=== HRWiki:Featured article for 2007, week 1 (Jan 1-7) ===

This has been [[HRWiki:Featured Article Selection/Discussion Archive 2006 Weeks 31-40|suggested]] before — [[Cold One]]? --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 15:11, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

What about[[Happy Fireworks]]???? That seems to fit the occassion/ocassion/occasion/however it's spelled. I'm pretty sure more than just the USA celebrate New Years with Fireworks. And the toon is pretty much not clear what time of year this is supposed to be (even tho we know it came out in July). It's nominated and seems apropriate. Anyone agree?--https://web.archive.org/web/20211001000000im_/http://www.hrwiki.org/w/images/6/60/Stinkwing.gif [[User:Bleed0range|'''»Bleed0range«''']] 19:56, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
Meh, I'd rather not feature it on New Year's Eve. The Cold One page is good and I'm surprized it's not already featured. '''''— [[User:Elcool|Elcool]]'''''[[User talk:Elcool|(talk)]][/wiki/Special:Contributions/Elcool (contribs)] 20:15, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
Actually, thinking it through... I now see how The Cold One page can apply to New Years. lol. Ok, I vote on that too. It's a good idea.--https://web.archive.org/web/20211001000000im_/http://www.hrwiki.org/w/images/6/60/Stinkwing.gif [[User:Bleed0range|'''»Bleed0range«''']] 20:31, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
You guys might find this funny, but [[Cold Ones]] ''was'' going to be the featured article for the new year last year (this year). But due to technical bumbs in the road last year, [[Homestar Runner]] got bumped up early. I do not anticipate those problems this year. Jan 1, 2007 falls exactly on the start of MediaWiki's week 1. It won't be until 2018 when that happens again. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 20:48, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
Re:Happy Fireworks: I do think we should do this for July 4th of 2007. We kind of meant to do it this year, and somehow it didn't work out right. [[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]] https://web.archive.org/web/20211001000000im_/http://www.hrwiki.org/w/images/thumb/0/08/heimstern101.gif/20px-heimstern101.gif 21:31, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
I like [[Cold Ones]]. And it's already [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2006, week 1|written up]] anyways. (The reason it got bumped last year was we were hoping the system would make "2006, week 1" start and end on Sunday the 1st. Instead it just overlapped "2005, week 52" to Sunday the first, then started week 1 on Monday. So we hastily bumped Homestar up to week 1, making him the first full feature of the year, and we didn't get around to picking another good time for cold ones). In any case, let's do it this year.

=== HRWiki:Featured article for 2007, week 2 (Jan 8-14) ===

What about [[Rather Dashing]] as a featured article? Everyone's favorite hero in short pants? That or we could do [[Naked Ned]], which is a little more obscure. January always reminds me of them releasing the PQ Trailer, but that's already been featured before. --https://web.archive.org/web/20211001000000im_/http://www.hrwiki.org/w/images/6/60/Stinkwing.gif [[User:Bleed0range|'''»Bleed0range«''']] 20:51, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

I had a better idea, why don't we do [[Stinkoman]] as a featured article for the month of January? I was surprised it hasn't been done yet. Then maybe next month (February) we could feature [[1-Up|1-UP]]? Both articles have quite a bit of information and are interesting.--https://web.archive.org/web/20211001000000im_/http://www.hrwiki.org/w/images/6/60/Stinkwing.gif [[User:Bleed0range|'''»Bleed0range«''']] 03:56, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
Stinky may need a cleanup. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 15:03, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
Stinkoman sounds great to me. This year, our main focus, character-wise, has been on the main characters; that's probably why we haven't gotten to Stinkoman yet. If he needs cleanup, by all means, do it. It's a wiki! [[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]] https://web.archive.org/web/20211001000000im_/http://www.hrwiki.org/w/images/thumb/0/08/heimstern101.gif/20px-heimstern101.gif 23:23, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
Hmm, too bad this article couldn't come up on 6 January, which is Stinkoman's birthday... that'd be even better than a Stinkoman-shaped pancake. But I guess we can give him a belated birthday present this year. [[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]] https://web.archive.org/web/20211001000000im_/http://www.hrwiki.org/w/images/thumb/0/08/heimstern101.gif/20px-heimstern101.gif 00:03, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

We should do Stinkoman the week before and do Cold Ones this week. That would make sense. [[User:Salty|'''S''']][[User:Salty|'''a''']][[User:Salty|'''l''']][[User:Salty|'''t''']][[User:Salty|'''y''']][[User talk:Salty|'''T''']][[User talk:Salty|'''a''']][[User talk:Salty|'''l''']][[User talk:Salty|'''k''']][[User talk:Salty|'''!''']] 23:20, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, the reason for doing Cold Ones the week before is so they could line up with New Year's Day. You know, the whole alcohol-New Year's connection? [[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]] https://web.archive.org/web/20211001000000im_/http://www.hrwiki.org/w/images/thumb/0/08/heimstern101.gif/20px-heimstern101.gif 23:23, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
I think it's more important to feature Cold Ones for the New Years. But, it's only a few days off from Stinky's birthday. It would still be in the month of his birthday, and no one wants to see Cold Ones brushed off again. I likes it.--https://web.archive.org/web/20211001000000im_/http://www.hrwiki.org/w/images/6/60/Stinkwing.gif [[User:Bleed0range|'''»Bleed0range«''']] 07:28, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

