===[[HRWiki:Featured article for 2010, week 17]] (Apr 26-May 2)===
 
-
For this week, how about something "live"? I'm thinking the [[SXSW Panel - 14 Mar 2005|the SXSW Panel from March 14, 2005]]. Combine the intro with a summary of the script and it would work, I think. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 07:41, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
 
-
:Certainly would be good to something real-world. Yeah, I think that would work, from what I can see in the article. Maybe might be good to prepare the writeup a bit early so we can be sure it works (note: not saying right now. Just sometime as it gets closer.) {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 07:49, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
 
-
::I am not disagreeing with that article at all; in fact, I think that it would be great to do something real-life, seeing as how we haven't in a while. But, perhaps out of my silliness and stupidity, I feel that [[The Couch]] should be featured for this specific week. {{User:StrongAwesome74/sig}} 18:55, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 
-
:::Good idea. [[The Couch]]. {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 10:44, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
 
-
::::What about the couch? --[[User:Essence of Ghost Water|Essence of Ghost Water]] 12:35, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
 
-
:::::Glad you asked. First off, it is a pretty decent article, but for what inspired me to nominate it would be Opti's post [[HRWiki_talk:Featured_Article_Selection#Holiday_articles|here.]] Call me stupid, but since Opti never recommended an article, and he doesn't come here often nowadays, The Couch ''is'' in his sig. {{User:StrongAwesome74/sig}} 19:25, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
 
-
::::::I think The Couch would be great to have on the front page for a while... Not only is it a well-written artical, it also makes the Main Page more appealing and comfy! (no, but seriously it is a great article) {{User:Nova Scotia/sig}} 19:54, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
 
-
:::::::So what should be done for today? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 15:12, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

