=== HRWiki:Featured article for 2005, week 30 ===

Well I think week 29 is well in hand, so any nominations for week 30? I'm personally up for [[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] and [[User:The Paper|The Paper]]'s suggestion, [[Teen Girl Squad]]. Any other ideas? '''[[User talk:Thunderbird L17|⇔]][[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]][/wiki/Special:Contributions/Thunderbird_L17 ⇔]''' 09:11, 17 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Personally, I like [[Strong Sad's Lament]]. But that's just me. --[[User:Acekirby13|acekirby13]]|[[User talk:Acekirby13|My Talk]]  20:34, 18 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Actually I was just browsing the nominations page and noticed that little gem. I was just coming to suggest this one in TGS's stead. Maybe bump TGS to next week. That way if we miss a bit due to bandwidth, it's a pretty obvious feature anyways. Anybody else? '''[[User talk:Thunderbird L17|⇔]][[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]][/wiki/Special:Contributions/Thunderbird_L17 ⇔]''' 21:02, 18 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Sounds good. Now that you mention it, we probably will miss next week due to bandwith. --[[User:Acekirby13|acekirby13]]|[[User talk:Acekirby13|My Talk]]  22:46, 18 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I'm down with Strong Sad's Lament. —[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]|[[User talk:FireBird|Talk]] 23:25, 18 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Yea, I think we're gonna have to plan our featured articles around bandwidth until JoeyDay annouces an upgrade. I'm still a bit dissapointed about what happened with the floppy disk container. '''[[User talk:Thunderbird L17|⇔]][[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]][/wiki/Special:Contributions/Thunderbird_L17 ⇔]''' 04:14, 19 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Agreed. Perhaps when bandwith runs out, the article that was up should stay there for another week. I just don't want SSL to get the short end of the stick and be up there for two days, while TGS, a feature everyone knows about, runs up there at full strength for a week. --[[User:Acekirby13/sig|User:acekirby13/sig]] 15:06, 19 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Well since the month ends at the end of next week anyways, we should be able to easily gauge whether or not TGS was up long enough. If it makes it to Wednesday or Thursday, I figure an already high profile article like that can be counted as featured and done, in my opinion. And next week we could give SSL a full week. How's that sound? '''[[User talk:Thunderbird L17|⇔]][[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]][/wiki/Special:Contributions/Thunderbird_L17 ⇔]''' 23:41, 19 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Sounds good. Roll with it, Thunderbird. --[[User:Acekirby13/sig|User:acekirby13/sig]] 13:46, 20 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Okay, I cleaned up the article a bunch and added stuff to it, and also made up the feature for next week. Feel free to tidy it up further before the big day.

=== HRWiki:Featured article for 2005, week 31 ===

How about [[Teen Girl Squad]] for this... Likely disadvantaged week? '''[[User talk:Thunderbird L17|⇔]][[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]][/wiki/Special:Contributions/Thunderbird_L17 ⇔]''' 23:20, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Why would this week be disadvantaged? Next Monday is August 1. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:02, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)
Teen Girl Squad is a good idea. This article should be written relatively soon, so when/if the wiki goes down, there will be an article ready to go when the wiki comes back up at 0600 UTC Monday. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 04:03, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Concern to be addressed: how long would the week have to progress for [[Strong Sad's Lament]] to be considered to have served its proper time as a Featured Article? If the wiki goes down, say, tonight or tomorrow, I'm willing to let SSL go for another week. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 04:08, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Oh whups, slight miscalculation on my part. Somehow I was under the impression that NEXT WEEK was the last week of the month. Oops. Well, in any case, I figure if [[Strong Sad's Lament|SSL]] makes it to say... Thursday, it's probably served it's purpose. [[Floppy Disk Container|FDC]] got less time than that. But in any case (again), what about bumping TGS again in favor of... ''Dum Dee Dum!''

'''[[strongbad email.exe]]?'''

'''Pros:'''

* It is an article that will interest others now especially.
* It is an article that will very soon benifit from random user's help.

