Almost Halloween! This week is our week to feature something Halloween-related other than a full toon. I was thinking maybe [[Marshie vs. Little Girl]] if no one has any better ideas. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 20:03, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

:::::::I'm be fine with ghosts; let's save halloweener for now. But, if we don't have the HRWiki Halloween theme up and running for that week, I'd like to nominate [[Pistols for Pandas]] (PfP, I'll just say) in reference to our struggling fund-raising drive (and the clever excerpt from it on [[HRWiki:DO YOU HAS?]]). While I don't like it when new toons and such are featured too early (like, "within two years" early), I wouldn't mind it in this case. I would have recommended PfP for week 42 but I didn't have the time. {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 02:43, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Ween. We usually feature a full-length Halloween toon this week. We've already featured [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]], [[Homestarloween Party]] and [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]], so let's think of a different one. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 20:03, 13 August 2009 (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:
-
:How about [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], my personal favorite. <small>Though I'm not sure how much that matters when choosing FAs...</small> {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 20:09, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
+
<pre>
-
::There are definitely some reasons this toon is noteworthy; for example, it was the first interactive Halloween toon, and it established the trend of Homsar as a secret character in H'ween toons. Also was the last one to feature voting on costumes, and had a sort of [[Halloween Awards Show|addendum]] released five years later. All told, I think this'd make a good FA. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 20:32, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
+
{{FA queue|<date>|Redirects|alternatediscussion=yes|decision=<article name>}}
-
:::Sorry if it seems like I'm being hasty and dismissing your ideas (don't get me wrong, Sucky Treats looks like a good one), but what about [[Jibblies 2]]? That's a good one, too. A lot of people really like that one. The plot is intense, the characters are off the wall here and it's great. "Sucky Treats", however, doesn't really have much to write up on, short of just the characters coming to the house in question and maybe Homsar being introduced in the Halloween toons here. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 22:36, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
+
</pre>
-
::::That's also a good one. Either one could make a fine FA, though Sucky Treats is more historic, and I don't agree that there'd be a problem with writing it up. So, let's hear from others about what we should feature. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:20, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
+
Example:
-
:::::I'm kinda leaning towards Sucky Treats, myself.  A very pivotal and important toon for many reasons. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 00:01, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
+
<pre>
-
::::::'''Sucky Treats'''. -Espemon333
+
{{FA queue|15 Aug 2011 |Redirects|alternatediscussion=yes|decision=1-Up}}
-
:::::::Hey, Espemon. Just to let you know, this isn't really a vote, but a discussion. For that reason, it's important to give a reason for your opinion. Thanks. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:29, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
+
</pre>
-
::::::::Oh, well in that case, Sucky Treats is the (don't quote me on this) first interactive Halloween cartoon, and the one of the ones where you can vote, plus the first appearance of the coolest character in the Homestar Runner Universe in a Halloween Cartoon, [[HOMSAR]]!!!!!!!!!!!
+
-
:::::::::Actually, Homsar first appeared in the [[homsar]] email. Sorry, just making a little observation there. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 14:40, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
+
-
::::::::::Oops. I meant in a Halloween Cartoon. Sorry. [[User:Espemon333|-Espe Pwnage]] 16:08, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:::::::::::Actually, Sucky Treats is the first one where he stops making sense, he talked normally in MAM 5.0 and [[homsar]]. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 19:13, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:::::::::::my vote is for [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]] because it was in my oppinion the best! Plus it holds the record for the most easter eggs--[[user:safariventureman|<span style="color:F90 ;">safariventureman</span>]] 00:50, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
+
-
::::::::::::So... what is the current consensus? It seems all over the place at this point... {{User:Espemon333/sig}} 00:34, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:::::::::::::I think most of the people here want to do [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]]. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 16:10, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

For this week, we should do something we have not done in a long time: a game. I'm thinking maybe [[Kid Speedy]]. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 21:57, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:[[HRWiki:Featured_articles/Archive_5#Week_40.2C_2007|Already been featured]]. Though I would like to see a game get featured. Maybe [[Dangeresque Roomisode 1: Behind the Dangerdesque]]. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 22:54, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
+
-
::If you want to do an older game, [[Awexome Cross]] would be fine candidate. I think I prefer that to Dangerdesque.  {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 23:44, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:::Dangerdesque is a bit too recent to be featured IMO. Awexome Cross, Pop:Tire, or Duck Guardian One would be excellent candidates for a game feature. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 00:02, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
+
-
::::I wouldn't mind Awexome Cross. {{User:Espemon333/sig}} 00:20, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:::::Oh, dear, I had forgotten about Kid Speedy already being used. Sure, we can do Awexome Cross, I guess. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 00:40, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
+
-
::::::I disagree with Dangeresque being too new. By the time November comes around, it should be about a year old and Videlectrix will have made another Roomisode. But I see why you guys want to feature "older" games. I'd like to see Pop:Tire or Awexome. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 11:18, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:::::::Well, what if (not right now, of course, but sometime down the line) the next set of dailies for a week was all Dangeresque-themed and we included this into the proceedings? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 17:09, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
+
-
::::::::Good idea, MHarrington! {{User:Espemon333/sig}} 14:24, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:::::::::If we are going to do an old game for that week, maybe we should do Awexome Cross. By November 2-8, it will be ''exactly'' six years and nine months old. {{User:That'sBupkis/sig}} 16:07, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
+
-
::::::::::Yeah... Awexome cross! {{User:Movie magic man/sig}} 17:15, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

