HRWiki:Featured article for 2007, week 11 (Mar 12-18)

If we're continuing the Stinkoman patten all year, then I say The Homestar Runner should be next. --Trogga 15:27, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

If we're continuing the Stinkoman pattern all year, then wouldn't Pan Pan be next? and The Homestar Runner be set for January of 2008? ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 07:37, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, there aren't many notable 20X6 characters, so I say we do any main character variation each month this year. But I'm fine with either The Homestar Runner or Pan Pan for March. --Trogga 21:15, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

If we do Pan Pan this week, it will be only two weeks after 1-Up. Seems a bit soon to me. Heimstern Läufer

20:23, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Ah, I misunderstood what you meant. Come to think of it, I wouldn't mind doing a year of Strong Bad alter-egos. Those pages all have a decent ammount of content and are distinctively different. We could cycle through on a monthly basis such articles as Strong Badman, Sterrence and Old-Timey Strong Bad. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 04:30, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

As I've suggested above, I'm not in favor of this idea. I think focusing on SB variations alone puts too much focus on one character. Re:This week: I think we should look in the direction of something not character related, since we will be featuring a character in week 9. Heimstern Läufer

21:22, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

We haven't featured a running gag in a while... maybe Aliases Used in Prank Calls? Heimstern Läufer

23:11, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Sounds like a good idea to me — especially since the last release was an Answering Machine.

Trey56 16:38, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes. I agree also. It looks like we're running out of time. Anybody else? --TheYellowDart—(t/c) 22:39, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

There's really no time left for speculation. We should use that! — ^Sam

HRWiki:Featured article for 2007, week 12 (Mar 19-25)

I suggest we use Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon. This is the week it came out and it was a very funny cartoon in my oppinion. --Dacheatbot · Communicate 01:19, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

~~That's an OK idea, but I wanna see an Answering Machine featured for once. Maybe Version 9.2?~~ --Trogga 17:34, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Seeing that Aliases Used in Prank Calls was just chosen as this week's (or last week's) FA, let's feature something non-MAM related next instead. Maybe Sweet Cuppin' Cakes? --Trogga 02:06, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I support Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon. I also think that all the Big Toons should be featured at some point. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 09:04, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Pan Pan is also a good idea, if we're still doing a character every month. --Trogga 00:28, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Still a bit too recently after 1-Up, to my mind. I'm all for Stark Schlecht ist im Gefängnis. Heimstern Läufer

00:32, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

It's almost time to post the next article. Any last-minute votes? — ^Sam

_Fisher _{(Come in, Lambert.)} 13:39, 18 March 2007

Sure, SBIIJC will work. —BazookaJoe 20:44, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Ahh, crap! I just noticed that the DVD commentary isn't even started. I guess that forces me to do that tonight. —BazookaJoe 20:46, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2007, week 13 (Mar 26-Apr 1)

The King of Town's Castle or House of the Brothers Strong, anyone? --Trogga 15:27, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

I like House of the Brothers Strong. It's more organized, is seen more often on the site and is probably more important in the H*R universe. Not that I don't like the Castle, I just think that the House should be featured first. — Has Matt? (talk) 13:40, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, of the two, the Brothers' House article is closer to being ready to be featured. More info and more central to the Homestar Runner universe.

Trey56 16:43, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Out of the main places (see the Places page), The Stick is the only one not featured, and for a good reason: If have hardly any info in it! I'm starting a talk there for people to add more info. If it's ready in two weeks time, then let's feature it. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 09:09, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

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

I don't think we've featured a sbemail yet this year. Maybe rock opera? --Trogga 15:27, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Depending on the regularity of Strong Bad Emails, it is slightly possible that it might be almost time for email #173 by this time. It might not be until May or June though, or even later. In any case, I would like to see montage appropriately setup for the featured Strong Bad email of the spring, and used the week after the release of email #171 or so, just so that we're not left behind schedule if TBC decide to begin #173 an email early, and continue into another email story arc. That way we'll bring to light the long ago prophecy of The Paper's retirement to those who may have been unaware or forgotten it. I bring this up so we don't have rock opera and montage featured right near each other. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 07:48, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, why don't we wait this one out a bit and see where we are by mid-March or so; i.e., what number of sbemails we're at by then. Then we can make a better-informed decision. Heimstern Läufer

20:25, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

After last week's MAM and the KOT VOQPCS the week before, I think we're safe to wait this one out a bit more. If we get sbemails from here on out, we'll be at 171 by this point. Maybe this week we could feature Pan Pan, as some have suggested? Heimstern Läufer

00:39, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2007, week 15 (Apr 9-15)

Hey, how about Don and Harriet Chapman? He did die this time last year. Lest we forget... TheYellowDart—(t/c)

I don't think that's a good idea. The death of the TBC's father is essentially a family issue, and I don't think it's our position to make a memorial on the anniversary of this event. Heimstern Läufer

06:10, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Do you have any better ideas? What's wrong with remembering him? MAy his legacy last forever... like Steve Irwin! TheYellowDart—(t/c)

Nothing's wrong with remembering him. But it's a little intrusive to put up a memorial-esque FA of him, as Heimstern said. Especially since they never even announced this officially. It's going to be a tough week for the family, and we shouldn't be showcasing it this week no matter how nice we make it look. —BazookaJoe 01:28, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree, that's not the best idea. And I DO have a better idea! What about {fanfare} Cool Tapes!...? Bluebry 01:33, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Cool Tapes sounds better. Sure. But wouldn't that be better for August? TheYellowDart—(t/c)

Just making sure: We're talking about the band, right? Not the toon, which is called Cool Things (and has already been featured)? Heimstern Läufer

05:15, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, the band. And also, Theyellowdart, we don't HAVE to feature things around the time they were released. (I assume by August, you meant Cool Tapes first appearance ;-)) Bluebry 05:58, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Cool Tapes seems... a little on the short side. Maybe DaVinci's Notebook (which has just been greatly expanded) instead? --Trogga 20:09, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

That is something that most people don't know about. And that article has a good amount of content. I say we do it. --Dacheatbot · Communicate 23:46, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah... I guess... It does have much more content that Cool Tapes. Bluebry 15:11, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Hm, I dunno: it's just that Da Vinci's notebook has only contributed to one toon. But in the vein of contributors, what about someone like Craig Zobel? He even helped direct some of the toons, which a lot of people might not know. As a side note, I think that Contributors could make a great featured article someday, but right now it's too much of a list.

Trey56 17:03, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Coach Z seems a little on the short side. --Trogga 19:31, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

montage. This one will require a bit of timing, and thus could be moved up or back depending on TBC's schedule, but we should feature this email when the release of email #173 is imminent. — It's dot com 01:20, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Ooooh... montage on #email 173... I like it, but I believe the featured article changes on Sundays, and email #173 should be out most likely on either a Monday or Tuesday... So, I'd like to see it happen, but it may be too hard to do. If so, a rough estimate should suffice. I'm taking a wild random guess that estimate is somewhere around here. Bluebry 01:25, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2007, week 21 (May 21-27)

The Paper. This one goes hand-in-hand with the above. (Yes, I know we already featured The Paper on week 47 of 2005.) — It's dot com 01:20, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
