Have we featured [[The Announcer]] yet? If so, how about [[Homestarloween Party]]? --[[User:Technochocolate|Technochocolate]] 03:49, 24 April 2008 (UTC) <font color=white>Or specially marked.</font color>

:We haven't featured The Announcer yet. That article could possibly use some expansion before featuring, but it's a possibility.

::::First, The Announcer sounds reasonable to me, but secondly, let's slow ''way'' down a little bit, huh? We keep getting too far out ahead. Let's add more once we get below five or six weeks ahead (by then, the first 26 weeks will likely be in the archives and it'll be time for weeks 27 through 52). In the meantime, if it's any comfort to you, we can keep discussing ideas for the weeks that are already on here. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 19:48, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

:::::::::Hmm, I never thought of that one... [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 02:07, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
+
-
::::::::::Gremlin: maybe. Dunno if it's a popular enough article. Irregular Loading Screens: no. That article does not seem interesting enough to be a Featured Article even if it was expanded a bit. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 02:52, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:::::::::::Hi there, me again. This is another illustration of the problem we're having here at FAS: throwing out ideas without discussing. The conversation was going along pretty well, with support gradually emerging for [[The Announcer]], when a user comes in with a suggestion to feature [[The Gremlin]] without saying anything about the previous discussion or explaining why to feature the latter and not the former. Why is this a problem? It leaves the discussion fragmented and makes it hard to determine consensus. If I came along now to close this, I would have a very heard time telling where consensus lies. For this reason, when contributing here, always respond to what previous users have said instead of just throwing out your own ideas. Thanks. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:13, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
+

We need more discussion here. There is no clear consensus about what to feature. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 15:24, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

:The biggest problem that I see is all of the suggested articles for this week are...er, weak. [[The Announcer]], [[The Gremlin]], and [[Irregular Loading Screens]] all are on the short side when it comes to text.  I was looking further down, and unfortunately, moving [[comic]] up wouldn't solve the dilemma for that week and I'm hesitant to suggest [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 11]] here instead.  How about [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3]] then, which is also summer themed?  Then the later discussion can be reset. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 16:49, 3 July 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:

One of the [[Thy Dungeonman]] games. [[User:Empaire|Empaire]] 12:38, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

-
:How about an actual person? Say, [[Missy Palmer]] or [[Ryan Sterritt]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:54, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
+
-
::As important as Missy is to H*R, her write up is a bit thin.  Ryan's page is actually of decent length.  May I also suggest [[Y-O-U]] as a possibility (their contributions have been key a number of TBC's musical projects).  {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 06:05, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:::No. It is one of the Dungeonman games or else. Since we have already featured the Dungeonman himself and [[ye flask]], it makes sense to feature one of the Dungeonman games. [[User:Empaire|Empaire]] 10:19, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
+
-
::::Umm, no, it's not "one of the Dungeonman games or else". You don't get to make decisions like that. I'd say we ought to feature Ryan, personally. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:50, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:::::I like the idea of featuring [[Ryan Sterritt]] too. And we should expand Missy's article sometime; she should be featured at some point. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 21:53, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

How about [[Lowercase i's]]? That's becoming a quite large inside joke. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 22:15, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
+
:''Discussions in this section regard articles that, per consensus, require further expansion of the article itself before the article should be featured.''