== Discussions of Articles Needing Expansion ==
-
Since it's been a while since our last set of dailies, how about Dangeresque characters, as MHarrington has previously suggested? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 07:43, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
+
:''Discussions in this section regard articles that, per consensus, require further expansion of the article itself before the article should be featured.''
-
:Good idea. But I have two other daily ideas:
+
-
*Stuff in [[Old Flash Stuff]] (we can start off with Old Flash Stuff, then do six of the nine items in OFS. I'm wondering which three items will have to miss out; those three will probably need to be the three most important ones so they can have their own week.)
+
==Stalled Discussions==
-
*Main Pages (we can do six main Main Pages, then one of the secret ones. Sometime in the future, we will probably do three more MP dailies in this format. However, this means that one MP will get a week to itself; as [[Main Page 22]] seems to be the most important Main Page, it will probably be the one.)
+
:''Discussions in this section regard articles that, due to lack of consensus or consensus against, are not ready to be featured at this time. ''
-
:[[User:RickTommy|RickTommy]] 11:40, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
+
==General discussion==
-
::Are you suggesting these ideas for this week or just sometime in the future? If the former, I really think the Dangeresque ones should take priority since they were suggested a while ago. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 11:45, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
+
-
:::If we're going to do the Dangeresque characters for a dailies set, how about this (as per what has been said repeatedly):
+
-
:::*Monday: [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]]
+
-
:::*Tuesday: [[Dangeresque Too]]
+
-
:::*Wednesday: [[Renaldo]]
+
-
:::*Thursday: [[Cutesy Buttons]]
+
-
:::*Friday: [[Perducci]]
+
-
:::*Saturday: [[Killingyouguy]]
+
-
:::*Sunday: [[Baron Darin Diamonocle]]
+
-
:::That seems a bit solid, don't you think? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 03:08, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
+
-
::::Yes, but maybe with one of them replaced with [[The Stunt Double]]. [[User:RickTommy|RickTommy]] [[User talk:RickTommy|talk]] [[Image:slang.PNG|50px]] 08:22, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
+
-
:::::No, I think it's pretty solid how it is right now. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 05:11, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
+
-
::::::I would really like to have [[Sultry Buttons]] included. She's an easily overlooked character because she's only in SBCG4AP (though she plays a critical role in it), and I think it's good for us to emphasize these lesser-known ones. And no, I don't think she should be substituted for Cutesy, as including them both (preferably consecutively, even) emphasizes the unclear relationship between the two. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 07:35, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
+
-
:::::::What if we fleetingly mentioned Sultry in Cutesy's article? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 05:20, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
+
-
::::::::I think the list we have now is fine! But we should stick with the characters in the [[stunt double|toon]][[dangeresque 3|s]] ''and'' the [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective|game]][[Dangeresque Roomisode 1: Behind the Dangerdesque|s]].So I say no Sultry Buttons {{User:Wasd98/sig}} 18:43, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
+
-
:::::::::And I say otherwise. The very interest of Sultry Buttons is eliminated if she's but a footnote in Cutesy's bio. She deserves a full day on the main page. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 10:51, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
+
-
::::::::::I agree with Heinsterm Fauler. --[[User:Essence of Ghost Water|Essence of Ghost Water]] 12:36, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
+
-
:::::::::::No way! I'd rather do the Stunt Double, as he's the Dangeresque series' raison d'etre. Anyway, can we move the dailies to next week, and do [[A Mother's Day Message]] instead, since it's Mother's Day? {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 08:55, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
+
-
::::::::::::Please, RickTommy, let's be nicer in how we discuss. It's true, though; we really do have an overabundance of Dangeresque characters. If only we could have a ten-day week at some point in which to do them all.
+
-
::::::::::::If we move this ahead a week, we'd be shoving Huudge or Sterrance off the list until later. Since there's no real consensus there, that could be done, but I'm not too sure we should. I also think we've been trying a little too hard of late to have seasonally themed FAs and that we could lighten up on that a bit. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 09:02, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
+
-
:::::::::::::A Mother's Day Message would be a good idea, but Mother's Day is on the 9th, and that's the last day it would even be up. I want to go with Dangeresque, but the Mothers Day toon is a good idea too... {{User:Nova Scotia/sig}} 19:29, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
+
-
:First off: while celebrating Mother's day is not a bad idea, I think we're more invested in taking the Dangeresque route and since it's coming up soon, we should finalize preparations for those dailies.  We can always feature [[A Mother's Day Message]] next week (even if it's a day late) or shelve it till next year since we only have one Mother's day toon to feature and we celebrate Mother's day every year.
+
-
:Now, on to Dangeresque: I think the current proposed order is pretty good. However, given the importance of both [[Sultry Buttons]] and [[Cutesy Buttons]], why not feature them both on the same day? It's the perfect place to lampshade the ambiguity between the two characters.  Moreover, this could be moved to then end on Sunday as part of a "special [[Wikipedia:Jeopardy|daily double]] [[Wikipedia:Double feature|feature]]" :).  The lineup would then be as follows:
+
-
::*Monday: [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]]
+
-
::*Tuesday: [[Dangeresque Too]]
+
-
::*Wednesday: [[Renaldo]]
+
-
::*Thursday: [[Perducci]]
+
-
::*Friday: [[Killingyouguy]]
+
-
::*Saturday: [[Baron Darin Diamonocle]]
+
-
::*Sunday: [[Cutesy Buttons]] and [[Sultry Buttons]]
+
-
:What do you guys think? How does that look? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:37, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
+
-
::I think we should put the Buttons characters on Thursday and push the other characters down by one day. And we should focus primarily on Cutesy, though we could fleetingly mention Sultry in the description. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 20:01, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
+
-
:::Why do you so insist on a fleeting mention of Sultry? Are you listening to anyone else's ideas at all? Incidentally, though I hadn't thought of it until Stux mentioned it, the idea of simultaneous featured articles is not unprecedented: On the day of the 2008 US Presidential Election, Wikipedia featured both Barack Obama and John McCain (and even randomized the order so as not to give preference to one or the other). I think that'd be an interesting idea to pursue. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:33, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
+
-
::::That's a great idea, Heimstern. But again, what about the Stunt Double? {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 02:43, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
+
-
:::::The Stunt Double is indeed important to the origins of the Dangeresque franchise, but his article is a tad shorter than most. More important is the reason it's shorter: He's not really much of a character. Him showing up to get beaten up, smashed, even diamond'd is funny, but doesn't leave much character for him. That's why, unless we're able to extend this week by adding Whackday, Spleenday, Rootenskahootenday and Schnozday (which would actually be a fun idea), I would prefer to exclude the Stunt Double in favour of the others above. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 08:14, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
+
-
::::::It seems like we have more than double the number of [[:Category:Dangeresque Characters|Dangeresque characters]] than we have days in the week. Would it be so crazy for completion's sake to do TWO weeks worth of these dailies, lumping together a few sets of characters to make them all fit into 14 days and shift all the suggestions for the following weeks down by one? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 09:43, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
+
-

-
:It's been, like, nine or ten weeks since the [[best thing]] email was articled, so I don't know. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 07:37, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
 
-
::Yeah, I think waiting for a bit before featuring Larry would be for the best. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:13, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
 
-
How about [[Da Huuuuuudge]]? {{User:Power Pie/sig}}
 
-
:How about [[Sterrance]] instead? {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 11:16, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
 
-
::Please discuss; don't just throw out ideas without discussing what others have already said. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 11:19, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
 
-
:::Da Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudge is a better choice than Sterrance. --[[User:Essence of Ghost Water|Essence of Ghost Water]] 12:22, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
 
-
::::Umm, Sterrance is much more important, as he (?) has appeared in more than twice as many toons as Da Huuuuuuuudge has. {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 08:55, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
 
