Final diagnosis

I think we shoudl remove this coloum as it would cause the article to fail on Feature List review, however i think the ifnormaiton is important and should remain so i propuse we move it to the summary section as Final diagnosis so it owuld look like this

Rebecca Adler (Robin Tunney), a 29-year old kindergarden teacher, becomes dysphasic and collapses in her classroom. Dr. Gregory House initially refuses the case until Dr. James Wilson tells him that Rebecca is Wilson's cousin. When Dr. Lisa Cuddy tries to make House fulfill his clinical duties, he refuses but is forced to do them when his authorization to the MRI is revoked. He diagnoses Rebecca with cerebral vasculitis and her condition improves with treatment. To find the source of Rebecca's seizures, House convinces Dr. Eric Foreman to break into Rebecca's house. At the hospital, Rebecca suddenly loses her vision and suffers another seizure. Foreman discovers ham at Rebecca's house, revealing both Wilson's lie (Wilson is Jewish) and the cause of the seizure—tapeworms. When Rebecca refuses treatment, House persuades her otherwise by proving her condition with a non-invasive X-ray suggested by Dr. Robert Chase.

Final Diagnosis = Neurocysticercosis

Thoughts? This will be cross posted on the other articles--Andrewcrawford (talk - contrib) 22:39, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

1. People are using these House MD article pages to work on trivia quizzes and this is why they come to Wikipedia for this information. Shortening this article will pretty much remove the utility of Wikipedia for those that use these articles for that purpose. For this reason it is highly appropriate to use different standards and criteria for the House MD Episodes. The detail and length of the activities and the plot are required for these article to be of any practical use.

2. People, and I mean medical students (and others reviewing medical physiopathology) and others remembering what they have forgotten in this area, use these articles for a type of semiotica medica- or medical semiotics, in that the logic and the game like manner that the show is portrayed, allows many people to remember things that they have long forgotten, in the more rarer diseases. Again, the detail as to the steps taken in the diagnosis of these diseases are of practical use to discuss what House MD and his team is doing right and what they are doing wrong. It is an education tool, useful in the critical thinking aspect of diagnostic medicine.

3. For people working in Medical Informatics and in the area of Artificial Intelligence and Neural Networks, the innovative jumps that House MD and his team uses, may very well be of practical use in determining when Continuous Process Improvement methodologies are appropriate and when Innovative Process Methodologies will give you more business "bang for the buck". There are "gold standards" for diagnosis of a disease, but at which point do you leave your normal diagnostic pathway and go for the gold? Every physician has asked this question of themselves. What House MD does is oftentimes reckless (bad physicals and histories, lack of basic medical workups before more serious diagnostic examinations and surgery). But when do you leave conservative medicine and jump to a bit more riskier approach to arrive at your diagnosis? The need to have a detailed medical knowledge flow within these cases and the longer Wikipedia articles would satisfy these criteria.

4. If the articles were very much detailed in a medical sense, medical students could use Wikipedia articles as a study tool to decide what was done correctly and what was not done correctly. It could very much be an education tool to teach critical thinking in this area of medical diagnostics. And after all, is that not what Wikipedia is all about, as a knowledge tool and to help people to have facts in which to develop good patterns of critical thinking?

These articles should be lengthened to contain the more detailed logic of the program and the plot so that they can be used in a more knowledge intense educational manner, to teach medicine, medical semiotics/diagnostics and critical thinking.

Redirecting episode articles

Assessment of individual episode articles, those with no info have nothing but a plot section, infobox and EL's:

  1. Pilot (House) (FA)
  2. Paternity (House)
  3. Occam's Razor (House)
  4. Maternity (House)
  5. Damned If You Do
  6. The Socratic Method (House)
  7. Fidelity (House)
  8. Poison (House)
  9. DNR (House)
  10. Histories (House) (production info: a song that was played)
  11. Detox (House) (some award info)
  12. Sports Medicine (House) (guest appearances)
  13. Cursed (House)
  14. Control (House) (continuity trivia and a played song)
  15. Mob Rules (House)
  16. Heavy (House) (production info: a song that was played)
  17. Role Model (House) (a list of trivia: unsourced medical errors)
  18. Babies & Bathwater (production info: a song that was played)
  19. Kids (House)
  20. Love Hurts (House) (production info: a song that was played)
  21. Three Stories (a decent amount of production and reception)
  22. Honeymoon (House)

My recommendation: redirect all episodes except Pilot (House) and Three Stories for lack of notability. Xeworlebi (talk) 21:12, 25 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Colour contrast problems

It seems that this article is using colours in the infobox which don't satisfy Wikipedia's accessibility guidelines. The contrast between the foreground colour and the background colour is low, which means that it may be difficult or impossible for people with visual impairments to read it.

To correct this problem, a group of editors have decided to remove support for invalid colours from Template:Infobox television season and other television season templates after 1 September 2015. If you would still like to use custom colours for the infobox and episode list in this article after that date, please ensure that the colours meet the WCAG AAA standard.

To test whether a colour combination is AAA-compliant you can use Snook's colour contrast tool. If your background colour is dark, then please test it against a foreground colour of "FFFFFF" (white). If it is light, please test it against a foreground colour of "000000" (black). The tool needs to say "YES" in the box for "WCAG 2 AAA Compliant" when you input the foreground and the background colour. You can generally make your colour compliant by adjusting the "Value (%)" fader in the middle box.

Please be sure to change the invalid colour in every place that it appears, including the infobox, the episode list, and the series overview table. If you have any questions about this, please ask on Template talk:Infobox television season. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 05:30, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
