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]]. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:19, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

This is a placeholder topic for 5-year redirects. Due to overall decreased activity, FAs are now being reused more often.  The common practice has become to redirect to the FA exactly 5 years prior to the current FA. When an article is re-used, mark it in the following manner:

[[Homestar Runner and Homestar Runner's Relationship]]. "homestar = you" = pure genius. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:12, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

-
:Excellent article if we can just expand that prose intro severalfold. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 19:13, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
+
-
::''"...which means it showcases an important part of the Homestar Runner body of work and/or highlights the fine work of this wiki."'' This definitely is an important part of the Homestar Runner , but it may not be a highlight of the wiki. Yes, the intro needs fixing, but I think Character Relationships are the future of FAs. Now if I only knew what severalfold means... {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 19:22, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:::Sorry, but the article is ''far'' too short to merit a Featured Article. Might I suggest something that has never been done yet this year: a full week of themes. This time, I was thinking of a whole week of emails involving the infamous [[DNA Evidence|DNA evidence]] and the big toon [[DNA Evidence (toon)|DNA Evidence]]. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 03:35, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
+
-
::::MHarrington, you're much too quick to dismiss others' ideas out of hand instead of trying to suggest ways to improve them. Instead, you have a tendency to immediately stick in your own ideas. That's just plain bad form.
+
-
::::As I've already said, HR-self does have exactly the type of content that would be great as an FA, but its intro is not nearly ready. There's still a lot of time; it might be something we can improve before the time of featuring. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:54, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:::::Well, I did say I was sorry. But I wasn't trying to be dismissive of others' ideas. I just don't know how it can be expanded. It's an integral part of the website experience, to be sure, but how can we possibly expand the article so that it actually can be usable? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 15:34, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
+
-
::::::I'd start by summarizing the content of the article in greater detail, similar to Wikipedia's guidelines on [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Lead section|lead sections]]. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 15:38, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

:::::::Well, obviously, the article needs to go into greater detail, but my question is, how? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 16:00, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

::::::::How about [http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Homestar_Runner_and_Homestar_Runner%27s_Relationship&curid=31487&diff=661949&oldid=651058&rcid=621404 something like this?]  Oh, and I fully support this article. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 17:44, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

-
:::::::::Well, it's good to start with. But I think it might need to be a bit longer. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 04:42, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:::::''"We also might just think it's cool."'' The concept behind the article is brilliant and fascinating, and certainly cool enough to be featured. By all means, expand the intro if you think it needs it. It's the overall idea that is so appealing to me. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 12:20, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

How about [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 13]] for this week? {{User:Bubs 20X6/sig}} 05:23, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:It's a good article, but it has come to my attention that [[The Stick]] has not been featured. It's shocking. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 12:32, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
+
-
::That article is one of our more unfortunate deficiencies on the wiki. There's a reason we haven't featured it: its prose intro is too short still, despite the importance of the subject matter. I would really like to see it featured, so is there anyone who has an idea of how to expand the prose intro? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 17:13, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

:::I wouldn't mind doing TGS Issue 13 this week. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 03:43, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

-
::::I'm looking at [[The Stick]] intro as it stands [http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=The_Stick&diff=663366&oldid=663216 right now], and it looks like the intro is long enough.  We should reconsider this subject.  It might be too soon after featuring [[The Classroom]], so it might need to be moved, but I think The Stick is FA material. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 16:55, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

:::::I just made a substantial expansion to the intro, so it's looking a lot more feature-worthy now. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 17:07, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

::::::Okay, we can do that, I suppose. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 21:01, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
+
-
:::::::What do we think about switching this one with two weeks from now; i.e., doing TGS 13 this week and The Stick two weeks from now? Just because this would be pretty soon after another place, namely, The Classroom (as Wbwolf's already suggested). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:06, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

I know I'd probably the last person to propose such a thing, but how about a week of [[:Category: DVD Exclusive|DVD exclusive toons]].  [[Real Live E-Mail]] and [[Tis True, Pom Pom, Tis True]] are the only ones of that category that have been featured, and as a class should have a little more attention to them.  How about: [[Greeting Cards]], [[Puppets On The Road]], [[Sample Of Style]], [[Blue Laserdisc Challenge]], [[Accent]], [[Where's The Cheat? (game)]] and [[Dangeresque: THREE in 3D]]. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 01:33, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm not real happy about [[Blue Laserdisc Challenge]] here.  I'm not sure if [[The Limozeen Advantage]] or [[Why Come Only One Girl?]] should be featured due to various issues.  Any ideas? {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 20:29, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

::I think Blue Laserdisc Challenge could be made to work; we just need to be a bit creative in our writeup. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 19:53, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

:::The Limozeen Advantage needs some major cleaning up. Laserdisc is fine with me, though. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 20:09, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::::If we can get Limozeen Advantage cleaned up, we could boot Laserdisc down to the 6 slot.  It looks mainly like locations needs to be documented for the article. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 23:53, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

