Lists
In general, bulleted list items begin with a lowercase letter and end in a semicolon with a period at the end of the list.

If each item in a list forms a complete sentence or is quite long, each begins with a capital and ends in a period.

Note: Each list should be capitalized and punctuated consistently even if there is a mix of complete and incomplete sentences. If the list contains mostly incomplete sentences, then no item should end in a period.