For this week, we should do another [[Teen Girl Squad]] character, one who is a staple of the series: [[Arrow'd Guy]]! [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 17:24, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:I was thinking about doing the [[Monosodium Dreams]], assuming we haven't already done it. {{User:Espemon333/sig}} 14:23, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
+
-
::What about [[The movie theater]]... [[The battle of Strong Badia]] is also a good one... {{User:Movie magic man/sig}} 15:23, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:::We have not shown [[Monosodium Dreams]] or [[The Movie Theater]] yet, so why don't we do them in the near future? We could do one next week and then the next one two weeks later, since the week before that is Thanksgiving and I have an idea in mind for that one already. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 16:02, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
+
-
::::Just a comment: remember we are trying to keep FAS to only 10 weeks ahead.  We've been creeping up lately (and I've been guilty of same). {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 19:36, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:::::Wbwolf's right. We'll go ahead and leave it for now, but let's keep it down to 10 weeks in advance of the current week in the future. Another thing: don't forget that in a discussion, if you propose a new idea after someone else's, you should always respond to the previous one (perhaps giving a reason you think your choice is more suitable). Otherwise, it's not really a discussion, and it's hard to determine where consensus really lies. (Don't forget that this isn't a vote, contrary to what it may seem sometimes.)
+
-
:::::As for my opinion: I do think Arrow'd Guy really deserves a turn in the spotlight, particularly because it's been a while since we've had a TGS-related feature. The other two ideas suggested also look deserving, so I suggest we keep them in mind for the near future. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 09:19, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
+
-
::::::But wait, wouldn't we have just done TGS 13 for week 39? {{User:Bubs 20X6/sig}} 01:36, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:::::::Yes, but that doesn't mean that something like this can't be done for a long time if that's what we go with then. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 14:47, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
+
-
::::::::Well we did do TGS 13, But Arrow'd Guy works for me. Monosodium, your time to shine comes soon. {{User:Espemon333/sig}} 01:45, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:::::::::I'd forgotten we had TGS 13 on the queue. Oh well, I stand corrected. It's still not going to be a problem to do Arrow'd guy this week, though we could delay him if people want to spread out TGS a bit. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:06, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
+
-
::::::::::No, Arrow'd Guy's been delayed ever since we featured [[Whats-Her-Face]]. I think he's waited long enough. Let's do him this week. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 14:43, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:::::::::::Okay. Seems good. {{User:Movie magic man/sig}} 16:18, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:::::::::::No, he has not been delayed since we featured What's Her Face, as there was only one editor campaigning to feature Arrow'd Guy then. The fact that that editor didn't get what he wanted does not mean that article has been delayed. It's coming exactly on time: When consensus favours it. I.e., this week. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 13:37, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

::::::::::::What I meant is that, after the time of featuring what's-her-face, the idea of featuring him had been tossed around, but ultimately it was decided he was suited for a later period of time (after featuring The Ugly One, a few weeks after a few issues had been featured, etc.). Perhaps he wasn't ''delayed'' for almost a year so much as ''been taken under consideration'' for a year, if you want it in politically correct terms, but the point is that there really isn't much sense in putting off a deserving article any longer than it already has. I'm sorry if I came off as sour, Heimstern, but I feel that this article is in dire need of featuring and shouldn't be denied it merely because another TGS-related article had been featured over two months previously. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 18:44, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

-
:::::::::::::So far, no one seems to have seriously objected to featuring it this week, despite the relatively short gap between this and the last TGS, so I think we're fine. '''I'm''' certainly not going to, since I think TGS is one of the most awesomest things on the site and always like to see more articles about it get featured. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 14:28, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

This week, it's time for a cop-out that was responsible for more confusion than almost any toon before it: [[Sbemailiarized!]]{{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 14:24, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

:''Discussions in this section regard articles that, per consensus, require further expansion of the article itself before the article should be featured.''

:While an interesting article, I think it'd be more suitable for April Fools Day, since it was the basis for 2009's [[April Fool 09|April Fool joke]]. I think we'd need to mention that in the writeup, and that that'd look kind of out-of-place right before Thanksgiving. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 14:43, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

[[Image:stupidturkey.PNG|left|180px|Some Stupid Turkey]]
+
==General discussion==
-
'''[[Some Stupid Turkey]]''' is [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]]'s first [[Thanksgiving]] toon that was released on Tuesday, November 27, 2001. [[Strong Bad]] starts this toon with him dressed as a turkey, and begins to sing a Thanksgiving song about a turkey. The song ends with a few of the main characters singing "Go and suck your thumb". [[Homestar Runner]] then says to let them go and partake of their wonderous feast, only to find that it was eaten by [[The King of Town]]. '''[[Some Stupid Turkey|(more...)]]'''

