HRWiki:Featured article for 2010, week 11 (Mar 15-21)

Atari Strong Bad, Lil' Strong Bad, or Atari Homestar. RickTommy 12:20, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

You really couldn't have waited another, what, twelve hours so that you would have stayed within ten weeks as we've asked you to several times now?

As for your suggestions, both Atari articles are too short. Lil' SB might be a possibility. Heimstern Läufer 13:51, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2010, week 12 (Mar 22-28)

Marzipan's House? RickTommy 02:48, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Senor Mortgage? RickTommy 00:07, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

I don't know, it's too short. MHarrington 03:58, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

The original idea of featuring Marzipan's house might work better. It seems to have a decent amount of text, and we haven't done a place in a while now (not since the Movie Theater toward the end of last year). Heimstern Läufer 04:12, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2010, week 13 (Mar 29-Apr 4)

It's April Fools' Day, so how about homestarrunner.com Pay Plus? RickTommy 02:48, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

I think we should do something that was proposed long ago: Sbemailiarized!. MHarrington 04:23, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Quick question: do you mean Sbemailiarized! or April Fool 09? RickTommy talk 05:25, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Ummm... RickTommy talk 09:42, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Sbemailiarized. Actually, I will do Sbemailiarized Entertainment. MHarrington 16:43, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2010, week 14 (Apr 5-11)

It's Easter (well, it actually was last week), so how about either Eggs or Rotten Eggs? RickTommy 00:05, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

We're getting a little ahead here. But anyways, I don't think we did either of them. Eggs may not have much of a write-up. That'sBupkis! 00:13, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

How about to change things up we put easter eggs as the featured article? Just an idea.--safariventureman 02:01, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

I think anything with the word "egg" in it will work. Maybe even Eggs (Running gag) could work Rondleman! Stuff I did.Talk. 22:03 16 February, 2010 (UTC)

No, it's way too short. MHarrington 16:01, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Why are we even looking at Easter toons for this week when the article won't even come up until the day after Easter? This would really make more sense some other year when Easter and April Fool's Day don't conflict. Heimstern Läufer 08:49, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Well, back in 2007, we had a similar situation, when we were supposed to feature Matt Chapman on his birthday, but that had to be moved to the following week since it coincided with Hallowe'en. RickTommy 07:56, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Matt Chapman's birthday and H'ween will always conflict since they occur on the same day every year. By contrast, Easter is a moveable feast, and in future years, this conflict won't always happen. Heimstern Läufer 08:01, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

There doesn't seem to be any worty articles nominated at all here, since I also agree with what Heimy said. I'd like to suggest the Corpy NT6. My reasoning would be because from work, the email done, erm, at work, was released on the 9th, which falls into this week. StrongAwesome 22:27, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

The Corpy would probably work, I think. MHarrington 00:32, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2010, week 15 (Apr 12-18)

It's Cheatday, so how about cheatday? RickTommy 05:20, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

It seems like you have decided that the limit is 11 weeks, as opposed to 10, which you have been reminded of repeatedly. But cheatday sounds like a good idea. StrongAwesome 12:17, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, that'd be a good idea. MHarrington 07:41, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

It's a tad early after having just featured a sbemail (assuming best thing or geddup noise goes through above). Still, it is fitting for the day. Heimstern Läufer 08:51, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

I guess cheatday would fit, even though it has been a shade recent for to do another SBEmail. MHarrington 18:31, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2010, week 16 (Apr 19-25)

How about either Pom Pilot or Corpy NT6? Or, since it's Earth Day, Pistols for Pandas? RickTommy 10:34, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

They both have sufficient text amounts, but not really enough appearances. And as for P4P, no comment. MHarrington 07:41, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

I think the Corpy's not so bad (partly because of the gallery), but Pom Pilot does seem to me to be too short. P4P could be done, though I do kind of get the feeling we're doing too much recent stuff these days maybe. Heimstern Läufer 07:55, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

If we're going to talk about P4P, we should do the organization itself before we do the toon. MHarrington 18:30, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Since we're already doing the Corpy NT6, that and Pom Pilot are out. Pistols For Pandas (organization) certainly could work. As lateral move, we could also do bike thief. wbwolf (t | ed) 01:27, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2010, week 17 (Apr 26-May 2)

For this week, how about something "live"? I'm thinking the the SXSW Panel from March 14, 2005. Combine the intro with a summary of the script and it would work, I think. MHarrington 07:41, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Certainly would be good to something real-world. Yeah, I think that would work, from what I can see in the article. Maybe might be good to prepare the writeup a bit early so we can be sure it works (note: not saying right now. Just sometime as it gets closer.) Heimstern Läufer 07:49, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

I am not disagreeing with that article at all; in fact, I think that it would be great to do something real-life, seeing as how we haven't in a while. But, perhaps out of my silliness and stupidity, I feel that The Couch should be featured for this specific week. StrongAwesome 18:55, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Good idea. The Couch. RickTommy (edits) 10:44, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

What about the couch? --Essence of Ghost Water 12:35, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Glad you asked. First off, it is a pretty decent article, but for what inspired me to nominate it would be Opti's post here. Call me stupid, but since Opti never recommended an article, and he doesn't come here often nowadays, The Couch is in his sig. StrongAwesome 19:25, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

I think The Couch would be great to have on the front page for a while... Not only is it a well-written artical, it also makes the Main Page more appealing and comfy! (no, but seriously it is a great article) nova scotia 19:54, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

So what should be done for today? MHarrington 15:12, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

The Couch would make an excellent FA; let's go with that. wbwolf (t | ed) 18:15, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

I am soooo glad the couch got picked for this week! What a good choice! I only just remembered this edit of mine from 2008, and I couldn't have picked a better article myself! =] OptimisticFool 02:37, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
