Talk:Michael Tritter

message: I think the storyline section goes into a great deal of unnecessary detail.  Here is my first stab at trimming it.
Tritter first appears in the episode "Fools for Love". His character is a police detective who becomes a patient of the walk-in clinic who suffers from a severe irritation in the area of his groin, which he believes to be caused by a sexually transmitted disease. Although House diagnoses Tritter with dry skin, a common side effect of the nicotine gum that Tritter is chewing, Tritter requests that a sample be tested. House declines on the grounds that he has already met this month's quota for indulging "stubborn idiots". After Tritter causes House to trip, the doctor feigns acquiescence, but insists he has to take Tritter's temperature rectally. After inserting the thermometer, House leaves the room with no intention of returning. Tritter later complains about his treatment to House's boss, Lisa Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein), but House refuses to apologize even after Tritter says that he would rather "beat the crap out of" House than sue him. Later that night, Tritter pulls House over for a traffic violation and arrests House after finding unprescribed Vicodin pills in his pocket. Television Without Pity Recap
In the next episode, "Que Sera Sera",  Tritter searches House's apartment and finds a large quantity of Vicodin pills and two apparently forged prescriptions that bore the name of House's friend, James Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard). Television Without Pity Recap During "Son of Coma Guy" and "Whac-A-Mole", Tritter pressures Wilson and members of House's diagnostic team to testify against him, but they all refuse. Television Without Pity Recap Television Without Pity Recap In "Finding Judas", Cuddy finds Tritter spending his day off looking through the hospital's log for evidence against House.  She accuses him of not having a life and "personalizing every slight". Tritter responds that "nobody [at the hospital] is innocent", as everyone allows House to treat patients despite knowing of his Vicodin addiction, and that it takes a police detective to uncover what the doctors are deliberately hiding. At the end of the episode, Wilson visits Tritter and indicates his willingness to testify. Television Without Pity Recap
In "Merry Little Christmas", Tritter and Wilson work out a deal to allow House to continue practicing medicine if he pleads guilty and spends two months in rehab. Meanwhile, House uses a dead patient's name to obtain Oxycodone pills as a Vicodin replacement drug, but when House visits Tritter early the next morning to agree to the deal, after going through the pharmacy's log and reading that House signed for a dead man's drugs, Tritter says the deal is off. Television Without Pity Recap
In the final days leading up to House's court case, House realizes the severity of the situation and finally apologizes to Tritter. When Tritter refuses to accept the apology, House goes into rehab, putting on a show for Tritter and the judge, but Tritter cites his past experiences with addicts as evidence House has not changed. The judge tells Tritter that she does not believe House to be the drug addict that Tritter tried to show him to be, and orders Tritter to move on. Just before the bailiff escorts House out of the courtroom, Tritter tells him, "Good luck. I hope I'm wrong about you." Television Without Pity Recap

replies: text: Good, but I don't fully understand the third paragraph, how about:In "Merry Little Christmas", Tritter and Wilson work out a deal to allow House to continue practicing medicine if he pleads guilty and spends two months in rehab. Meanwhile, House uses a dead patient's name to obtain Oxycodone pills as a Vicodin replacement drug. When he visits Tritter early the next morning to agree to the deal, Tritter says the deal is off, after going through the pharmacy's log and reading that House signed for a dead man's drugs. Television Without Pity RecapReads better to me. Also, you mention in the first paragraph that Tritter says he would rather beat the crap out of House that sue him, before House refuses to apologize, but it is actually stated afterwards. No further comments; nice job.--Music26/11 16:27, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Proposed trim of Storyline section

message: This reads like a pastiche of an encyclopedia article, cruft dressed up in leaden prose; everything seems to pass FA these days if only there are enough inline citations, no matter what they cite. --Janneman (talk) 02:13, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Here's a link to the discussion where consensus was to promote to FA. Articles are not judged on their "importance" or "significance", but rather their quality. –Juliancolton | Talk 04:04, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: But shouldn't importance be taken into account?  I mean, come on, you'll seriously tell me an article about the inventor of creamed corn could become featured?  Why feature something that doesn't matter, especially about a story arc that is considered one of the poorer ones in the series?PokeHomsar (talk) 04:49, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Why not? If people put the effort in, why shouldn't we acknowledge the quality? And yes, the inventor of "creamed corn" could become featured if the article was written well enough. Ironholds (talk) 06:31, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

text: Is it ironic if a member of "The Legend of Zelda" Wikiproject is complaining about "unimportant" articles being promoted to FA? --Contributions/86.142.97.137 (talk) 09:35, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

text: Importance is not an FA criteria. Length is not an FA criteria. quality and depth of coverage is an FA criteria. If the article covers the subject in detail, in depth and in a well-written way, it should be considered a featured article, i.e one of the best articles on en-wiki (see best, not longest). And since reqphoto isn't here, that isn't an issue. Ironholds (talk) 12:40, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  If significance isn't a factor in determining whether or not something should be featured, it should be from now on. I checked out the discussion leading up to the decision to feature this article, and the guy or girl who said that 'it would be embarrassing to the project if this ever showed up on the main page' is exactly right: I was embarrassed to find this on the front page of wikipedia. No judgment on the show or people's work on this piece, it's just not something you want to see up on the front page as representing the best of the wiki project.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.177.195.238 (talk) 12:47, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Why? We can't tell people what to work on if they're not interested in other things. Any article on any subject, if it passes certain standards, can be considered Featured. "significance" for articles is whether or not they're notable, and if an article wasn't notable it wouldn't be here. Ironholds (talk) 13:57, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: What the anon said. They've done a lot of good work on it, but it's a character from a TV show. It's silly for it to be on top. Importance isn't (or shouldn't be) a black and white thing. --AW (talk) 13:58, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  But the problem with labeling one article as "silly" over another is that it's one editor's POV vs. another's.  That's why we have objective quality-based criteria for articles' rating as opposed to just focusing on what some editors consider the "important" ones.  —  pd_THOR | =/\= | 14:03, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Exactly. Importance is entirely subjective, and I'm quite shocked to see long-term editors saying a subject "isn't important enough" to be considered a quality article. Ironholds (talk) 14:34, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

text: But doesn't the  template count as maintenance? That voids the whole article no matter what Irunongamesplay 19:53, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  I don't know if  counts as a maintenance template or not, however the template is not applied to this article currently.  The photo of Mr. Morse was a part of this article's FAC, and requesting a copyrighted one to replace a libre one is a quick failure of the non-free content policy.  Lastly, simply having a maintenance template does not automatically strip an article of its featured status, one would need to instigate a featured article review to accomplish that goal.  —  pd_THOR | =/\= | 20:03, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
