[[The King of Town's Castle]] or [[House of the Brothers Strong]], anyone? --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 15:27, 26 January 2007 (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:
-
:I like House of the Brothers Strong. It's more organized, is seen more often on the site and is probably more important in the H*R universe. Not that I don't like the Castle, I just think that the House should be featured first. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 13:40, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
+
<pre>
-
::Yeah, of the two, the Brothers' House article is closer to being ready to be featured.  More info and more central to the Homestar Runner universe. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 16:43, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
+
{{FA queue|<date>|Redirects|alternatediscussion=yes|decision=<article name>}}
-
:::Out of the main places (see the [[Places]] page), [[The Stick]] is the only one not featured, and for a good reason: If have hardly any info in it! I'm starting a talk there for people to add more info. If it's ready in two weeks time, then let's feature it. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 09:09, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't think we've featured a sbemail yet this year. Maybe [[rock opera]]? --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 15:27, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
+
-
:Depending on the regularity of Strong Bad Emails, it is slightly possible that it might be almost time for email #173 by this time. It might not be until May or June though, or even later. In any case, I would like to see [[montage]] appropriately setup for the featured Strong Bad email of the spring, and used the week after the release of email #171 or so, just so that we're not left behind schedule if TBC decide to begin #173 an email early, and continue into another email story arc. That way we'll bring to light the long ago prophecy of [[The Paper]]'s retirement to those who may have been unaware or forgotten it. I bring this up so we don't have [[rock opera]] and [[montage]] featured right near each other. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 07:48, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
+
==Article discussions==
-
::Well, why don't we wait this one out a bit and see where we are by mid-March or so; i.e., what number of sbemails we're at by then. Then we can make a better-informed decision. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 20:25, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
+
-
:::After last week's MAM and the KOT VOQPCS the week before, I think we're safe to wait this one out a bit more. If we get sbemails from here on out, we'll be at 171 by this point. Maybe this week we could feature [[Pan Pan]], as some have suggested? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:39, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
+
-
::::Still too soon for a 20X6 character. How about a <s>1936</s> [[Old-Timey]]? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 22:57, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
+
-
:::::Why do that when we haven't finished 20X6? (If indeed we want to feature Pan Pan at all, which we may not.) {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 16:08, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
+
-
::::::Like I said before, there aren't many notable 20X6 characters. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 02:07, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
+
-
:::::::Is this debate still active? We're coming all up on the end of the week, but it doesn't seem like anything's been decided yet.
+
-
:::::::Anyway, I would agree that we should feature a 20X6 character, but it seems to soon considering there was a 7-week gap between Stinkoman and 1-Up, while if we featured another 20X6 character now, there would only be a 5-week gap. I vote for an Old-Timey character, specifically [[The Sneak]]. &mdash; {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 16:28, 31 March 2007
+
== Discussions of Articles Needing Expansion ==
-
::::::::I'm neutral. People need to sing to the same chord quick, or we're keeping last week's featured article on the main page for the time being. Or at least until someone chooses an article by themself. Or at least until ''I'' choose an article by myself. Please don't make me do that. Pan Pan or The Sneak? Tell what U think. &mdash;[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 23:24, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
+
:''Discussions in this section regard articles that, per consensus, require further expansion of the article itself before the article should be featured.''
-
I'll go with the Sneak. Sam already fixed up the article a little bit, so it's a perfect candidate. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 23:26, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
+
-
:I like that idea (The Sneak) &mdash; although I don't follow FAS enough to know how important the continuity of the 20X6 character featuring is. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:28, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
+
-
::I don't like making the length of the article a big factor, but seriously, The Sneak is only a paragraph long. The entirety of the article would probably be on the Main Page. That doesn't seem good to me. Pan Pan isn't that great either, but at least it would require the reader to click on the link to read the whole thing. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}}
+
-
:::True, but I think only half of that would go on the main page. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 23:37, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
+
-
::::Half of what? The Sneak? If only half of that goes on the Main Page, it would be too short. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}}
+
-
::::I've gone ahead and set up [[The Sneak]], even though I disagree with featuring it (Like Has Matt?, I think it is too short for a featured article). If anyone could expand the article, it would really help. Thanks. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:43, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
+
-
:::::Well, if you believe Pan Pan would be better, I'm okay with that. TO be honest, We really do need to decide, and it's better to have it on one side than a tie. So, I'm okay with Pan Pan. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 23:48, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
+
-
::::::Now that we got the discussion going again, I can see that The Sneak is not a very good choice at its current length. Pan Pan seems hhhaaallllright. &mdash;[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 23:52, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
+
-
:::::::After seeing Joe's edit, I have taken the liberty of changing it to Pan Pan. Enjoy. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 23:54, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
+
-
::::::::Okay, Pan Pan's got a lot more info, and it's interesting, and it's 11:58 PM.  Let's stay with it! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:59, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

:I don't think that's a good idea. The death of the TBC's father is essentially a family issue, and I don't think it's our position to make a memorial on the anniversary of this event. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:10, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

::Do you have any better ideas?  What's wrong with remembering him?  MAy his legacy last forever... like Steve Irwin!  {{User:Theyellowdart/sig}}

:::Nothing's wrong with remembering him. But it's a little intrusive to put up a memorial-esque FA of him, as Heimstern said. Especially since they never even announced this officially. It's going to be a tough week for the family, and we shouldn't be showcasing it this week no matter how nice we make it look. &mdash;[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 01:28, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

-
:::::::Yeah, the band. And also, Theyellowdart, we don't HAVE to feature things around the time they were released. (I assume by August, you meant Cool Tapes first appearance ;-)) {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 05:58, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

