#2: Initial revision
This is a stylistic choice. I would never use a comma or semicolon at the end of a list item. I would use a period/full stop only if the item is a full sentence. To wit: > _Star Trek_ is known for breaking new ground on television in several ways: > > • Kirk and Uhura's kiss in "Plato's Stepchildren" was the first interracial kiss on broadcast TV. > > • Chekov (a Russian) and Uhura (a black woman) as bridge officers > > • An alien as the first officer (and in the pilot, a woman as the first officer) > > • In later series, black and female captains, and a Klingon bridge officer > > • Apocryphally, Lt. Malcolm Reed was intended to be gay, which would have made all the security officers contravene the hulking testosterone-soaked bruiser stereotype (Yar, a wasp-waisted woman; Worf, the oddly subdued Klingon; Odo, the thoughtful shapeshifter; Tuvok, a Vulcan; and Reed, a slender gay man).
