A Short Perhaps? Good shorts: [[One Two, One Two]], [[Drive-Thru]], [[Looking at a Thing In A Bag]]? {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 19:23, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

-
: I'll throw in [[Strongest Man In The World]] as another good short for this week.  Though [[Looking at a Thing In A Bag]] would be an excellent idea. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 19:48, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

How about a daily featured article week with [[Compy 386]] emails. Just some classics: [[comic]], [[japanese cartoon]], [[dragon]], [[crazy cartoon]], [[personal favorites]], [[monument]], [[video games]], [[your friends]], [[invisibility]], [[time capsule]], [[monster truck]]. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 20:35, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

::I think this is a good idea to do at some point (I ''don't'' think more than a few compy emails are worth a whole week), but I think it's still too soon after our most recent set of dailies. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 16:51, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Another grammar thing! I'd personally like to see '''[[Nondescript Nouns]]''', but it's prose is too short. Perhaps we could expand it? {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 18:43, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
+
-
:I've always thought Nondescript Nouns's scope was a bit ambiguous, and I don't really think it's our finest work. Perhaps another running gag, such as [[Crapfully Yours]]? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:55, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

::Aside from the "SBEmail extravaganza" suggested above, I haven't seen some of the classic SBEmails suggested in [[HRWiki_talk:Featured_Article_Selection#Milestone_emails.|the talk page]] being featured recently.  Might I suggest [[army]]? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 09:33, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

-
:::I tend to think we already feature emails often enough. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:49, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
+
-
::::Perhaps but:
+
-
::::#A sizeable portion of the H*R content are emails, making them an important type of article to feature.
+
-
::::#In the last 26-week stretch, I counted 9 sbemails being featured. However, 7 of those were part of a daily feature of [[HRWiki:Featured_articles/Archive_5#Week_29.2C_2007.2C_Day_7|week 29]].  Only two have been feature since then: [[what I want]] and [[alternate universe]], although #150 is a milestone, both emails are pretty recent compared to some of the older "classics" that have yet to be featured.
+
-
::::#[[mascot]] has also been turned down, but I would like to take another step to complete [[HRWiki_talk:Featured_Article_Selection#Milestone_emails.ElCool's list]]. I feel like that 1-week spat gave a false sense of email over-featuring.  (Granted we definitely don't need another weekly email feature for some time.)

:::::I still tend to think what I said before, but that's not why I'm posting. Rather, I'm asking for further input so we can decide on something soon. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 19:02, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

::::::I vote for Whats Her Face as featured article of the week. [[User:Cyberdemon|Cyberdemon]] 20:09, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:::::::Nah, we did So and So last week. TGS FAs would get stale. The last e-mails we featured was Dragon on Week 2 and What I Want on Week 51. The last running gags we did were HR vs SB Relationship on Week 50 and Pants on week 42.

HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 7 (Feb 11-17)

Who Said What. 60.230.37.94 06:49, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

We really shouldn't be featuring that. Homestar-Winner (talk) 21:31, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
At some point, we ought to feature something from the Lappynapping saga. Ideally, I'd love to feature the entire saga for a week, but we don't exactly have a summary article for the whole thing, and I'm not sure we should. One possibility could be just featuring cliffhangers one week and retirement the next (pros, it allows us to cover the saga; cons, it takes up two weeks). Heimstern Läufer 21:42, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
I like the idea, but I also agree with the problems. The closest we have to a summary article is on the Lappy's page. --DorianGray 21:51, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
How bout a Valentines/Valentimes day toon. TGS 12. Justin Master of Nature 21:19, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
Since Valentimes is so rarely done in H*R, featuring Teen Girl Squad 12 would be a good thing for this week. Hopefully, TBC will add more "holiday specials" in the future. wbwolf (t | ed) 23:36, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
Totally! Great Idea, I think TGS is important to Vanentines day with Cheerleader's boy obsession. Dynamite =)
Sure, we can wait on the Lappynapping saga. Heimstern Läufer 19:08, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
Which is a good idea anyway, until we figure out how to feature something that doesn't have a direct page (yet?). Also support TGS12. --DorianGray 05:06, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
How about Date Nite? That'd make sense for Valentine's, don't you think? MHarrington 08:02, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
It would, but I reckon TGS 12 will work well, too, and since there's already broad support for it, I think we'll do that. Heimstern Läufer 00:39, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
One word. TGS 12. Ok, 2. Sbemailnum314159

HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 8 (Feb 18-24)

How bout Where's An Egg?. Aaron Master of Life 20:35, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

I dunno, I was thinking retirement. Religious Corn   20:13, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
Umm...No. Well, maybe ...{drum roll} Listerine. I'm a man on the prowl and I stick up for myself! The city is at night and I'm dancin' dancin'! Homsar solo!Master of Nature 21:19, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
retirement might be good, but Listerine is way to short and let's not forget that it is a HRW:OA. User talk:Sam the Man Sam the Man 22:31, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
I think that nightlife may be good. It features a lot of important remarks and such in it. Besides, Listerine is too short, anyways. Dynamite 0.o
Nightlife is probably too new for an FA. Heimstern Läufer 19:08, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
By the time this article is featured, it wont be. DYNAMITE :{
Double Deuce?!?!?!!?!!?!?!!?!?!?!Justin Master of Nature 16:00, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
Well, My choices are as follows and I quote:
"Where's an Egg,
Double Deuce,
The Simpsons"
I'm a man on the prowl and I stick up for myself! The city is at night and I'm dancin' dancin'! Homsar solo!Master of Nature 16:06, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
I'm all for Where's an Egg, personally. Great game, thorough article. Heimstern Läufer 19:04, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, finally a sysop accepting my choices! I suggested it in the first place!:DJustin Master of Nature 21:28, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
How about Strong Bad Smiling? MHarrington 08:04, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

:| no. Where's an Egg? --Justin Master of Nature 21:43, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 9 (Feb 25-Mar 2)

Who Said What. That game is very popular now, and should be featured, especially since it is so far the only old game not featured.

In case this is not clear to anyone: We will not be featuring Who Said What Now? until such a time that we can unprotect this article. In the meantime, please don't suggest featuring it, since such suggestions cannot be honored. Heimstern Läufer 01:52, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
I'm still thinking of doing a running gag. What was the Answering machine where Homestar and Strong Bad try to get their "girlfriends" a Valentines gift? I like that one.
I'm not sure, but I think this week we should feature Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 1.0 since we've never featured a MAM before. Homestar-Winner (talk) 12:23, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
