Correct comma 34 (28%)
Incorrect comma 84 (71%)
Congrats to 71% of you. When you have just the month and the year, no comma is necessary. If you have a day, though, you do need a comma: February 15, 2010.

Don't you only need one comma then?
February 15, 2010
In the solution, there should not be a comma after "February". The only comma should be between the day and year.
Oops. All fixed.
Thanks for pointing out that I'm an idiot! :)
Lesson learned by all: don't forget to proofread yourself!
