As this is the week of Valentine's Day, I was thinking we could do either [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 6.0]] or maybe the big toon [[Date Nite]]. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:56, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

This is a placeholder topic for 5-year redirects.  Due to overall decreased activity, FAs are now being reused more often.  The common practice has become to redirect to the FA exactly 5 years prior to the current FA.  When an article is re-used, mark it in the following manner:
-
:That would be interesting, wouldn't it? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 07:14, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

For this week, we should feature someone who is long overdue for a featured article: [[Marshie]]. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 22:33, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:Marshie has already been featured. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 03:28, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
+
-
::This is the week where winter turns to spring... and I suggest we celebrate that by featuring [[The Luau]], a very spring-ish toon that I've always held high respect for. {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 05:25, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:::Oh, right. I forgot. Never mind. Anyway, how about doing instead [[Strong Bad smiling]]? That one has a sufficient amount of text. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:23, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
+
-
::::[[The Luau]] is long long overdue to being featured.  In many ways, it marked the beginning of the modern H*R era, so it's very significant. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 03:11, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:::::What if we did that one before this spring is up? We would've just already done a big toon for Valentine's Day, if we go that route. How about doing something like, say, [[Strong Badman]], instead? He, too, is long overdue. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:37, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
+
-
::::::Hmm, good point.  I realized that after I posted my support.  [[The Luau]] does need to be done soon (maybe later in March, week 12 or so?), so we could do Badman, since it's been a while since we've done a variation. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 06:57, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:::::::I think Strong Badman would be a good idea, and then do the Luau sometime in March. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 10:39, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
+
-
::::::::I actually think it'd be a good idea to do [[Strong Bad Smiling]], as that is a bit more prominant in the H*R universe. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 00:30, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:::::::::I think we should finish the cleanup thing before featuring Strong Bad Smiling.  When did it stop being out of character for Strong Bad? {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 20:50, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
+
-
::::::::::I can't see the part that needs cleanup. Some folks say there needs to be less screenshots, but I folks say that really isn't in need of cleanup. If it gets to be an FA, there will be less debate, so if we go with this, it won't need cleanup any more. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 00:43, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:::::::::::There's some amount of controversy as to whether the article should even exist, you see, since Strong Bad smiling has become much more common than in the past. I still think Strong Badman is a better way to go. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:46, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
+
-
::::::::::::Strong Badman would be nice. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 06:02, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:But Strong Badman has only 2 non-easter egg website appearences. I don't think that Strong Bad Smiling is too prominent- if it's less than 50% of the time, it's not frequent. A few instances in a row isn't enough to delete it, and if it gets to be an FA, then that would be the end to the controversy. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 15:22, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
+
-
::But if there's so much controversy, it might not deserve to be a Featured Article. It would be like if "Awesome" was still around, and people still failed to find the notability, so I featured that just to shut everyone up.  It just doesn't seem logical or fair (I can't find the right word now) to me. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 15:50, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:::I still feel that Smiling is more significant, but we're running out of room here. Let's go with Strong Badman. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 16:41, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

This week, let's do either [[Arrow'd Guy]] or [[The Ugly One]]. Take your pick. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 16:38, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:We could do Arrow'd Guy and do The Ugly One later in the year, like around Week 20 or so. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 19:45, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
+
-
::Grood. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 20:19, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:::Why Arrow'd Guy first when we haven't finished featuring all the girls (the actual central characters) first? Mind you, I do think we should feature both this year, but I'd support The Ugly One first. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:19, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
+
-
::::I think it's a little early yet to do a TGS character for the moment, so why don't we do a [[Cheat Commandos]] character instead? I'm thinking [[Fightgar]]. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:47, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:::::I'm thinking it's ''not'' early, it's been months since we'd done anything TGS-related, so why not? {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 22:16, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
+
-
::::::It'll have been over three months since we did anything TGS-related, so it's not too early. Then again, it will have been longer since we did CC, so I think we could go either way. Maybe some others (i.e., not me, MHarrington or That game dude) could weigh in to help us form a consensus? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:38, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:::::::I'm liking [[The Ugly One]] for this week.  She has style.  {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 06:34, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
+
-
::::::::The Duck has Spoke Anne! We do Teh Ugly One! {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 21:58, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:::::::::Sounds cool to me. Arrow'd Guy would be most appropriate for our next TGS character we feature, though. We may also want to consider featuring a TGS episode between now and then. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 11:36, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

