I've listed this article for peer review because i would want to see it get to an FA.

Finetooth comments: This is an interesting introduction to a character I've never seen on TV, though friends have said they like the show. The images need alt text, and I have a few other suggestions for improvement.

A requirement for FA is that images have alt text for readers who can't see the images. WP:ALT explains how to write alt text and where to put it. You can look at recent alt text by visiting WP:FAC, and an alt text viewer is one of the tools in the toolbox on this page.

Character history

House attended Johns Hopkins University and studied medicine at the Johns Hopkins Medical School, and was up for a scholarship at the Mayo Clinic. However, during his medical education, he was caught cheating by a co-student named Philip Weber, who ultimately got him expelled. House then attended the University of Michigan for the remainder of his study and met Lisa Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein), his future boss, with whom he shared a one night stand. - I think this might be slightly more clear in present tense. This passage might read, "Before becoming a doctor, House attends Johns Hopkins University and studies medicine at the Johns Hopkins Medical School, and is up for a scholarship at the Mayo Clinic. However, during his medical education, he is caught cheating by a co-student named Philip Weber, who ultimately gets him expelled. House then attends the University of Michigan for the remainder of his study and meets Lisa Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein), his future boss, with whom he shares a one night stand."

*Wikilink One-night stand? Add hyphen between "one" and "night". *"However, after he was put into a chemically induced coma to sleep through the worst of the pain, Stacy, House's medical proxy... " - She should be referred to as Warner rather than Stacy on this and all subsequent uses. *"At the start of season six, House gets off taking pain meds and finds other ways to deal with his pain." - "Gets off taking pain meds" is slang. How about "becomes addicted to his pain medications"? Or do you mean by "gets off" that he stops taking them? If that's the meaning, perhaps this would work: "At the start of season six, House stops taking pain medications and finds other ways to deal with his pain."

Personality

*"Leonard has said that Dr. Wilson is one of the few who voluntarily maintains a relationship with House, because his character is free to criticize him." - Shouldn't this be "because he is free" instead of "because his character is free"? *"Although House's crankiness is commonly misattributed to the chronic pain in his leg, both Stacy and Cuddy... " - Warner and Cuddy.

Conception *T-shirt takes a big "T".

General

The disambiguation tool in the upper-right of this review page finds two links that go to disambiguation pages rather than their intended targets.
The link checker finds a dead link.

I hope these few suggestions prove helpful. Finetooth (talk) 23:53, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