'''Cons:'''

* Disk four isn't quite ready, and might not be by Monday.
* It is currently on the What's New section of the [[Main Page]], which already makes it quite visible.

'''Ooooor...'''

* We could wait a few weeks, until disk four is common, well known.

(Note, I don't think this format has to be strictly adhered to or anything, it just seems most useful in this case, as a simple demo, which could possibly be used more in the future. Simple, organized, easy to read. Overall though, I'm rooting for an informal, conversational atmosphere, not as cut and dry as STUFF). '''[[User talk:Thunderbird L17|⇔]][[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]][/wiki/Special:Contributions/Thunderbird_L17 ⇔]''' 04:47, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I think SBE.exe should be put off at least one week to give us a little time to get some good work done on it. By week 32, it will still be new enough to be timely and also benefit from casual users' help. We should postpone it briefly because who knows whether we'll receive our discs in time, or if we do, whether we'll even be able to edit the wiki. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:56, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)

For what it's worth, UPS's tracking page is predicting that I will get the DVD tomorrow. Doesn't mean we'll get everything transcribed by Monday, though... --[[User:Jay|''Jay o'Lantern'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Haunt)]] 05:05, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)

From the looks of things, we aren't going to make it too far into Wednesday before we go 509 for July.  I'd say if we make it to noon we're lucky.[[User:Tom]]  --  [[User:Tom|Tom]] 05:10, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I'll get my DVD on Thursday according to the tracking info I have. Jay, do you want to figure a way to divvy up some of this? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:13, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)

If Tom says tomorrow afternoon, I think we may as well just go with TGS, and set it up now, so that it's ready for the 1st, no stress. I have to go to bed right now, because I gotta be up for work in 6 1/2 hours, but if anyone just wants to get it done, be my guest. As long as everybody's happy with TGS. And in light of Tom's new information, that brings [[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]]'s concerns back into light. Is Wednesday noon long enough for SSL to be up? '''[[User talk:Thunderbird L17|⇔]][[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]][/wiki/Special:Contributions/Thunderbird_L17 ⇔]''' 05:24, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)

=== HRWiki:Featured article for 2005, week 32 ===

Perhaps [[strongbad email.exe]]? 'Tis the season. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 05:32, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

My word. Not an ounce of discussion, even with about two hours and fifteen minutes left in the week. Methinks I will take the liberty of writing something. Anything. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 21:44, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)

=== HRWiki:Featured article for 2005, week 33 ===

Heh, sorry to see what happened last week. I was on vacation. But I'm back now... Somewhat. Working hard Thursday and Friday, but I might be here and there a bit. So any nominations for this week? '''[[User talk:Thunderbird L17|⇔]][[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]][/wiki/Special:Contributions/Thunderbird_L17 ⇔]''' 05:45, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest [[Videlectrix]]. Mostly because I really want a Stinkoman 20X6 article but those probably shouldn't be featured until after the game is finished. Besides, we haven't had a game-related article yet. '''[[User:Homestar Coder|Homestar Coder]][http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/User_talk:Homestar_Coder https://web.archive.org/web/20211001000000im_/http://www.hrwiki.org/images/d/d6/homestar-coder-sig.gif]''' 06:45, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I'm all for Videlectrix.  I think that and ThoraxCorp are up there as some of TBC's best work.

Oh! I just had a sudden thought. What about featuring [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]] instead, and moving Videlectrix to the following week? The only reason I suggest this, is that it might clear up last weeks Strong Bad Email somewhat, to those who don't know TBC original style. I dunno, just a thought. What do you think? '''[[User talk:Thunderbird L17|⇔]][[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]][/wiki/Special:Contributions/Thunderbird_L17 ⇔]''' 02:30, 14 Aug 2005 (UTC)
'''Edit:''' It's now Sunday morning. Since the article goes featured tommorrow, if I don't hear any other opinions before then, I'm gonna just go ahead and switch 'em tonight, move Videlectrix to next week.