=== HRWiki:Featured article for 2007, week 3 (Jan 15-21) ===

How about we do one of those weeks where we feature daily articles? Specifically, a week devoted to some of the old games. A while ago, someone suggested featuring Strong Libs, but some people objected on the grounds that there's not much content to it. If we feature these articles for only a day, it's not such a problem if there's less content because it's only there for one day.

These are the games I was thinking of (most of which have had at least one reference in the modern era of H*R): 

* [[Strong Libs]] 
* [[Dancin' Bubs]] 
* [[Homestar Talker]] 
* [[Hairstyle Runner]] 
* [[Spin 'n Say]] [[Audition with Marzipan]] 
* [[Fortune Cookies]] 
* [[Homestar Quiz]] 

[[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]] https://web.archive.org/web/20211001000000im_/http://www.hrwiki.org/w/images/thumb/0/08/heimstern101.gif/20px-heimstern101.gif 23:35, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[[Bug In Mouth Disease]]? It's been [[HRWiki:Featured Article Selection/Discussion Archive 2006 Weeks 21-30|suggested before]] and had a lot of support, although ultimately consensus went to [[Cool Things]]. [[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]] https://web.archive.org/web/20211001000000im_/http://www.hrwiki.org/w/images/thumb/0/08/heimstern101.gif/20px-heimstern101.gif 00:34, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Any toon what stars [[The Bug|a bug]] is cool by me. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
Well, even though it's been made and my opinion will probably be ignored/not cared about/deleted/removed by a vandal, methinks it's a good idea. [[User:Bluebry|'''Bl'''uebry]] 20:03, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

=== HRWiki:Featured article for 2007, week 5 (Jan 29-Feb 4) ===

[[Everything Else]]? We've featured [[strongbad email.exe]], and [[Everything Else, Volume 2|Vol. 2]] was just released, and it seems like a good article. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 01:17, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

The content is a bit on the short side, but we could probably make it work. [[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]] https://web.archive.org/web/20211001000000im_/http://www.hrwiki.org/w/images/thumb/0/08/heimstern101.gif/20px-heimstern101.gif 22:48, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

=== HRWiki:Featured article for 2007, week 6 (Feb 5-11) ===

Seeing that the [[Super Bowl XLI|Super Bowl]]'s this week, [[Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer]] or [[Superbowl Dealie]] seems like a no-brainer. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 01:17, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[[Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer]] seems more suitable to me, as it's got substantially more content. After a little calculating and researching on the internet, it looks to me like the Superbowl starts at 11 PM UTC, so this would come up an hour later, which I imagine would put it not all that far from halftime. [[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]] https://web.archive.org/web/20211001000000im_/http://www.hrwiki.org/w/images/thumb/0/08/heimstern101.gif/20px-heimstern101.gif 05:49, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

How about [[Strong Sad's Lament]]. It has the only Valentines Day reference. --[[User:Theyellowdart|Theyellowdart]] 08:37, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Already been featured. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

[[Thy Dungeonman (character)]] or [[Ye Flask]]. Awesome articles. '''''— [[User:Elcool|Elcool]]'''''[[User talk:Elcool|(talk)]][/wiki/Special:Contributions/Elcool (contribs)] 11:11, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Well... how about... [[Strong Sad's Secret Styles|The Secrets That I Keep]]. That's probably the least-known H*R toon. Like, most people have never even seen it. --[[User:Theyellowdart|'''TheYellowDart''']]—[[User talk:Theyellowdart|'''(t''']]/[/wiki/Special:Contributions/Theyellowdart '''c)'''].
Oooohhh, I like [[Strong Sad's Secret Styles|The Secrets That I Keep]] double link'd! [[User:Bluebry|'''Bl'''uebry]] 19:24, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Is there enough content in the article? It's good and all, but Elcool's suggestions do provide a lot more content.

Woah. From now on, I ''look'' at the articles I'm voting for <embarrassment>(Heh heh)</embarrassment>. Yeah, [[Ye Flask]], totally. [[User:Bluebry|'''Bl'''uebry]] 01:16, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
It looks like there could be some more info added to Secrets..., but If we can't, Ye Flask is good too. --[[User:Theyellowdart|'''TheYellowDart''']]—[[User talk:Theyellowdart|'''(t''']]/[/wiki/Special:Contributions/Theyellowdart '''c)'''].
I vote Thy Dungeonman. I think we should first feature that guy before we try to feature his flask. — [[User:Has Matt?|'''''Has Matt?''''']] [[User talk:Has Matt?|'''(talk)''']] 13:26, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
It looks like we have consensus to feature either [[Thy Dungeonman (character)]] or [[Ye Flask]], but I'm not seeing any clear consensus as to which of these two we should go for. Anyone who's interested should consider commenting to help us determine consensus.