[[Where's The Cheat? (game)]] is probably the weakest.  [[160 Seconds]] is interesting, but it's kinda on the short side.  I'm trying to stick with longer entries.  Thoughts? {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 20:29, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:How about [[The Limozeen Advantage]]? We already have something representing SBEmails Disc 5 (on day 5, seen above). [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 17:53, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::Limozeen Advantage is a fine suggestion.  Would it better here or swapped for [[Blue Laserdisc Challenge]] on day 4? {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 17:59, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::It's better here because it's chronologically correct. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:17, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Finally, round out the week with [[Dangeresque: THREE in 3D]].  I know it was only recently released, but a) I'd like to have at least one example from each of the discs (SBEmail 1-3 count as one release) and b) it's probably one of the longest H*R toons overall. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 20:29, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

:And after all, why not sometimes feature stuff that's very new? Shows how on top of the game we are. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 19:51, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Almost Halloween! This week is our week to feature something Halloween-related other than a full toon. I was thinking maybe [[Marshie vs. Little Girl]] if no one has any better ideas. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 20:03, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:How about the email [[ghosts]]? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 22:38, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::Also a good possibility, especially since it will have been a reasonable amount of time since the latest sbemail. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:14, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::Have we already done [[halloweener]]? If not, that could be a possibility. {{User:Movie magic man/sig}} 01:40, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::::We haven't, though I'd prefer [[ghosts]]. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 12:50, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::::[[ghosts]] sounds good. Nice 'n funny, [[Bad Graphics Ghost]], yeah, it'll work.

::::::Bad graphics ghost is good... I like it...

Ween. We usually feature a full-length Halloween toon this week. We've already featured [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]], [[Homestarloween Party]] and [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]], so let's think of a different one. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 20:03, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:How about [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], my personal favorite. <small>Though I'm not sure how much that matters when choosing FAs...</small> {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 20:09, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::There are definitely some reasons this toon is noteworthy; for example, it was the first interactive Halloween toon, and it established the trend of Homsar as a secret character in H'ween toons. Also was the last one to feature voting on costumes, and had a sort of [[Halloween Awards Show|addendum]] released five years later. All told, I think this'd make a good FA. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 20:32, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::Sorry if it seems like I'm being hasty and dismissing your ideas (don't get me wrong, Sucky Treats looks like a good one), but what about [[Jibblies 2]]? That's a good one, too. A lot of people really like that one. The plot is intense, the characters are off the wall here and it's great. "Sucky Treats", however, doesn't really have much to write up on, short of just the characters coming to the house in question and maybe Homsar being introduced in the Halloween toons here. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 22:36, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::::That's also a good one. Either one could make a fine FA, though Sucky Treats is more historic, and I don't agree that there'd be a problem with writing it up. So, let's hear from others about what we should feature. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:20, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::::I'm kinda leaning towards Sucky Treats, myself.  A very pivotal and important toon for many reasons. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 00:01, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::::::'''Sucky Treats'''. -Espemon333
 
-
:::::::Hey, Espemon. Just to let you know, this isn't really a vote, but a discussion. For that reason, it's important to give a reason for your opinion. Thanks. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:29, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::::::::Oh, well in that case, Sucky Treats is the (don't quote me on this) first interactive Halloween cartoon, and the one of the ones where you can vote, plus the first appearance of the coolest character in the Homestar Runner Universe in a Halloween Cartoon, [[HOMSAR]]!!!!!!!!!!!
 
-
:::::::::Actually, Homsar first appeared in the [[homsar]] email. Sorry, just making a little observation there. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 14:40, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::::::::::Oops. I meant in a Halloween Cartoon. Sorry. [[User:Espemon333|-Espe Pwnage]] 16:08, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::::::::::Actually, Sucky Treats is the first one where he stops making sense, he talked normally in MAM 5.0 and [[homsar]]. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 19:13, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

For this week, we should do something we have not done in a long time: a game. I'm thinking maybe [[Kid Speedy]]. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 21:57, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:[[HRWiki:Featured_articles/Archive_5#Week_40.2C_2007|Already been featured]]. Though I would like to see a game get featured. Maybe [[Dangeresque Roomisode 1: Behind the Dangerdesque]]. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 22:54, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::If you want to do an older game, [[Awexome Cross]] would be fine candidate. I think I prefer that to Dangerdesque.  {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 23:44, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::Dangerdesque is a bit too recent to be featured IMO. Awexome Cross, Pop:Tire, or Duck Guardian One would be excellent candidates for a game feature. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 00:02, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::::I wouldn't mind Awexome Cross. {{User:Espemon333/sig}} 00:20, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::::Oh, dear, I had forgotten about Kid Speedy already being used. Sure, we can do Awexome Cross, I guess. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 00:40, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::::::I disagree with Dangeresque being too new. By the time November comes around, it should be about a year old and Videlectrix will have made another Roomisode. But I see why you guys want to feature "older" games. I'd like to see Pop:Tire or Awexome. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 11:18, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::::::Well, what if (not right now, of course, but sometime down the line) the next set of dailies for a week was all Dangeresque-themed and we included this into the proceedings? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 17:09, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::::::::Good idea, MHarrington! {{User:Espemon333/sig}} 14:24, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::::::::If we are going to do an old game for that week, maybe we should do Awexome Cross. By November 2-8, it will be ''exactly'' six years and nine months old. {{User:That'sBupkis/sig}} 16:07, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::::::::::Yeah... Awexome cross! {{User:Movie magic man/sig}} 17:15, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

