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

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)

Well, it looks like #173 isn't going to happen by this week, but just a note about releasing montage alongside it: after #172 is out and we anticipate that #173 might be released, we could always wait 24 hours or so to begin that week's Featured Article. That is, have montage and another one ready, and begin the FA as soon as it's evident what the new update is going to be.

'Tis genius, I say! However, if there are three emails released in a row, I see this: Monday April 30, #171, Monday May 7, #172, and then Monday May 14, #173. Now, I estimate that it will be this week, or in the two weeks after, so to be honest, next week is a fairly good spot. But we'll adapt and plan around it.

But, if 173 doesn't come out this week, or for a back-up article, I think we should do the ever so medium-length Strong Sad's iPod. Or if we want longer, I don't see Thnikkaman bolded on the nomination page. Here comes the Featured Article... Bluebry 01:23, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

"Thnikkarticle". Ow! My bad pun reflex! Anyway, I think Thnikkaman is a good choice. — User:ACupOfCoffee @ 10:03, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Something that's not a character; we've featured two characters in a row. Heimstern Läufer

How about DNA Evidence. The mystery would make a great featured article!

Too short, I think. Heimstern Läufer

HRWiki:Featured article for 2007, week 22 (May 28-Jun 3)

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)

No Paper, as it was already featured. And I can also see a whole lot shinoligans going on the page with reverts after tons of new info is added. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 07:10, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

If not The Paper, how about Bear Holding A Shark since it hasn't been featured yet and it features an excellent writing choice.

Sam the Man

I could see re-featuring if email 173 results in a drastic change to the article, thus justifying putting the new info on the main page. But at this time we don't know if that will happen (remember, TBC may not actually have SB upgrade to an inkjet at all and may just dismiss it quickly). At any rate, I think it would be best for us not to re-feature immediately after 173: if there's no substantial change, it will not be worth re-featuring at all; if there is a substantial change, we'll likely need time for the dust to settle on the article, so to speak.

Bear Holding a Shark seems a little short. Note to self: come up with a good suggestion for this week. — User:ACupOfCoffee @ 09:53, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

I think it's time that Fonts got the spotlight for once. It's grown quite a bit. Anyone agree? ¤ The Mü _{Talk to me.} 19:29, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

I think it would be interesting to see a list-oriented page like Fonts or Sound Effects or something be featured. --DorianGray 19:38, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

How about Analysis of Homsar's Speech Patterns. Since we already have Homsar nominated and is sort of related to Crap in a way I'm not sure.

Sam the Man

Re: Fonts: List-like articles can be hard to feature, but we managed it with Secret Pages. Can we come up with a similar summary of the list of fonts? Re:Homsar's speech: I still feel this article has too many stretches too much speculation to really count as some of our finest work. I am not comfortable with featuring it. Heimstern Läufer