:::::::::::Hm, I dunno: it's just that Da Vinci's notebook has only contributed to one toon.  But in the vein of contributors, what about someone like [[Craig Zobel]]? He even helped direct some of the toons, which a lot of people might not know. As a side note, I think that [[Contributors]] could make a great featured article someday, but right now it's too much of a list. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 17:03, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

::::::::::::Coach Z seems a little on the short side. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 19:31, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

-
:::::::::::::Craig Zobel (Assuming by Coach Z you mean Craig Zobel)? Nah, it's a good length. Like that fish I totally caught that was like 20 feet. But, uh, while it seems to be a good medium length article, DaVinci's Notebook seems to be a really good article for some sort of feature. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 01:13, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

-
:OK, it's crunch time...so the contenders are DaVinci's Notebook, Cool Tapes, and possibly...Craig Zobel? Which shall it be then since it's now time to decide. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 00:55, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

::I almost forgot [[DaVinci's Notebook]] even existed. I say to go with that one. It's something many people probably don't know about. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 00:55, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Now that this week's FA is finally out of the way, I'm going to suggest [[Cool Tapes]] for next week. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 01:30, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Wow, no one has proposed anything on this yet? How about [[Physiology of The Cheat]]? ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 17:06, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
 
-
:Hmm, interesting article, and obscure... might work, though it looks to me like it would need some cleanup. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 02:04, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 
-
::Physiology of The Cheat is pretty good, but a lot of it is just speculation. It is really interesting, though. I never get tired of reading that kind of stuff. Just throwing an idea out here for yous guys to comment on: [[Action Cool 5]]. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 02:07, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 
-
:::I was actually surprised how much of Physiology article ''wasn't'' speculation, but rather a detailed exposition of the sketch from [[big white face]]. I've removed a few sections that were more speculatory, though. I'm not sold on the idea of featuring that article, but it's still a thought. Action Cool 5 could probably be good, too. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:02, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 
-
::::I like what you did with that article. Now it's still really interesting, but with much less speculation. I would feel pretty comfortable with making that our featured article. Anyone else want to contribute their thoughts? {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 00:08, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
 
-
:::::As interesting as it is, methinks it needs a reword or two. I might do it myself, I might watch X-Play. Who knows? But, seriously, methinks we can do '''Action Cool 5''' well. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 19:40, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

[[Fhqwhgads]], perhaps? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 02:27, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 
-
:Sounds good to me &mdash; it has a lot of components that a featured article should:
 
-
:*Importance to the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work
 
-
:*Good length
 
-
:*Hasn't been featured yet

Since we've featured all the 20X6 characters that could reasonably be featured, perhaps [[The Homestar Runner]]? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 02:17, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 
-
:It would be cool if it was a little bit longer, but he is of central importance to the [[Old-Timey]] cartoons. Maybe tomorrow I'll see if I could add some more info about The Homestar Runner. For now, I'm neutral. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 02:26, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 
-
::Wow! I'm surprised '''[[Trogador]]''' isn't a featured aricle. I propose we use Trogador. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 22:54, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
 
-
:::That article is pretty brief, looks a bit too short for an FA. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:04, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
 
-
::::Wow! I'm also surprised that '''[[Podstar Runner]]''' isn't a featured article. Anybody agree? {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
 
-
:::::Ooh, you're right! That would make a great featured article. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 11:49, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 
-
::::::Umm, it appears there's been an oversight. Podstar actually [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2006, week 27|has been featured]]. Someone forgot to tag it as such, though. So yeah, good idea, but already done. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 15:31, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

'''[[montage]].''' This one will require a bit of timing, and thus could be moved up or back depending on TBC's schedule, but we should feature this email when the release of email #173 is imminent. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:20, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 
-
 
-
:Ooooh... montage on #email 173... I like it, but I believe the featured article changes on Sundays, and email #173 should be out most likely on either a Monday or Tuesday... So, I'd like to see it happen, but it may be too hard to do. If so, a rough estimate should suffice. I'm taking a wild random guess that estimate is somewhere around here. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 01:25, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 
-
 
-
::Well, it looks like #173 isn't going to happen by this week, but just a note about releasing montage alongside it: after #172 is out and we anticipate that #173 might be released, we could always wait 24 hours or so to begin that week's Featured Article. That is, have montage and another one ready, and begin the FA as soon as it's evident what the new update is going to be. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 13:15, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 
-
 
-
:::'Tis genius, I say! However, if there are three emails released in a row, I see this: Monday April 30, #171, Monday May 7, #172, and then Monday May 14, #173. Now, I estimate that it will be this week, or in the two weeks after, so to be honest, next week is a fairly good spot. But we'll adapt and plan around it.
 
-
 
-
:::But, if 173 doesn't come out this week, or for a back-up article, I think we should do the ever so medium-length [[Strong Sad's iPod]]. Or if we want longer, I don't see [[Thnikkaman]] bolded on [[HRWiki:Featured article nominations|the nomination page]]. Here comes the Featured Article... {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 01:23, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

'''[[The Paper]].''' This one goes hand-in-hand with the above. (Yes, I know we already featured The Paper on week 47 of 2005.) &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:20, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 
-
:No Paper, as it was already featured. And I can also see a whole lot shinoligans going on the page with reverts after tons of new info is added. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 07:10, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 
-
::If not The Paper, how about '''[[Bear Holding A Shark]]''' since it hasn't been featured yet and it features an excellent writing choice. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
 
-
:::I could see re-featuring if email 173 results in a drastic change to the article, thus justifying putting the new info on the main page. But at this time we don't know if that will happen (remember, TBC may not actually have SB upgrade to an inkjet at all and may just dismiss it quickly). At any rate, I think it would be best for us not to re-feature immediately after 173: if there's no substantial change, it will not be worth re-featuring at all; if there is a substantial change, we'll likely need time for the dust to settle on the article, so to speak. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:10, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 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.
