HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 11 (Mar 9-15)

I think for this week, we should do something like the Storybook World from whence the whole thing got started. MHarrington 20:20, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

How 'bout... THE 2009 WEEK OF ALL OF THE ROOMS IN THE HOUSE OF STRONG EXTRAVAGANZA!!!!!!!! Or at least the first 7. Don't say jorb 101

How do we do that? Let's do Storybook World or email thunder. Raiku 06:17, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, we should definitely do email thunder sometime this year, but not yet. MHarrington 18:45, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

A response to Raiku: they only do this a few times per year, but sometimes,instead of a weekly featured article, they have a daily featured article, where every day there's a new one. They usually are related, hence the "THE 2009 WEEK OF ALL OF THE ROOMS IN THE HOUSE OF STRONG EXTRAVAGANZA!!!!!!!!" Don't say jorb 101

That's not what- nevermind. I'd rather do Storybook. That Game Dude 386 22:38, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

And on top of that, Raiku, we've done the Computer Room already, if I remember correctly. MHarrington 06:14, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Eh well, Storybook's a bit short, but it's significant, so why not. Heimstern Läufer 06:21, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Seems a bit TOO short for an FA in my opinion. — Defender1031*Talk 06:23, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

What if instead of the rather short Storybook World, we do The Homestar Runner Enters the Strongest Man in the World Contest? —Guard Duck ^talk 06:32, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm afraid that one's already been featured. Heimstern Läufer 06:43, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

oops, you're right... I looked for it under the wrong name. In that case I'll go with Storybook World. —Guard Duck ^talk 07:22, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

OK, looks like Storybook World it is. Anyone who happens to have any ideas for expanding it, that would be really great, though we can live with it as is if it must be so. Heimstern Läufer 03:53, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 12 (Mar 16-22)

This week, let's deau a game. I'm thinkin' of doing Population: Tire. Any other ideas? That Game Dude 386 00:18, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Well, I guess, except how much description here could be used? MHarrington 01:11, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Pop tire doesn't really have a very good description for it. I think that Eh! Steve! deserves recognition this week. —Guard Duck ^talk 05:07, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Oh, yes! We've never done a Sweet Cuppin' Cakes character before! The only thing about SSC that we've done for an article was the area itself. And that was only last year! So yeah, it's time that this often-overlooked area of Homestar got more due. MHarrington 06:29, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

OK, let's do Eh, Steve! That Game Dude 386 22:32, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

The prose introduction for Eh, Steve! as it stands is really too short for an FA. Anyone think we could expand that? I agree it's a very worthy topic, but it's not really ready for featuring right now. We still have nearly two months until this week; can someone remedy that? Heimstern Läufer 08:59, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Well, then, why not a Cheat Commandos character? It's been a while since we've done one. I'm thinking maybe either Fightgar or Silent Rip. MHarrington 00:05, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Fightgar works well. I'm all for it. DrPepper42 02:07, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Adding more "oomph" to the Eh, Steve! article isn't that big of a challenge. I could probably do it this afternoon or something. Let's just stick to the consensus we've reached here and put off Fightgar for a different week. —Guard Duck ^talk 01:19, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

I think Eh! Steve's article is a little more fleshed out. MHarrington 19:08, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

It looks workable now. Let's put Fightgar in the queue for soon. Heimstern Läufer 03:56, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 13 (Mar 23-29)

I think for this week, we should do The King of Town DVD, one of the earliest big toons on the entire site! MHarrington 17:48, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Yes... an early big toon... *ahem* -still, it is important, in it's own way. No objections. That Game Dude 386 20:58, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

KOT's DVD sounds pretty good. —Guard Duck ^talk 00:25, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Strong Bad's commentary on that one is still a classic bit of Strong Bad comedy. We could mention that in the writeup, probably. Heimstern Läufer 10:52, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
