<s>'''[[montage]].'''</s> ''(see below)'' 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.

===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:
 +
<pre>
 +
{{FA queue|<date>|Redirects|alternatediscussion=yes|decision=<article name>}}
 +
</pre>
 +
Example:
 +
<pre>
 +
{{FA queue|15 Aug 2011 |Redirects|alternatediscussion=yes|decision=1-Up}}
 +
</pre>

:::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)

+
-
:::::::::By the way, there isn't even an '''email 172''' yet. And If we're gonna feature montage it doesn't have to be the week of email 173. At this time, many people are looking forward to 173 and will understand why montage is featured. And if we feature a different article and see sbemail 173 is gonna come out early on a Monday, we could quickly change it to montage. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 09:43, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

-
:::::::::::I really like DELETED, the only problem is how little prose there is in the intro, as this is what would appear on the main page. If there's some way to expand this intro or incorporate other parts of the page in the writeup, I'd be all for this one. If not, Couch Mumbling seems good to me. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:00, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

<s>'''[[The Paper]].'''</s> 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)

I think it's time that [[Fonts]] got the spotlight for once. It's grown quite a bit. Anyone agree? ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 19:29, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

:I think it would be interesting to see a list-oriented page like [[Fonts]] or [[Sound Effects]] or something be featured. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:38, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

::How about [[Analysis of Homsar's Speech Patterns]]. Since we already have Homsar nominated and is sort of related to Crap in a way I'm not sure. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}}
 
-
:::Re: [[Fonts]]: List-like articles can be hard to feature, but we managed it with [[Secret Pages]]. Can we come up with a similar summary of the list of fonts? Re:Homsar's speech: I still feel this article has too many stretches too much speculation to really count as some of our finest work. I am not comfortable with featuring it. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:28, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 
-
::::I agree with not featuring the Homsar speech patterns article. It's interesting, but not solid enough to be featured. About [[Fonts]] and [[Sound Effects]] &mdash; are we sure that those are complete and correct? I sometimes wonder about those pages, but I haven't poked around in them very much... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 06:35, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 
-
:::::The problem with lists such as [[Fonts]] is that, by their very nature, they are near-impossible to complete. The thing is, it's no more incomplete than any other article we've featured. ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 22:07, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 
-
:I second [[Analysis of Homsar's Speech Patterns]], but only if Strong Bad doesn't upgrade, but looking at the end of #172, I think they'll keep their promise. Poor paper. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 22:13, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 
-
: How about montage. But that's not all. If montage doesn't work, we do 6 more Emails for featured articles that week. Anybody agree, though I don't make much sence, since I don't know how to put this. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 19:26, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

::montage will be featured the in week 22. As for dailies: I don't know if we really need another one of those yet, and I certainly wouldn't do sbemails for them (especially right after montage). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 18:45, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey guys and gals, in case we forget to write a new FA by the time it goes live on the main page, simply copy and paste the old FA into the new FA's page until the new one gets written, just so the main page doesn't look blank for half an hour.

I like [[Bear holding a Shark]] (already suggested above). It's not short (certainly no shorter than some of the FA noms I sifted through before coming here). I bet I could make a nice write-up of it. &mdash;[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 04:24, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

:I always hate toon FAs. But, the only other things I could find were either too short or had bad writing. So, I'll live. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 02:20, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
 
-
::Why do you hate them? The toons are the biggest part of Homestar Runner, after all. The only problem I see with them is that it's kinda hard to write a good summary of the toon that will go on the Main Page. But if the toon is relevant to the week it's being featured in, I usually have no problem with having it as a featured article. That being said, I think Happy Fireworks is too short of a toon to be featured. With longer toons, the summary is easier to write because there's a lot to write about, but with shorter toons, there's not really much to explain, which makes a summary hard to write. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 02:37, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

:::OK... how about [[Dangeresque (film series)]]? I've always wanted to see that featured. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]]

::::I'd still go with Happy Fireworks. It is a bit short, but I still think a good summary could be made. It'll take a good three sentences just to explain cardboard Marzipan.

:::::Said above, if it is relevant to the week, it is a good idea to have it. Just like when sbemail172 had comeout, Montage was the featured toon. --{{User:Techgeekmbg/sig}} 15:11, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

:This might not work out, but what about we have all those toons and write a featured article each day. Start with Weclome Back, keep cool, Teen Girl Squad Issue 9, suntan, vacation, Strong Bad's Vacation Spots and maybe add [[Summer Short Shorts]]. And if daily featured articles don't work, how about each one weekly. Anybody agree? {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 5:16, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

-
:::::Tape leg's the weakest link above. And I'd suggest keeping to the earliest emails possible, so not superhero name, it's much later than the rest.

-
:::::::::tape-leg introduced [[Tape-leg]]. Though I have to admit, it isn't really a big part of Homestar Runner, compared to some of the other things introduced. I would pick CGNU over little animal (but I still think the tape-leg is cool). {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 22:46, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Just throwing out some good articles that haven't been featured yet: [[Senor Cardgage]] (WTPF? How is he not featured?), [[Action Cool 5]], [[The Battle of Strong Badia]], [[Kid Speedy]], [[Georgia Tech - 26 Apr 2007]], [[Homestar Runner's Sleepwear]], [[The Show]], [[SBLOUNSKCHED! Bar]], [[Couch Mumbling]]. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 14:29, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 
-
:Reply for Has Matt: Sernor Cardgage should be featured. Good call! For Action Cool Five, I guess that could be featured. The Battle of Strong Badia: Since we featured The Homestarmy, Strong Badia and Cheat Commandos, I say yes to featuring The Battle of Strong Badia. Kid Speedy, probabaly not. Unless we do a daily feature with Kid Speedy with games like Stinkoman 20X6, I'll say no on that one. Georgia Tech - 26 Apr 2007 is a great idea. Homestar Runner's Sleepwear = Also Good. The Show is a really good choice. We could probabaly save SBLOUNSKCHED! Bar for next week. Coach Mumbling is also good. But, we should save those for another week. Once I'm done with this messege, I'll proabaly do their spaces or sections. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 15:00, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