::I hope this helps. Also, if this is used, replace the Image placement with a Featured Article template. I didn't use that, as this is not a featured article yet. {{User:That'sBupkis/sig}} 00:07, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::What about [[Twenty THANXty Six]]? I have proposed this for four reasons: 1) Some Stupid Turkey is a tad short, whereas 2008's Thanksgiving toon is a bit longer; 2) It's been a long time since we've done ''anything'' related to [[20X6]]; 3) I think we need to do a toon ''not'' from 2001 for once; and 4) We usually do Thanksgiving toons from the previous year (i.e., 2005's [[Fall Float Parade]] in 2006, 2006's [[Let Us Give Tanks!]] in 2007, etc.). [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 03:09, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::::I should point out that the only reason that we've done the previous year's toon for Thanksgiving is only  because they have become a regular feature in the last few years.  Having said that, though, I have to agree that Some Stupid Turkey is too short, even with the write up, to feature. There's not a whole lot in the [[:Category:Thanksgiving|T'giving category]]; the only other ones that haven't been featured are [[Happy T!]] and [[Limozeen Thanksgiving E-cards]].  [[Happy T!]] is also too short, but if we don't do [[Twenty THANXty Six]], the E-cards might be interesting. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 04:31, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::::Well, if they keep adding more T'giving toons, maybe we won't have to worry about running out of T'giving articles. Maybe the E-cards could be shown next week? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 05:18, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::::::I don't think we should have two Thanksgiving-themed FAs, especially since we don't have an inexhaustible supply of them. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:39, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::::::Well, we did have two T'giving-themed FAs last year (the [[colonization]] email and [[Toikey TV]]), so I don't know. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 19:50, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::::::::In retrospect, I don't think that was a good idea and that we should have saved one of those for later. Too late now, but I think we'd best not repeat it this year. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:53, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::::::::Okay, then we won't. It just seemed like a good idea at the time. Anyway, in keeping with how T'giving toons have been articled in the past, I think we should do [[Twenty THANXty Six]] this year. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 05:10, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::::::::::I think that's best, too. There's not a lot of Thanksgiving articles, and this one would clearly make a fine writeup. Stupid Turkey could work in a pinch, like, if we run out of T-giving toons sometime (which we could if TBC take the holiday off a few times), but for now I think we should stick with something more substantial. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:16, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::::::::::Yeah, SST can wait. I amm quite partial to <s>Horpy Tor!</s> Happy T!, but I am not really sure about the substance. It really Isn't FA material, because there isn't much to be said! Limozeen or THANKSty would work, but THANKSty could be a bit too soon. {{User:Espemon333/sig}} 01:11, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::::::::::::Actually, it would be carrying on the "tradition" of having the previous year's T'giving toon be articled (i.e., 2005's T'giving toon in 2006, 2006's in 2007 and 2007's in 2008). [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 02:44, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

For this week, let's do one that seems to have gotten a lot of attention: [[The Movie Theater]]. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:18, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:Well it does have a good intro and a decent amount of appearances, so it sounds good, but for reasons untold, can simone produce a write up for me? {{User:Espemon333/sig}} 18:25, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

[[File:The movies.png|left|180px|The movie theater]]

'''[[The movie theater]]''' is where movies are watched, sometimes by force. [[Homestar Runner]] and [[Pom Pom]] brought [[Coach Z]] here to watch a film about the word "job" in the toon [[A Jorb Well Done]]. Along with that, the theater has also shown films such as Women's Penitentiary Bakesale Nightmare, Fists of Knuckles 1-24, Axe Gun: Legends of the Brain Outener, and Pom Pom's Indie film [[City (comma) State]]. As revealed in [[rated]], It is one of the few theaters that show triple R-rated movies. The theater is featured prominently in the email [[the movies]], where it is revealed that [[Senor Cardgage]] has a job as the ticket-taker. '''[[The movie theater|(more)]]'''

:::::[[homestarrunner.com]] could work as a website's 10th anniversary FA. I think we should do it only on December 6, and maybe have special decorations on the "This week's/today's featured article." {{User:Mr_Eyeball}}

:Well, it looks like both articles are good, but we haven't done anything Cheat Commandos since I joined the wiki (far as I know) and we did Words I probably said like 2 weeks ago. Silent Rip works for me. {{User:Espemon333/sig}} 01:11, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::I think it might be better to have [[homestarrunner.com]] or [[Timeline of Homestar Runner]] as the FA for this week, since the 6th is the 10 year anniversary of the site.  I do wonder, given TBC's tendencies to make [[Strongest Man In The World|10th]] [[Where My Hat Is At? (toon)|anniversary toons]], if they will do something themselves to note the occasion. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 04:21, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

::What about [[A Holiday Greeting]]? Although [[Peanuts]] would be good, too, since it's been a bit more expanded and would probably make good article fodder. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:41, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

And in time for Decemberween, why don't we feature a toon that has been overlooked, [[A Decemberween Pageant]].  I think that is the last of the "older" D'ween toons that hasn't been featured, and it also provides a lot of the mythology of this holiday 55 days after Halloween. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 01:39, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