Hmm... I vote for [[Ye Flask]] — more recognizable and I think the article's more interesting to read. [[User talk:Trey56|https://web.archive.org/web/20211001000000im_/http://www.hrwiki.org/w/images/thumb/3/33/The-cheat-small.png/20px-The-cheat-small.png]][[User:Trey56|'''''Trey''''''''''56''''']] 07:15, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Yeah. Go with the Flask. Vital idea to the whole series, whereas I suspect the Dungeonman is different every time. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
Consensus is not clear here, but as we have less than 24 hours before this goes live, I'm calling in favor of [[Ye Flask]] because there is a greater amount of support for this article. To those who preferred [[Thy Dungeonman (character)]], consider nominating this article again in the future. It would probably make a great FA.

=== HRWiki:Featured article for 2007, week 8 (Feb 19-25) ===

Howsabout we do [[Songs]] here? Or better yet, [[Songs By Character]]! I've worked that article up to its fullest (I hope) and it seems like a decent topic. Thoughts? -[[User:Brightstar Shiner|''Brightstar Shiner'']] 20:06, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

I've never really been sure how we could make a list work as a featured article, just because there's never enough prose to make for a good read on the main page, and because it's usually hard to summarize a list the way you can summarize a transcript. Of course, if you can think of a way, I'd be glad to hear it, I just can't think of any way myself. [[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]] https://web.archive.org/web/20211001000000im_/http://www.hrwiki.org/w/images/thumb/0/08/heimstern101.gif/20px-heimstern101.gif 08:13, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Maybe we could say something like, "The Homestar Runner universe has a variety of songs in the toons, ranging from Homestar's on-the-spot Bread Song to the famous [[Trogdor (song)|Trogdor]] that has appeared as a playable bonus tune on Guitar Hero II. Many of these songs blah blah blah..." you get the point. If this doesn't work out, that's okay. I just wanted to throw out an article that I worked on heavily so that I could be as proud as when [[Integral Article]] (I created it and spruced it up sufficiently) was featured. -[[User:Brightstar Shiner|''Brightstar Shiner'']] 16:45, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
I wanna see either [[Sightings]] or [[Secret Pages]]. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 18:08, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
About Sightings: Eww! No. No no no... No! those bunches of pages are messed up, un-consistent, and full of speculations. About Secret Pages: I like it, nice idea and one of the most visited pages on the wiki. '''''— [[User:Elcool|Elcool]]'''''[[User talk:Elcool|(talk)]][/wiki/Special:Contributions/Elcool (contribs)] 21:37, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree, Secret Pages is good. And Sightings could be... disastrous. [[User:Bluebry|'''Bl'''uebry]] 21:40, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
I fourth that opinion. If anything, [[Sightings]] should be deleted. As Bluebry said, it's a complete disaster. So much of the information is unverifyable, almost none of it complies to standards, and some of the links are [[Animation Sightings|just plain wrong]] and never deserve to be in a featured article. — [[User:Lapper|Lapper]] ([[User talk:Lapper|talk]])
Is [[Secret Pages]] really workable as an FA? To me, it seems like another list, and I've aleady suggested the problems I see with featuring a list. Could someone at least give me an idea of what a writeup for that article might look like? [[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]] https://web.archive.org/web/20211001000000im_/http://www.hrwiki.org/w/images/thumb/0/08/heimstern101.gif/20px-heimstern101.gif 23:30, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm sorry, but who are you again? Please don't forget to sign your posts. He has now. Anyway, [[Secret Pages]] would work just fine, I think. It's not so much a list as it is a collection of smaller mini-pages that are fully explained and interesting, so this looks to be a suitable option. -[[User:Brightstar Shiner|''Brightstar Shiner'']] 23:29, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
Actually, I agree with Heimstern. Secret Pages IS more like a list...are there any articles about secret pages that haven't been used? Those would be good. [[User:Bluebry|'''Bl'''uebry]] 01:57, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
What do you mean by "about Secret Pages"? Like the actual articles that are linked to from that page? -[[User:Brightstar Shiner|''Brightstar Shiner'']] 14:58, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, you know a secret page article that's not, well, you know, [[Secret Pages]]. Maybe, uh...[[Email Processing Room]]? It hasn't been done yet. [[User:Bluebry|'''Bl'''uebry]] 19:11, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Gotcha. Have we done [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]]? That's a bigger toon (?) than [[Email Processing Room]], but we don't want ''too'' many options here. -[[User:Brightstar Shiner|''Brightstar Shiner'']] 20:44, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, 1-Up's good. Hasn't been featured, good article, it'd do well. [[User:Bluebry|'''Bl'''uebry]] 23:11, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeh. I can't see why not. Although, I've never really "understood" that topic. I guess it's just stories by Strong Bad, AKA stuff he made up watching Miami Vice reruns.
