- "Harris and Meredith give each other nicknames: "Die" and "Death", respectively." - Give or gave, past or present? When do they get these names?
- "The surgery goes wrong, however, and Harris' life is seriously endangered, though fortunately she is rescued by the residents." - Couple issues. First, "fortunately" is a judgment call and thus not necessary. Secondly, this looks like it needs restructuring. I'd suggest noting if there was a mistake, or something like that, and simplifying the sentence.
- "though later tells Lexie that she is not apologetic." - Who tells Lexie this? Should be noted.
- Generally I expect referencing the individual episodes for a character's article, like at X (The X-Files). It doesn't seem to be an FA criteria though, per examples like Poppy Meadow.
- Per WP:TVPLOT, I don't think it's necessary, but I did it anyways. TRLIJC19 (talk • contribs) 19:14, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
- To be fair, TVPLOT focuses on episode summaries; an episode can be treated as its own source for that the same as a film can. A character isn't really the same as they aren't an identifiable source; I can verify the accuracy of the plot for "Abyssinia, Henry" by checking out the episode, the details of which I can easily see in its article, but for a character I would have to watch every episode they appear in to verify these things unless a specific one is cited for each event/storyline. I do think it helps a reader; but if you have a source which maybe discusses multiple episodes at once or summarises the character's narrative arc in one place then that would be a better solution as it's a little more concise. As it is, it's perfectly fine though. I've amended the cites a little as some buck asshole seems to have deprecated a hugely-common field in {{cite episode}}, replacing
|credits=with|author=without supporting both. GRAPPLE X 23:07, 12 September 2012 (UTC)- Is there any way we could fix that cite episode thing? Otherwise, I have a lot of editing to do. TRLIJC19 (talk • contribs) 23:55, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
- I have zero confidence in my ability to actually fix the parameter but I guess it could be asked for in the hopes that someone can; otherwise you'll have to find-and-replace
|credits=anywhere it's in use; which I've begun elsewhere. It's a pain. GRAPPLE X 23:57, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

- "her recurring guest performances in the television drama In Treatment" - Year?
- Per comments at the Awake FAC (including some of my own) you should cut down on these long quotes. Yeah, they're great anecdotes, but they can be easily summarised. This short section alone has two fairly big quotes.
- Fix the citation needed tags.
- Any indication how Jolie's character influenced Harris?
- "who becomes jealous of the friendship between her and Sadie." Jealous of whose relationship?
- "the second most worthless guest star ever" - On the show or on any show?
- What makes BuddyTV a reliable source, or one with enough weight to be given the same focus as the NYT??
- BuddyTV was deemed reliable by Nikkimaria; she copyedited an article for me, and gave me a list of questionable sources, and BTV was accepted. It was also accepted in my recently promoted FAC for Give Peace a Chance (Grey's Anatomy), and, to my knowledge, appears in a few other FA/Ls. BuddyTV operates with an editorial staff, and has partnered with several widely renowned corporations, including Flixster and Rotten Tomatoes.

- Outrageous and Brash... why? The other characteristics too.
- Quite a few comments this time. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:24, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you for those; I addressed or replied to them all. TRLIJC19 (talk • contribs) 19:14, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
- A follow up comment for now:
- "He informs her that the reason she has not been fired is because of his relationship with her father" - This begs the question: what is the relationship?
- "Explaining that she decided to leave to pursue another project, and praising the cast members" - I think this should be "she had decided" as it is an event in the past that happens before another event in the past (i.e. requires the past perfect)
- I suggest finding a way to work in that George considered her character broken and using her sexuality to cover up something else, that's fairly important character information.
- That looks to be it. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:23, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

- Same goes for other people/characters
- Unlink Grey's Anatomy in production per WP:REPEATLINK, see it please
- She made her first appearance on the show in the episode "These Ties That Bind", being introduced as Harris, a longtime friend of series' protagonist Meredith Grey, wait isnt that already in the storylines section
- Shouldn't among be from in first sentence of reception?
- Don't use curly quotes, use regular, change it in ref 1, per WP:MOS
- Add television portal
- Too many portals; it creates a white gap.