Due to the recent Strong Bad Email, and without any visible opposition, I moved Videlectrix to this week in favor of [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]] '''[[User talk:Thunderbird L17|⇔]][[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]][/wiki/Special:Contributions/Thunderbird_L17 ⇔]''' 01:17, 15 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Well, let's get an early start on this one. Put alot of time an thought, and whatever into it. I'm thinking we hit... [[Main Pages]] this time. Whaddaya think?

(I'm also thinking instead of choosing the article of the week for the week following, it would be best to keep a week ahead, especially while the bandwidth problems are rampant. Which means hopefully we can get this one decided on by this weekend (20th/21st).

JoeyDay has suggested [[Strong Bad Email Statistics]]. I think we should do that one. It's a very interesting page, and the stats have been updated recently. All that needs writing is a good paragraph for the FA, which several people are already willing to do. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 16:01, 22 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Which several people already did. Waiting for a feedback. '''''— [[User:Elcool|Elcool]]'''''[[User talk:Elcool|(talk)]][/wiki/Special:Contributions/Elcool (contribs)] 16:07, 22 Aug 2005 (UTC)

BTW, it is my understanding that since the forums have been moved to a different server, the bandwidth problems are a thing of the past (or, at least, a thing of the distant future; either way, not a problem right now). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:13, 22 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Oh really? Bandwidth is fixed? First I heard of this. Guess I missed [[HRWiki:Da Basement|Da memo...]] Since there wasn't one. But that's great about the bandwidth, sure makes me happy. Anyways, I'm up for Sbemail Stats. If you've already got the paragraph ready, then by all means, go for it.

Main Pages sounds good to me.  I think that before we do the statisticts, we should do Strong Bad Email first.  [[User:Rogue Leader|Rogue Leader]] / ([[User talk:Rogue Leader|my talk]])  22:34, 22 Aug 2005 (UTC)

[[Strong Bad Email]] was the [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2005, week 22|second FA that we did]]. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 22:45, 22 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Oh, my bad.  I think that the statistics would be a little hard to make into one paragraph.  Don't ya think? [[User:Rogue Leader|Rogue Leader]] / ([[User talk:Rogue Leader|my talk]])  22:48, 22 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I think the introductory paragraph that is [[Strong Bad Email Statistics|there now]] would do just nicely. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:53, 22 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Nevermind.  I looked at that first paragraph, and seems good on the main page.  [[User:Rogue Leader|Rogue Leader]] / ([[User talk:Rogue Leader|my talk]])  22:55, 22 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Not yet. There's still a lot of work to do. Those are some of the most neglected parts of the site. There needs to be a community project in order to correct all the spelling and grammar and comb through any of the minor or bogus sightings. Either Main Pages or Marzi's Answering Machine will do just fine. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 00:55, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Sightings need to be alphabetized. They're in a random mess. - '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]'''''

I think [[Limozeen]] would be a good choice. No real preference, though. I'm down with whatever. —[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]|[[User talk:FireBird|Talk]] 01:13, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Limozeen's cool, but how about Homsar? I'd love to see his image on the front page for a whole week. :3 - '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]'''''

I think we could probably do themed features for all the characters, basically wait until just the right oppourtunity. Or something. Which now leaves:

* [[Limozeen]]
* [[Main Pages]]
* [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]]

Anybody wanna make the final decision? Personally I think Limozeen could wait and be a themed article too sometime, then again I'm not really sure if everybody's keen on too many themed articles.

Personally I could wait until a week after it's finished, but I wouldn't mind hearing other peoples takes on it. Somehow I feel after it's over, TBC just might throw out a short based on the game... Free Country USA is also a good idea. I wouldn't mind doing FCUSA next week, and either Limozeen or Stinkoman 20X6 the week following, depending on whether or not it's finished by then.

Hmmm... Well I do realize the article needs work, if you'll look at the featured write up, it's somewhat further advanced, and will be replacing the paragraph currently on the article before the weekend. The revised article is about as long as TGS, which was also featured. If you feel strongly about it even after the revision, then of course we won't feature it. But it kinda feels right to feature all of the Toons categories at least once each.

I just did some more on it, made it more NPOV, ect. I think it's pretty good, if not maybe a bit long. It could maybe be shortened a bit for the feature paragraph.

