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. He can't say job. Don't say jorb 101 Seriously, he can't say job!
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!!!!!!!!" He can't say job. Don't say jorb 101 Seriously, he can't say job!
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)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 14 (Mar 30-Apr 5)

I think for this week, we should have Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 14.2, in which one of the messages, from Strong Sad, is on April Fools' Day pranks. MHarrington 18:59, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Well, since this is April Fool's week, and, um, we should... crap. What was that one article? I was gonna mention that one article on something... about... something... Aw, nevermind. If I think of it, I won't call you back. That Game Dude 386 21:04, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
That is still one of the most bizarre messages Marzy's ever gotten. I'm all about Main Paging it. Heimstern Läufer 10:51, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
We should do the most bizarre thing on the site. Or something fake. Just because we're a Wiki doesn't mean we can't have a little fun with April fools, right?--Thy Not Dennis (t/c) 17:42, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Is there anything in particular you support featuring instead of MAM 14? And if so, why? Heimstern Läufer 06:36, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
Well, the only other things I can think of are either PayPlus! or maybe even sb email 22 (but that one is not really considered April Fool's, though). At least MAM 14 mentions April Fool's at one time. So we could kill two birds with one stone here: do a holiday theme and do something that only recently got recognition. MHarrington 16:37, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

I think we should feature credit card for april fools because he pranks homestar!--Safariventureman 18:51, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

*facepalm* Credit Card came two months before April Fool's. I support PayPlus! or MAM 14.2 (only for the theme, not the quality of the toon itself) getting featured. BBG 19:15, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
As no one has actually bothered to give any reasons against the original suggestion, I'm going to call this discussion in favour of MAM 14. Heimstern Läufer 02:01, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
