Weeklies

HRWiki:Featured article for 2007, week 31 (Jul 30-Aug 5)

I say Food and Drinks get a spotlight this week. How about Mountain Dew, Potate, SBLOUNSKCHED! Bar or Fluffy Puff Marshmallows. Sam the Man 14:17, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Those sound good, but I wanna see something real-world featured for once. Maybe TMBG Concert - 25 Sep 2004? --Trogga 19:40, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

If we're going to feature something real-world, we should cover Georgia Tech - 26 Apr 2007 instead. It's the most recent and up-to-date of their public appearances and has relatively few page views. Also, you can't enjoy the TMBG Concert through the medium of text. The transcript doesn't do it great justice. Instead, you need to purchase it to appreciate it. Not everyone has credit cards, you know! Therefore, it will be better to feature something informative that all can enjoy reading than something musical which only a minority can enjoy listening to. – T he C hort 17:18, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

I support GT, it's a great article. - Qermaq - (^T/C)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2007, week 32 (Aug 6-12)

Following Trogga's suggestion, I say we feature Strong Badman. Sam the Man 23:48, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Sure. Has good length, easy to summarize, and some other third thing. --

Super Martyo boing! 23:55, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm down. Good writing, good length. Yeah, sure. Bluebry 17:15, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Not a huge fan of doing this two weeks after another SB-related character (Senor Cardgage). Yes, I realize SC is really a separate character, but still, a little overly SB-focused in my mind. Heimstern Läufer

Maybe Nintendo instead? --Trogga 19:22, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Nintendo sounds like a great idea. Good lead, good length, many images, and an important part of the body of work. — Has Matt? (talk) 13:49, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2007, week 33 (Aug 13-19)

Senor Cardgage? Sam the Man 15:12, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps move alternate universe here if Senor is gona be week 30? - Qermaq - (^T/C)

23:14, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

How's Big Knife sound? --Askingforachallenge 02:27, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2007, week 34 (Aug 20-26)

Action Cool 5? Sam the Man 15:12, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Maybe, but it seems to me that most to all of the important content would fit on one FA section. Craig Zobel? Bluebry 17:15, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Too short and unsourced. Homestar Runner and Marzipan's Relationship? --Trogga 02:35, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2007, week 35 (Aug 27-Sep 2)

The Battle of Strong Badia? Sam the Man 15:12, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

That sounds OK, but I'd rather see Weclome Back featured this week. You know, with Summer ending and everything. --Trogga 02:20, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2007, week 36 (Sep 3-9)

Georgia Tech - 26 Apr 2007? Sam the Man 15:12, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

You know, we haven't had a public appearance as a FA so far this year. Seeing as this is a fairly recent article and has been accessed relatively few times, I like the idea of giving it some much-needed publicity. I mean, I didn't know this article existed 5 minutes ago! – T he C hort 15:56, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

I CONCUR. It seems to be a pretty good idea. The only thing I can think of is whether or not we can fit enough info onto the FA section thing. Bluebry 17:15, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

I've already suggested a public appearance for an earlier week. How bout Corpy NT6 instead? --Trogga 22:02, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

No, it's too short. If you were to feature it, you would have a daily feature thing with other computers. How about Sweet Cuppin' Cakes or Painting of a Guy with a Big Knife?