=== HRWiki:Featured article for 2005, week 38 ===

[[Free Country, USA]], thanks in great part to [[User:Thesmokingmonkey|The Smoking Monkey]], has become one of the best, most interesting, and most informative articles I've ever seen on this wiki. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:48, 8 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Hear hear. [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/User:Some_HSR_themed_username https://web.archive.org/web/20211001000000im_/http://www.hrwiki.org/images/a/a6/small_logo.png][[User:Some HSR themed username|Username]][[User talk:Some HSR themed username|-talk]] 02:53, 8 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I second the motion. Or third it. Whatever number we're up to now. This IS one of the best articles on the site. It certainly deserves the honour. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Hey, three nominations is good enough for me. AND it is a quality page. Very well then, FCUSA is it, Provided that Stinkoman 20X6 doesn't finish next week. Then it'll probably get bumped to the week after. '''[[User talk:Thunderbird L17|⇔]][[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]][/wiki/Special:Contributions/Thunderbird_L17 ⇔]''' 03:34, 8 Sep 2005 (UTC)

The article is great, but the image.. I just don't think it says Free Country USA, more like Sweet Sweet Rainbow Birdge. I know it doesn't say anywhere that this is Free Country, but how about the globe with the USA shaped continent from [[Theme Song Video]]?

Hmmm... Okay, it's on the page now. Does that look better than the rainbow bridge? '''[[User talk:Thunderbird L17|⇔]][[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]][/wiki/Special:Contributions/Thunderbird_L17 ⇔]''' 13:23, 8 Sep 2005 (UTC)

=== HRWiki:Featured article for 2005, week 39 ===

Any suggestions for this week? [[Limozeen]] or [[Holiday Toons]] perhaps? I somehow feel Holiday Toons could be formatted better, but I'm not sure how. '''[[User talk:Thunderbird L17|⇔]][[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]][/wiki/Special:Contributions/Thunderbird_L17 ⇔]''' 12:26, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)

How about [[Games]]? [[User:Rogue Leader|Rogue Leader]] / ([[User talk:Rogue Leader|my talk]])  20:10, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Hmmm... If we're gonna go that route, I'd rather hit [[Characters]]. Games could use with a bit of improved formatting or something. '''[[User talk:Thunderbird L17|⇔]][[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]][/wiki/Special:Contributions/Thunderbird_L17 ⇔]''' 23:37, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Again, I'm down with [[Limozeen]]. —[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]|[[User talk:FireBird|Talk]] 23:42, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I think characters would be a little strange to do.  Limozeen is good.  Maybe [[Dangeresque]]? [[User:Rogue Leader|Rogue Leader]] / ([[User talk:Rogue Leader|my talk]])  23:48, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Hmmm... [[Limozeen]] or [[Dangeresque]]. Or... Maybe with the recent revival, [[The Cheat Commandos]]? I think any of the three would do, but if we pick Cheat Commandos, I wouldn't mind moving moving it ahead a week, switching with [[Free Country, USA]]. '''[[User talk:Thunderbird L17|⇔]][[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]][/wiki/Special:Contributions/Thunderbird_L17 ⇔]'''

I was thinking [[The Cheat Commandos]] since we haven't seen them for a while...

Great, sounds good to me. Then I'm thinking we move it to next week, and bump [[Free Country, USA]] to this week. Unless there are any objections, I'll get on it sometime tonight most likely. '''[[User talk:Thunderbird L17|⇔]][[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]][/wiki/Special:Contributions/Thunderbird_L17 ⇔]'''

Made base, but the paragraph needs more, somehow. '''[[User talk:Thunderbird L17|⇔]][[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]][/wiki/Special:Contributions/Thunderbird_L17 ⇔]''' 15:34, 17 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Okay, I think it's presentable now. Is that the correct usage of 'rehashing'? '''[[User talk:Thunderbird L17|⇔]][[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]][/wiki/Special:Contributions/Thunderbird_L17 ⇔]''' 23:04, 19 Sep 2005 (UTC)