+
:''Discussions in this section regard articles that, per consensus, require further expansion of the article itself before the article should be featured.''
-
:How 'bout... THE 2009 WEEK OF ALL OF THE ROOMS IN THE HOUSE OF STRONG EXTRAVAGANZA!!!!!!!! Or at least the first 7. {{User:Don't say jorb 101/sig}}
+
-
::How do we do that? Let's do Storybook World or [[email thunder]]. {{User:Raiku/sig}} 06:17, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:::Yeah, we should definitely do [[email thunder]] sometime this year, but not yet. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:45, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
+
-
::::A response to Raiku: they only do this a few times per year, but sometimes,instead of a weekly featured article, they have a daily featured article, where every day there's a new one. They usually are related, hence the "THE 2009 WEEK OF ALL OF THE ROOMS IN THE HOUSE OF STRONG EXTRAVAGANZA!!!!!!!!" {{User:Don't say jorb 101/sig}}
+
-
:::::That's not what- nevermind. I'd rather do Storybook. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 22:38, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
+
-
::::::And on top of that, Raiku, we've done the [[Computer Room]] already, if I remember correctly. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:14, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:::::::Eh well, Storybook's a bit short, but it's significant, so why not. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:21, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

-
::::::::Seems a bit TOO short for an FA in my opinion. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 06:23, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

-
:::::::::What if instead of the rather short Storybook World, we do [[The Homestar Runner Enters the Strongest Man in the World Contest]]?  {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 06:32, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

:::::The prose introduction for Eh, Steve! as it stands is really too short for an FA. Anyone think we could expand that? I agree it's a very worthy topic, but it's not really ready for featuring right now. We still have nearly two months until this week; can someone remedy that? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 08:59, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

::::::Well, then, why not a [[Cheat Commandos]] character? It's been a while since we've done one. I'm thinking maybe either [[Fightgar]] or [[Silent Rip]]. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 00:05, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

:::::::Fightgar works well. I'm all for it. {{User:DrPepper42/sig}} 02:07, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

-
::::::::Adding more "oomph" to the Eh, Steve! article isn't that big of a challenge.  I could probably do it this afternoon or something. Let's just stick to the consensus we've reached here and put off Fightgar for a different week. {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 01:19, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

I think for this week, we should do [[The King of Town DVD]], one of the ''earliest'' big toons on the entire site! [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 17:48, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

-
:Yes... an early '''''big''''' toon... *ahem* -still, it is important, in it's own way. No objections. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 20:58, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

::KOT's DVD sounds pretty good.  {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 00:25, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

:::Strong Bad's commentary on that one is still a classic bit of Strong Bad comedy. We could mention that in the writeup, probably. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 10:52, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

I think for this week, we should have [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 14.2]], in which one of the messages, from [[Strong Sad]], is on April Fools' Day pranks. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:59, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:Well, since this ''is'' April Fool's week, [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 14.2|and, um, we should... crap. What was that one article? I was gonna mention that one article on something... about... something... Aw, nevermind. If I think of it, I won't call you back.]] {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 21:04, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

::That is still one of the most bizarre messages Marzy's ever gotten. I'm all about Main Paging it. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 10:51, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

I think it's finally time to feature [[email thunder]]. With full-length hremails about, I think we should feature their origin. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 16:45, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:Well, while I do agree that email thunder needs to be featured soon, I think that, this week, with it supposedly being Spring Break for many people, we should do [[The Luau]], something that a lot of people have been clamoring for. Maybe we can do email thunder next week. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 01:13, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::Yes, this week seems quite a bit better for [[The Luau]] than the one I proposed.  I'm all for it.  {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 06:31, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Redirects

This is a placeholder topic for 5-year redirects. Due to overall decreased activity, FAs are now being reused more often. The common practice has become to redirect to the FA exactly 5 years prior to the current FA. When an article is re-used, mark it in the following manner: 

{{FA queue|<date>|Redirects|alternatediscussion=yes|decision=<article name>}}

Example: 

{{FA queue|15 Aug 2011 |Redirects|alternatediscussion=yes|decision=1-Up}}

Please keep this discussion in the FA page at all times, but do copy it to archive pages as well.