-
:::::I'm down with [[Da Huuuuuudge]], it's slightly off-beat which is cool and emphasizes TBC's weird humor. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 18:22, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 
-
::::::I think we should do Sterrance first before we do Da Huuuuuuuudge. We should do both soon, though. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 20:07, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 
-
:::::::Reasons why, everyone. So far, I've only seen reasons from RickTommy and Stux. This is not discussion; it's turning into the town meeting from [[unnatural]]. (And yes, I do think we should kill it.) {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:37, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 
-
::::::::Sterrance, because it was the one SB claimed to have gotten right. And it appeared more often than Da Huuuuuuuudge. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:42, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Five years since the first featured article! Maybe we should do something special to mark the occasion? [[User:RickTommy|RickTommy]] 07:09, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
 
-
:Sorry, I can't really think of anything. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 05:12, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 
-
::I was thinking maybe [[Index Page]], the most imprtant page on the site (not really, but it's often the first page that one looks at on the site), or an early toon like [[Pom Pom Too]], or one of the earliest articles to be suggested as a featured article: [[Schenactady Crispies]], or, as has been mentioned a couple of times not long ago: [[homestarrunner.com]]. {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 00:13, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

:::I don't know. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:58, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

::::So, the new main page did not appear until {{pl|l=http://hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page&diff=next&oldid=86323 May 23, 2005}} which was the first day of [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2005, week 21|week 21]] on 2005 (see [[Wikipedia:ISO_week_date|ISO_week_date]]). I see that this year that date falls on Week 20 (after getting this wrong {{pl|l=http://hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=HRWiki:Featured_Article_Selection&diff=700126&oldid=700125&rcid=660875 a couple}} {{pl|l=http://hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=HRWiki:Featured_Article_Selection&diff=700128&oldid=700127&rcid=660877 of times}}). If it's that important, we can just [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2005, week 21|re-feature]] [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] as a one-time retro-feauture with a short and subtle 1-line message saying that we've been doing 5 years of FAs.  For some reason I feel it would be nice to do this on week 21 rather than week 20 (and match the week numbers).  Otherwise, I think we should really treat this like any other FA week.  Looking at the oft-ignored [[HRWiki:Featured_Article_Nominations|nominations page]] I see that we have never featured [[Parsnips A-Plenty]] and it might be due for a feature. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 18:14, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

[[Missy Palmer]]? [[User:RickTommy|RickTommy]] [[User talk:RickTommy|talk]] [[Image:slang.PNG|50px]] 01:52, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
 
-
:Missy Palmer's important to H*R, but that article's seriously lacking in content. At present, it wouldn't work for a weeklong feature. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 07:50, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

How about a Videlectrix game? We have available: [[Secret Collect]], [[Rhino Feeder]], [[Thy Dungeonman]], [[Population: Tire]], [[Pigs on Head]], [[Thy Dungeonman 2]], [[50K Racewalker]], [[Duck Guardian One]], and [[Thy Dungeonman 3]]. [[User:RickTommy|RickTommy]] [[User talk:RickTommy|talk]] [[Image:slang.PNG|50px]] 01:52, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
 
-
:Based on the ones listed here, I would say [[Population: Tire]] is probably the best bet. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 05:10, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
 
-
::I'd pick one of the Thy Dungeonman games.
 
-
:::Either Pop Tire or a Dungeonman game would probably be good choices. Can't decide which I prefer at this point. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 08:06, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

For this week, how about [[Strong Bad's Computer Malfunctioning]]? We could have the intro and all the little descriptions after it, sort of like [[HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 26|that article on characters lacking certain body parts]].

:While this is (once again) over the limit of ten, there doesn't seem to be a clear consensus in some of the nominations above. Why not contribute your opinion there first instead of adding more weeks? {{User:StrongAwesome74/sig}} 00:53, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

[[Cardboard Marzipan]]? {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 10:44, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

:What did the man say to you above? --[[User:Essence of Ghost Water|Essence of Ghost Water]] 12:20, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
 
-
::At this point, we're exactly 10 weeks out, so he's OK this time. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 12:21, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
 
-
:::Oh. Anyhow, Cardboard Mazipan is a good choice. It's certainly better than [[Cardboard Homestar]]. --[[User:Essence of Ghost Water|Essence of Ghost Water]] 12:24, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
 
-
::::While Heim's right and he's ok within the 10-week limit, [[User:RickTommy|RickTommy]], why don't you give others a chance to make initial suggestions during the new few FA weeks for a change?  There is no need to rush the FA process and you should give others a chance to weigh in their suggestions without them feeling rushed or like they need to follow a specific topic.  Thanks. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 18:08, 25 April 2010 (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.
