General Discussion
- Say whatever right here. First question, does everybody like the name, or should we move it? ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 23:20, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- Nice name, but it should be moved to HRWiki:Featured Article Selection. — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 03:23, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- Good point. Done. — It's dot com 03:57, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)
Themed Articles
- How does everybody feel about themed articles, such as Halloween Costumes during Halloween week, Decemberween during christmas week, things like that? I think it's a good idea, but I figured I'd throw it out there as a conversation starter. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 04:48, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- I like that idea. «Rob» 11:34, 8 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- Cool. So do I. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 02:28, 14 Aug 2005 (UTC)
Featured Toons
- How does everybody feel about featuring toons? The occasional interesting one, chuck 'em in all the time, or none at all, ever? ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 02:28, 14 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- I think it would be okay to throw in a toon or sbemail every now and then. Looking into the distant future, we don't want to run out of non-toon articles then be forced to focus solely on toons. —BazookaJoe 02:38, 14 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- I don't see why we couldn't rerun featured articles after a long period of time (not for a year at least... I'm sure we have 52 feature-able articles). Homestar Coder

- Yea, I wouldn't mind featuring the Floppy Disk Container again. Maybe if it's ever significantly featured in some way. Oh well, I'll keep my eyes open... ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 22:32, 22 Aug 2005 (UTC)
Weeks 31–35
HRWiki:Featured article for 2005, week 31
How about Teen Girl Squad for this... Likely disadvantaged week? ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 23:20, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- Why would this week be disadvantaged? Next Monday is August 1. — It's dot com 02:02, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- Teen Girl Squad is a good idea. This article should be written relatively soon, so when/if the wiki goes down, there will be an article ready to go when the wiki comes back up at 0600 UTC Monday. —BazookaJoe 04:03, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)
Concern to be addressed: how long would the week have to progress for Strong Sad's Lament to be considered to have served its proper time as a Featured Article? If the wiki goes down, say, tonight or tomorrow, I'm willing to let SSL go for another week. —BazookaJoe 04:08, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- Oh whups, slight miscalculation on my part. Somehow I was under the impression that NEXT WEEK was the last week of the month. Oops. Well, in any case, I figure if SSL makes it to say... Thursday, it's probably served it's purpose. FDC got less time than that. But in any case (again), what about bumping TGS again in favor of... Dum Dee Dum!
Pros:
- It is an article that will interest others now especially.
- It is an article that will very soon benifit from random user's help.
Cons:
- Disk four isn't quite ready, and might not be by Monday.
- It is currently on the What's New section of the Main Page, which already makes it quite visible.
Ooooor...
- We could wait a few weeks, until disk four is common, well known.
(Note, I don't think this format has to be strictly adhered to or anything, it just seems most useful in this case, as a simple demo, which could possibly be used more in the future. Simple, organized, easy to read. Overall though, I'm rooting for an informal, conversational atmosphere, not as cut and dry as STUFF). ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 04:47, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- I think SBE.exe should be put off at least one week to give us a little time to get some good work done on it. By week 32, it will still be new enough to be timely and also benefit from casual users' help. We should postpone it briefly because who knows whether we'll receive our discs in time, or if we do, whether we'll even be able to edit the wiki. — It's dot com 04:56, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- From the looks of things, we aren't going to make it too far into Wednesday before we go 509 for July. I'd say if we make it to noon we're lucky. -- Tom 05:10, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- I'll get my DVD on Thursday according to the tracking info I have. Jay, do you want to figure a way to divvy up some of this? — It's dot com 05:13, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- If Tom says tomorrow afternoon, I think we may as well just go with TGS, and set it up now, so that it's ready for the 1st, no stress. I have to go to bed right now, because I gotta be up for work in 6 1/2 hours, but if anyone just wants to get it done, be my guest. As long as everybody's happy with TGS. And in light of Tom's new information, that brings BazookaJoe's concerns back into light. Is Wednesday noon long enough for SSL to be up? ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 05:24, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)
HRWiki:Featured article for 2005, week 32
Perhaps strongbad_email.exe? 'Tis the season. —BazookaJoe 05:32, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- My word. Not an ounce of discussion, even with about two hours and fifteen minutes left in the week. Methinks I will take the liberty of writing something. Anything. —BazookaJoe 21:44, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)
HRWiki:Featured article for 2005, week 33
- Heh, sorry to see what happened last week. I was on vacation. But I'm back now... Somewhat. Working hard Thursday and Friday, but I might be here and there a bit. So any nominations for this week? ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 05:45, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest Videlectrix. Mostly because I really want a Stinkoman 20X6 article but those probably shouldn't be featured until after the game is finished. Besides, we haven't had a game-related article yet. Homestar Coder 06:45, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)

- Ooooh. good call. I'm on board for that one. Anybody else have an opinion? ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 11:10, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- Videlectrix. Go for it. —BazookaJoe 03:38, 13 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- Done and Done. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 21:12, 13 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- Oh! I just had a sudden thought. What about featuring Marshmallow's Last Stand (toon) instead, and moving Videlectrix to the following week? The only reason I suggest this, is that it might clear up last weeks Strong Bad Email somewhat, to those who don't know TBC original style. I dunno, just a thought. What do you think? ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 02:30, 14 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- Edit: It's now Sunday morning. Since the article goes featured tommorrow, if I don't hear any other opinions before then, I'm gonna just go ahead and switch 'em tonight, move Videlectrix to next week. Unless anyone doesn't like the idea. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 16:10, 14 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- EDIT: Okay, it's done. Thanks BJ for the rewording. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 01:18, 15 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- Good idea! Homestar Coder 04:50, 15 Aug 2005 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2005, week 34
Due to the recent Strong Bad Email, and without any visible opposition, I moved Videlectrix to this week in favor of Marshmallow's Last Stand (toon) ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 01:17, 15 Aug 2005 (UTC)
HRWiki:Featured article for 2005, week 35
- Well, let's get an early start on this one. Put alot of time an thought, and whatever into it. I'm thinking we hit... Main Pages this time. Whaddaya think? ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 02:26, 14 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- (I'm also thinking instead of choosing the article of the week for the week following, it would be best to keep a week ahead, especially while the bandwidth problems are rampant. Which means hopefully we can get this one decided on by this weekend (20th/21st). ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 05:31, 18 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- JoeyDay has suggested Strong Bad Email Statistics. I think we should do that one. It's a very interesting page, and the stats have been updated recently. All that needs writing is a good paragraph for the FA, which several people are already willing to do. —BazookaJoe 16:01, 22 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- Which several people already did. Waiting for a feedback. — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 16:07, 22 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- BTW, it is my understanding that since the forums have been moved to a different server, the bandwidth problems are a thing of the past (or, at least, a thing of the distant future; either way, not a problem right now). — It's dot com 16:13, 22 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- Oh really? Bandwidth is fixed? First I heard of this. Guess I missed Da memo... Since there wasn't one. But that's great about the bandwidth, sure makes me happy. Anyways, I'm up for Sbemail Stats. If you've already got the paragraph ready, then by all means, go for it. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 22:26, 22 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- Main Pages sounds good to me. I think that before we do the statisticts, we should do Strong Bad Email first. User:Rogue Leader.sig 22:34, 22 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- Strong Bad Email was the second FA that we did. —BazookaJoe 22:45, 22 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- Oh, my bad. I think that the statistics would be a little hard to make into one paragraph. Don't ya think? User:Rogue Leader.sig 22:48, 22 Aug 2005 (UTC)
