[edit] GA passed

The article seems well written and well documented. My only suggestion is that it might be easier to read if there were less use of the single name "Piccard". I realize that it is normal in formal writing to refer to someone by last name, but when there are several people with the same last name under discussion, it gets confusing. For example, in the last paragraph of the "Family and education" section, the phrase "where Piccard was present for many of his lectures" made me wonder "How could he be absent from his own lecture"? Even in cases where it can reasonably be inferred which Piccard is being discussed, you're making the reader work harder than necessary.--Jwwalker 05:22, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