-
===[[HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 46]] (Nov 9-15)===

For this week, we should do another [[Teen Girl Squad]] character, one who is a staple of the series: [[Arrow'd Guy]]! [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 17:24, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:I was thinking about doing the [[Monosodium Dreams]], assuming we haven't already done it. {{User:Espemon333/sig}} 14:23, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::What about [[The movie theater]]... [[The battle of Strong Badia]] is also a good one... {{User:Movie magic man/sig}} 15:23, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::We have not shown [[Monosodium Dreams]] or [[The Movie Theater]] yet, so why don't we do them in the near future? We could do one next week and then the next one two weeks later, since the week before that is Thanksgiving and I have an idea in mind for that one already. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 16:02, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::::Just a comment: remember we are trying to keep FAS to only 10 weeks ahead.  We've been creeping up lately (and I've been guilty of same). {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 19:36, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::::Wbwolf's right. We'll go ahead and leave it for now, but let's keep it down to 10 weeks in advance of the current week in the future. Another thing: don't forget that in a discussion, if you propose a new idea after someone else's, you should always respond to the previous one (perhaps giving a reason you think your choice is more suitable). Otherwise, it's not really a discussion, and it's hard to determine where consensus really lies. (Don't forget that this isn't a vote, contrary to what it may seem sometimes.)
 
-
:::::As for my opinion: I do think Arrow'd Guy really deserves a turn in the spotlight, particularly because it's been a while since we've had a TGS-related feature. The other two ideas suggested also look deserving, so I suggest we keep them in mind for the near future. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 09:19, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::::::But wait, wouldn't we have just done TGS 13 for week 39? {{User:Bubs 20X6/sig}} 01:36, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::::::Yes, but that doesn't mean that something like this can't be done for a long time if that's what we go with then. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 14:47, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::::::::Well we did do TGS 13, But Arrow'd Guy works for me. Monosodium, your time to shine comes soon. {{User:Espemon333/sig}} 01:45, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::::::::I'd forgotten we had TGS 13 on the queue. Oh well, I stand corrected. It's still not going to be a problem to do Arrow'd guy this week, though we could delay him if people want to spread out TGS a bit. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:06, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::::::::::No, Arrow'd Guy's been delayed ever since we featured [[Whats-Her-Face]]. I think he's waited long enough. Let's do him this week. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 14:43, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::::::::::Okay. Seems good. {{User:Movie magic man/sig}} 16:18, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::::::::::No, he has not been delayed since we featured What's Her Face, as there was only one editor campaigning to feature Arrow'd Guy then. The fact that that editor didn't get what he wanted does not mean that article has been delayed. It's coming exactly on time: When consensus favours it. I.e., this week. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 13:37, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::::::::::::What I meant is that, after the time of featuring what's-her-face, the idea of featuring him had been tossed around, but ultimately it was decided he was suited for a later period of time (after featuring The Ugly One, a few weeks after a few issues had been featured, etc.). Perhaps he wasn't ''delayed'' for almost a year so much as ''been taken under consideration'' for a year, if you want it in politically correct terms, but the point is that there really isn't much sense in putting off a deserving article any longer than it already has. I'm sorry if I came off as sour, Heimstern, but I feel that this article is in dire need of featuring and shouldn't be denied it merely because another TGS-related article had been featured over two months previously. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 18:44, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::::::::::::So far, no one seems to have seriously objected to featuring it this week, despite the relatively short gap between this and the last TGS, so I think we're fine. '''I'm''' certainly not going to, since I think TGS is one of the most awesomest things on the site and always like to see more articles about it get featured. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 14:28, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

-
:While an interesting article, I think it'd be more suitable for April Fools Day, since it was the basis for 2009's [[April Fool 09|April Fool joke]]. I think we'd need to mention that in the writeup, and that that'd look kind of out-of-place right before Thanksgiving. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 14:43, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

::What about one of last week's suggestions: [[Monosodium Dreams]]. The [[Corpy NT6]] would work too... {{User:LePorello/sig}} 15:31, 7 September 2009 (UTC)
