HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 31 (Jul 27-Aug 2)

As stated from the previous week, we now should feature Strong Bad's Website. MHarrington 15:50, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Actually, you stated it the week BEFORE the previous week. Seriously, though, it's a good idea. Theycallmefree 20:23, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 32 (Aug 3-9)

For this week, I was thinking of the Double Deuce. MHarrington 04:14, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

How about Doughnuts? It's had quite a bit of references, but the intro needs quite a bit of expansion. — MichaelXX2 mail_icon.gif link_icon.gif 14:54, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
The intro is far too short, nor do I think that it could be expanded beyond what it has. We're looking for toons, characters or major themes of the site. While Doughnuts show up in a lot of unusual ways, I don't think it makes a good FA. wbwolf (t | ed) 15:07, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
Oh! I have a better one! First Time Here? is extremely important toon and gets constantly overlooked. It should be featured. wbwolf (t | ed) 15:12, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
First Time Here? seems like a good article. It's also VERY funny. "Homestarrunner.net:Its Dot Com!" Never gets old. free 20:16, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
And also, "Check me out! No, seriously, check me out." MHarrington 22:44, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
And also, "Something.com!"--Record307 Talk/Contribs 00:19, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 33 (Aug 10-16)

I still can't believe that G hasn't been featured yet. It's like, a healthy piece of real estate! --Darkangel Get offa me! 05:05, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

The big problem with the G article is it has very little prose and is mostly a list. It's a great theme, but it's not what a FA makes. wbwolf (t | ed) 05:52, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, and I'm not sure one could really expand it to the point it would be a good FA, though I'd be perfectly happy for someone to prove me wrong on that point. Unless and until someone does so, though, it's not a good choice. Heimstern Läufer 14:47, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
Well, since it's being debated whether or not to do First Time Here for week 32, how about doing the article originally intended: the Double Deuce? MHarrington 20:00, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
Since I upstaged the suggestion for Double D, I'll second featuring Double Deuce for this week. Great theme, and a lot of text for an intro. wbwolf (t | ed) 23:53, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
Well, I...one...two...Fifth it! For reasons stated above and beyond! Take it away, sig: free 00:15, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 34 (Aug 17-23)

For this week, how about General Tso's Chicken? MHarrington 20:02, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

I was thinking maybe the Fat Bluebird. The intro is plenty long enough, and The Chapman Brothers have mentioned their fondness of the bird. — MichaelXX2 mail_icon.gif link_icon.gif 17:00, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
Well, the article for that one is not all that long, not compared to General Tso's Chicken, anyway, and it appeared a lot less than it, too, so no comment. MHarrington 01:03, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
I wonder what TBC's reaction would be if they came to the wiki and saw the Bluebird on the front...Anyway, I don't really think the bluebird is long enough. free 12:51, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
I'm with Free on that one. General Tso could probably work, though. Heimstern Läufer 01:16, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
Tso is fine with me. -Espemon333

HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 35 (Aug 24-30)

For this week, I was thinking of something befitting the return to school: L.U.R.N., Marzipan's cult... er, classroom. MHarrington 17:08, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

WHAT?!?!? WE'RE ALREADY PICKING BACK TO SCHOOL ARTICLES!?!? AHHHHHHHHHHHH! Erm, seems good to me. Back to school... ugh... free 17:17, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
My main concern with the LURN article is that while it has a lot of great prose, there isn't that much there past the intro. FAs should be a balance of strong intro with material beyond that. I'm not sure this would fit. How about the The Classroom instead? wbwolf (t | ed) 17:41, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
Sure, that'd be good, too. MHarrington 19:26, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
Works For me. -Espemon333

HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 36 (Aug 31-Sep 6)

For this week, we need to do something Old-Timey-related. I'm torn between either Old-Timey Marzipan or the big toon Parsnips A-Plenty. MHarrington 06:19, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, we're doing A Folky Tale right now, so I don't really want to do Parsnips-a-Plenty. Old-Timey Marzipan seems decent, but I want to do Words I Probably Said sometime. It's amazing, I think. free 15:01, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
Well, then let's do Old-Timey Marzipan this week, and Words I Probably Said next week. MHarrington 18:32, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
Have we already done labor day or labor dabor?
Yes and yes. MHarrington 22:50, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
I like Words I Probably Said and Old-Timey Marzipan but... I just want to throw The Movie Theater into that mix if we haven't allready done it. cash money tc 01:50, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
If we're doing the Classroom the week before, this probably isn't a good week for another place like the theater. But it would be a good one to remember for the future. Heimstern Läufer 02:49, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 37 (Sep 7-13)

For this week, we should do what was previously suggested earlier: Words I Probably Said. MHarrington 21:50, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

I just looked at it and it looks solid. I agree. OpenSourceGreg 10:37, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, It's solid. -Espe Pwnage 16:12, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