:Sure, Lowercase i's would be good. That one has a decent amount of text anyway. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:10, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Since we haven't done one in a while, how about a TGS issue? I'm thinking [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1|the first one]]. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:24, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
+
:''Discussions in this section regard articles that, due to lack of consensus or consensus against, are not ready to be featured at this time. ''
-
:I would advise against us featuring TGS 1 for this reason: It's a subset of the email [[comic]]. Therefore, it makes more sense to feature that email instead, as it helps show where TGS came from and gives us the first episode.
+
-
:As an alternative, perhaps TGS 11, since it has a summer theme? Alternatively, we could wait a few weeks and do TGS 4, with its back-to-school theme. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 15:11, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
+
-
::I like the idea of [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 11]] being featured for this week.  TGS as a whole has not been featured enough. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 05:52, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:::Okay, let's just do [[comic]], then, huh? I agree that TGS isn't shown more often, but let's try to save some of the post-tenth issue ones (i.e., Issue 11) for later. Besides, wouldn't it be overkill to have two summer-themed toons in a short timespan, since I proposed Summer Short Shorts at one point? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 15:27, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
+
-
::::In agreement. Let's do the email comic. It'll be just like featuring a TGS comic, but this shows where it came from. (I actually didn't know until now) [[User:DrPepper42|DrPepper42]] 01:18, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
+
-
::::::If we're going to do techno two weeks before, I don't think we should do another email this week. I don't see any reason we can't do two summer-themed cartoons, but if we don't want to, I still suggest delaying TGS a few weeks and doing Issue 4 (partly because we haven't featured many early TGS episodes). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:22, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:::::::I say we shouldn't do any more summer themed Featured Articles. If any school people are at all like me (and I know some are), they will be thinking "Aww man, we hafta go back to school again soon!" by August. I think [[comic]] would be a good idea. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 02:01, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
+
-
::::::::And I still say two emails separated by only one week is too many in such a short timespan. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:24, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:::::::::(KOs colons and throws them into an active volcano) Not really... We have nearly 200 SBEmails total. I doubt that many have been featured. There are more SBEmails than anything else. It's not a big deal. [[User:DrPepper42|DrPepper42]] 13:26, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
+
-
::::::::::Yeah. I'm surprised we haven't featured emails more often! So we should not complain about having emails close together. Besides, there was one time where was an entire week's worth of Tandy 400 emails, I seem to recall. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 17:03, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Sorry to burst your bubble guys, but [[comic]] was featured for week 31, 2005. How about the [[locker room]]?  [[User:Hazzard4123|Hazzard4123]] 18:05 11 June 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:But that was actually just an article on the series as a whole. I'm talking about the actual email. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:34, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
+
-
::So was I. [[User:DrPepper42|DrPepper42]] 00:40, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:::Exactly. With "comic", we could kill two birds with one stone: we'll do something with both the squad of teenagers of the female persuasion ''and'' an email on the part of that guy in the wrestling mask. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:04, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
+
-
::::Since TGS is purposed for a few weeks back, how about an object?  [[Whatsit]] might be an amusing article to feature... {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 16:57, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:::::One problem: The organization of [[Whatsit]] is a bit confuzzling and needs a lot of work to be featured. Seriously. So, [[comic]] has my vote. Again, seriously. {{User:DrPepper42/sig}} 20:59, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
+
-
::::::I disagree on both counts. Please note that, with TGS 3 on the main page this week, [[comic]] is more or less out of the question. [[Whatsit]] is generally good already, and is a good example of how to avoid an "often appears" article. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:17, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

:I'm thinking [[Fonts]] or [[Fonts By Toon]].  Haha.  Just kidding.  Sadly, those pages'll never make it as a featured article, I'm afraid.  Oh, [[Fonts]]!  I pine for you.  <sniff>  {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 08:44, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

-
::Re: the [[Double Deuce]] We look to already be doing a running gag two weeks before, so I'm thinking not such a good idea (but keep it mind for the future). Opti: Hmm, I wish there were a way to feature one of those, and if I ever think of a way, I certainly will suggest it. It's a really great amount of obscure info, but how to make it featurable I don't know. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:24, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

:::Well, except the two weeks prior, the running gag is of a different variety than the Double Deuce, so no offense, but they should not be exactly comparable. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 16:48, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

::::Sure, they're different types, but I still argue they're too similar in type to occur so close together. Not to mention that I think it's a bad idea how we have running gags divided into several categories, anyway. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 18:05, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

:::If we can't have a running gag, how about [[Drive-Thru Whale]]?  He's starting to become a fairly prominent pseudocharacter....{{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 04:55, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 34]] (Aug 18-24) ===

For this week, my option is the [[Heavy Lourde|Heavy Load. I mean, Lourde]]. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 17:17, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:Sure. That's a good one. {{User:Peter222/sig}}
 
