HRWiki:Featured article for 2007, week 31 (Jul 30-Aug 5)

I say Food and Drinks get a spotlight this week. How about Mountain Dew, Potate, SBLOUNSKCHED! Bar or Fluffy Puff Marshmallows. Sam the Man 14:17, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Those sound good, but I wanna see something real-world featured for once. Maybe TMBG Concert - 25 Sep 2004? --Trogga 19:40, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

If we're going to feature something real-world, we should cover Georgia Tech - 26 Apr 2007 instead. It's the most recent and up-to-date of their public appearances and has relatively few page views. Also, you can't enjoy the TMBG Concert through the medium of text. The transcript doesn't do it great justice. Instead, you need to purchase it to appreciate it. Not everyone has credit cards, you know! Therefore, it will be better to feature something informative that all can enjoy reading than something musical which only a minority can enjoy listening to. – T he C hort 17:18, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

I support GT, it's a great article. - Qermaq - (^T/C)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2007, week 32 (Aug 6-12)

Following Trogga's suggestion, I say we feature Strong Badman. Sam the Man 23:48, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Sure. Has good length, easy to summarize, and some other third thing. --

Super Martyo boing! 23:55, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm down. Good writing, good length. Yeah, sure. Bluebry 17:15, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Not a huge fan of doing this two weeks after another SB-related character (Senor Cardgage). Yes, I realize SC is really a separate character, but still, a little overly SB-focused in my mind. Heimstern Läufer

08:12, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Maybe Nintendo instead? --Trogga 19:22, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Nintendo sounds like a great idea. Good lead, good length, many images, and an important part of the body of work. — Has Matt? (talk) 13:49, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2007, week 33 (Aug 13-19)

I've created a standby redirect to last week's featured article because no one, including myself, can seem to get an FA write-up started until the main page has a gaping red link in its featured article section. It's embarassing when an anonymous user has to start the featured article for us an hour after it should have debuted, and it makes me wonder why more of our regulars don't notice this sort of thing. Go ahead and put a write-up in place of the redirect once the article has been chosen. —BazookaJoe 01:48, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Senor Cardgage? Sam the Man 15:12, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps move alternate universe here if Senor is gona be week 30? - Qermaq - (^T/C)

23:14, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

How's Big Knife sound? --Askingforachallenge 02:27, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Too HRW:OA. I'd go for alternate universe. — Has Matt? (talk) 23:36, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

alternate universe. Also, Joe is right, we need to pay attention to this thing more often. I'm gonna watch this page and put a link at the top, myself. Bluebry 01:12, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2007, week 34 (Aug 20-26)

Action Cool 5? Sam the Man 15:12, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Maybe, but it seems to me that most to all of the important content would fit on one FA section. Craig Zobel? Bluebry 17:15, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Too short and unsourced. Homestar Runner and Marzipan's Relationship? --Trogga 02:35, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm kind of uncomfortable featuring a relationship. I'd think I'd rather go with Nebulon.

Sam the Man

12:04, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Ugh. I dislike the writing. What about... oh! Mellow Mushroom! It may seem short, but we can lengthen it. You know, like make the characters section more text-like. "The characters include Mel O. Mushroom, the main character of Mellow Mushroom, Dude Shroomington, Mel O. Mushroom's friend; he seems to have a crush on Melody..." I think it would be good to feature something both interesting and not very well known in the Homestar Runner alternate universe. Although, it seems a little dated, so we may need to fix it up a little. Bluebry 01:18, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

MM sounds fine, but what's wrong with relationship pages? --Trogga 01:29, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

I realize this is supposed to go live in a half hour, but... I don't agree with MM. I don't think completely non-H*R content is appropriate to be featured on HRWiki. I also agree with Trogga that there's no reason we couldn't feature a relationship. Heimstern Läufer

23:36, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Meh, I don't even think MM should be an article... Loafing

23:47, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't think this FA is half bad. Candid readers and glancing HR fans should find little-known TBC work interesting enough. —BazookaJoe 03:04, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2007, week 35 (Aug 27-Sep 2)

The Battle of Strong Badia? Sam the Man 15:12, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

That sounds OK, but I'd rather see Weclome Back featured this week. You know, with Summer ending and everything. --Trogga 02:20, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Um, is it just me, or did Mellow Mushroom get featured without any mention of it here whatsoever? --

Super Martyo boing! 07:13, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

It's all up ons in the previous week's section.

HRWiki:Featured article for 2007, week 36 (Sep 3-9)

Georgia Tech - 26 Apr 2007? Sam the Man 15:12, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

You know, we haven't had a public appearance as a FA so far this year. Seeing as this is a fairly recent article and has been accessed relatively few times, I like the idea of giving it some much-needed publicity. I mean, I didn't know this article existed 5 minutes ago! – T he C hort 15:56, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

I CONCUR. It seems to be a pretty good idea. The only thing I can think of is whether or not we can fit enough info onto the FA section thing. Bluebry 17:15, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

I've already suggested a public appearance for an earlier week. How bout Corpy NT6 instead? --Trogga 22:02, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

No, it's too short. If you were to feature it, you would have a daily feature thing with other computers. How about Sweet Cuppin' Cakes or Painting of a Guy with a Big Knife?

Sam the Man

12:06, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Would it be possible to lengthen School enough to make it a featured article? Homestar-Winner (talk) 01:34, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

I dunno... it seems like one sentence and some appearances... not possible, in this reporter's opinion. Bluebry 01:37, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
