HRWiki:Featured article for 2007, week 1 (Jan 1-7)

This has been suggested before — Cold One? --Trogga 15:11, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

What aboutHappy Fireworks???? That seems to fit the occassion/ocassion/occasion/however it's spelled. I'm pretty sure more than just the USA celebrate New Years with Fireworks. And the toon is pretty much not clear what time of year this is supposed to be (even tho we know it came out in July). It's nominated and seems apropriate. Anyone agree?--Image:Stinkwing.gif »Bleed0range« 19:56, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
Meh, I'd rather not feature it on New Year's Eve. The Cold One page is good and I'm surprized it's not already featured. — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 20:15, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
Actually, thinking it through... I now see how The Cold One page can apply to New Years. lol. Ok, I vote on that too. It's a good idea.--Image:Stinkwing.gif »Bleed0range« 20:31, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
You guys might find this funny, but Cold Ones was going to be the featured article for the new year last year (this year). But due to technical bumbs in the road last year, Homestar Runner got bumped up early. I do not anticipate those problems this year. Jan 1, 2007 falls exactly on the start of MediaWiki's week 1. It won't be until 2018 when that happens again. —BazookaJoe 20:48, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
Re:Happy Fireworks: I do think we should do this for July 4th of 2007. We kind of meant to do it this year, and somehow it didn't work out right. Heimstern Läufer 21:31, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
I like Cold Ones. And it's already written up anyways. (The reason it got bumped last year was we were hoping the system would make "2006, week 1" start and end on Sunday the 1st. Instead it just overlapped "2005, week 52" to Sunday the first, then started week 1 on Monday. So we hastily bumped Homestar up to week 1, making him the first full feature of the year, and we didn't get around to picking another good time for cold ones). In any case, let's do it this year. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 00:02, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2007, week 2 (Jan 8-14)

What about Rather Dashing as a featured article? Everyone's favorite hero in short pants? That or we could do Naked Ned, which is a little more obscure. January always reminds me of them releasing the PQ Trailer, but that's already been featured before. --Image:Stinkwing.gif »Bleed0range« 20:51, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

I had a better idea, why don't we do Stinkoman as a featured article for the month of January? I was surprised it hasn't been done yet. Then maybe next month (February) we could feature 1-UP? Both articles have quite a bit of information and are interesting.--Image:Stinkwing.gif »Bleed0range« 03:56, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
Stinky may need a cleanup. --Trogga 15:03, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
Stinkoman sounds great to me. This year, our main focus, character-wise, has been on the main characters; that's probably why we haven't gotten to Stinkoman yet. If he needs cleanup, by all means, do it. It's a wiki! Heimstern Läufer 23:23, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
Hmm, too bad this article couldn't come up on 6 January, which is Stinkoman's birthday... that'd be even better than a Stinkoman-shaped pancake. But I guess we can give him a belated birthday present this year. Heimstern Läufer 00:03, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

We should do Stinkoman the week before and do Cold Ones this week. That would make sense. SaltyTalk! 23:20, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, the reason for doing Cold Ones the week before is so they could line up with New Year's Day. You know, the whole alcohol-New Year's connection? Heimstern Läufer 23:23, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
I think it's more important to feature Cold Ones for the New Years. But, it's only a few days off from Stinky's birthday. It would still be in the month of his birthday, and no one wants to see Cold Ones brushed off again. I likes it.--Image:Stinkwing.gif »Bleed0range« 07:28, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2007, week 3 (Jan 15-21)

How about we do one of those weeks where we feature daily articles? Specifically, a week devoted to some of the old games. A while ago, someone suggested featuring Strong Libs, but some people objected on the grounds that there's not much content to it. If we feature these articles for only a day, it's not such a problem if there's less content because it's only there for one day.

These are the games I was thinking of (most of which have had at least one reference in the modern era of H*R):

I can definitely make decent-sized FA write-ups for all of these. Here are your links:

I suggest Audition with Marzipan instead of Spin n' Say. —BazookaJoe 08:09, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2007, week 4 (Jan 22-28)

Bug in Mouth Disease? It's been suggested before and had a lot of support, although ultimately consensus went to Cool Things. Heimstern Läufer 00:34, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

That sounds good. --Trogga 17:25, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2007, week 5 (Jan 29-Feb 4)

Everything Else? We've featured strongbad_email.exe, and Vol. 2 was just released, and it seems like a good article. --Trogga 01:17, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2007, week 6 (Feb 5-11)

Seeing that the Super Bowl's this week, Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer or Superbowl Dealie seems like a no-brainer. --Trogga 01:17, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer seems more suitable to me, as it's got substantially more content. After a little calculating and researching on the internet, it looks to me like the Superbowl starts at 11 PM UTC, so this would come up an hour later, which I imagine would put it not all that far from halftime. Heimstern Läufer 05:49, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2007, week 7 (Feb 12-18)

How about Strong Sad's Lament. It has the only Valentines Day reference. --Theyellowdart 08:37, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Already been featured. --DorianGray

Thy Dungeonman (character) or Ye flask. Awesome articles. — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 11:11, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Well... how about... The Secrets That I Keep. That's probably the least-known H*R toon. Like, most people have never even seen it. --{User:Theyellowdart/sig}}.