-
::It's a bit on the short side, but I guess it's workable. And it is an interesting object (debuted with Homsar, after all, way back in the early days of sbemail). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:54, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:::I dunno about this one. Most information in the article right now is either speculations or talking about other weights that look like the weight but are not the same one. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 23:09, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::::Maybe it is too much of that. I've removed what I think was the least relevant info. What's left is a bit on the short side. You reckon we could expand it? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 02:49, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:::::Still, the Monty Python and bilingual labeling part of the article is still speculation. I don't think there is enough actual facts in the article to make it a FA. How about instead we do something completely different and feature the quite popular toon [[Where's The Cheat?]]. It's quite long, and it has every main character in it! {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 02:40, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::::::Re:Heavy Lourde: Since no one's stepped in to fix it, I'm going to say maybe not do that one. I do kind of think it'd be nice to do an object, since we haven't featured one in a bit and we feature a lot of toons (in the generic sense; not only including big toons). Any ideas? If not, let's go ahead and do Where's The Cheat (while keeping in mind an object for a future feature). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:29, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:::::::Hey, I got an idea: if we can't do Heavy Lourde, then let's do another object, like the [[BMW Lighter]]. That's an object, too. I simply looked at the [[Category:Object running gags|list of object running gags]] and I had the idea. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:30, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::::::::[[HRWiki:Featured_article_for_2005%2C_week_48|Already been featured]], I'm afraid. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 18:33, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:::::::::Hmm... okay, how about [[Interactive Menus]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 19:12, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::::::::::I dunno, that one seems a bit lacking in content. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 22:41, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:::::::::::Can we do [[The Municipality]] for this week? {{User:Peter222/sig}}
 
-
::::::::::::Maybe; seems to have enough content. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 15:23, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:::::::::::::But if we do The Municipality, we should also include somewhere down the line the [[On Point Kings]] and/or [[The Homestarmy]]. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 17:17, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::::::::::::::The Homestarmy was already featured, but sure, we could do the On Point Kings sometime. {{User:Peter222/sig}}17:44, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 35]] (Aug 25-31) ===
 
-
Perhaps a game? It's been a while since we last featured one: week 8 of this year was the last time. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:09, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:How about one of the games that Strong Bad dreamed up in the [[video games]] email? Any of those would work. Or we could also do [[Stinkoman 20X6]]. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 19:27, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::We've been delaying featuring 20X6 until level 10 comes out... though even I begin to wonder if that's worth doing anymore. On the one hand, I don't like featuring an incomplete game because the situation is a bit awkward if it ever is finished (do we ever get to showcase the complete game?) Then again, I think it's highly possible the game will never be finished, since TBC seem to have moved on to other things (such as SBCG4AP). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:29, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:::Then let's do the [[StrongBadZone]] game. It's one of the games that SB has dreamed up in the "video games" email. And it has a decent amount of text to boot. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 17:00, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::::I like that idea. It also begat one of the better-known H*R phrases, "YOUR HEAD A SPLODE". {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 17:04, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:::::I'd like to suggest [[Commandos in the Classroom]], as this week is close to the start of school for a lot of people, and would have tons of "OMG! BACK TO SCHOOL FRENZY!" moments. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 22:46, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::::::Hmm... if we do that, which at this point I'm neutral on, let's see if we can do StrongBadZone not long later, shall we? I can see the value of a back to school article, but we should make sure our heads engsmsplode ''sometime''. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:52, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:::::::What about Week 37? It's after the next week. ''{points down}'' {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 03:56, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::::::::Oh, "Commandos In the Classroom" is a good one, too. We hardly have ever featured anything regarding the commandos of the cheating variety. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 15:52, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

=== [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 36]] (Sep 1-7) ===

This week would be Labor Day, and since we featured Labor Dabor last year, how about doing the "[[labor day]]" email this year? I think it fits, if only weakly. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 17:59, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:That's fine, but I don't think we should be talking about the September featured article in July. {{User:Hrjcm/sig}} 14:16, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::Why not? I don't think it's so much what date it's on that counts as how far ahead in terms of numbering thus far it is. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 14:42, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:::I think ten weeks out is OK. More than that is going a bit too far, but ten is OK. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:51, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Then someone else thought up a more seasonal idea for that week. Therefore, I move that we feature StrongBadZone this week instead. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:53, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

One of the [[Thy Dungeonman]] games. Period. [[User:Empaire|Empaire]] 13:44, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:I don't think we should do one of Thy Dungeonman games because it looks like we're doing StrongBadZone the week before this one, which is also a game. I suggest we do the toon taken off the site, [[A Jumping Jack Contest]]. {{User:Peter222/sig}}
 
-
::We're getting too far out once again; let's slow down a bit, huh? And [[A Jumping Jack Contest]] would be a good one. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 05:03, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

{{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.
