    • Humor me and source the three items in the infobox
    • I would like to see a mention of his graduation from Cornell in the intro
    • You might consider italicizing "Star Trek" as you would Star Wars
    • This sentence is rather run-on-ish and could benefit from being broken up: "Although Holland was proud of the game, feeling they had captured the essence of Star Trek, and it was well received by critics, with awards including Best Simulation Game 2002 on IGN and Best Game in Class on GameSpot, it was not as commercially successful as he hoped, something he later attributed to declining interest in the space combat genre combined with the decline of the Star Trek franchise."
    • When describing the aspects of game play, consider using the present tense, since the game could still be played. Particularly, this line: "players took on the role of an American pilot in the Royal Air Force..."
    • After looking back at the article's opening quote and looking at the source, it seems like this line is secondary source material taken from the primary source, being his actual spoken dialogue. As such, I might consider italicizing (or de-italicizing, in this case) Millennium Falcon. Just because the creator of this website is too stupid to do so, doesn't mean we can't adapt the text for our own purposes. Regardless, italicize "X-wing Alliance," since they make a half-hearted attempt to do so.
    • Kudos on the research it took to compile this baby. Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:03, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
