HRWiki:Featured article for 2006, week 21 (May 22-28)

How about Crapfully Yours? Seems like a sure bet to me. — Seriously (Talk) 03:50, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

I want something other than a character or a gag. I watched Cool Things today... I forgot how awexome that toon really is. We should make a synopsis of it and make it the FA (and super-duper fix-up the article to make it an excellent representative article). —BazookaJoe 03:58, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
I concur its awexomeness, but should it really be a FA so soon? LePorello / T / C 04:06, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
Sure, everybody's forgotten about it by now. —BazookaJoe 04:24, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
You've got a great point. I love Cool Things too. 61.3-38.7 in favor. Full decision later. LePorello / T / C 04:27, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
Either Cool Things or Bug In Mouth Disease. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 04:44, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
I'm thinking maybe a computer such as The Compy or The Lappy. Neither have been a featured article. --Dacheatbot · Communicate 03:29, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
I suggest we feature the Compy the previous week and one of the two suggested toons this week. LePorello / T / C 12:41, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
I say we do a sbemail. We haven't done one in a really long time. · · T2|Things 00:11, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
We've never done a SBEmail as a feature. I do like Cool Things. LePorello / T / C 22:32, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
Although both toons are pretty kick-awesome, I happen to like Bug in Mouth Disease a tiny bit more than Cool Things. Just a personal decision. Has Matt? (talk) 22:37, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
If we are definitely going for one of the toons, then I have to say Cool Things. Otherwise, we should do the Compy. · · T2|Things 22:53, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
That's two for Cool Things, and two for Bug in Mouth Disease. We're getting behind again, so we need to pick one soon. ACupOfCoffee (Talk | contribs) 15:26, 9 May 2006 (UTC) (left unsigned)

I'm in favor of one of the big toons, but perhaps a slightly older one rather than a recent toon? Perhaps The Reddest Radish, or one of the other underdogs? Thunderbird 20:33, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

If not a new one, then A Jorb Well Done would be my vote. LePorello / T / C 21:03, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon. The longest and best full toon featuring the whole main characters.

It's looking like Cool Things has the most support. Bug in Mouth is also a fan favorite, but—hopefully not sounding biased here—more people seem okay with Cool Things. —BazookaJoe 20:04, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Cool Things gets my vote --Dacheatbot · Communicate 20:10, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

It occurs to me that we could perhaps have a themed feature around this week, something to do with the end of school. senior prom is an obvious choice, it's a bit early to feature that, and especially as our first Sbemail. I'd be happy with either another promish idea, or perhaps an article regarding Summer. Thunderbird 01:18, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Right. Certainly not senior prom, but I like the direction you're heading. —BazookaJoe 01:19, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

We could have the June character around here, which do you think is next in line? I would guess Strong Sad. Thunderbird 01:12, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

We could have a character around here too, possibly Strong Mad to finish off the Strongs? Thunderbird 01:14, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
