HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 14 (Mar 30-Apr 5)

I think for this week, we should have Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 14.2, in which one of the messages, from Strong Sad, is on April Fools' Day pranks. MHarrington 18:59, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Well, since this is April Fool's week, and, um, we should... crap. What was that one article? I was gonna mention that one article on something... about... something... Aw, nevermind. If I think of it, I won't call you back. That Game Dude 386 21:04, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
That is still one of the most bizarre messages Marzy's ever gotten. I'm all about Main Paging it. Heimstern Läufer 10:51, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
We should do the most bizarre thing on the site. Or something fake. Just because we're a Wiki doesn't mean we can't have a little fun with April fools, right?--Thy Not Dennis (t/c) 17:42, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Is there anything in particular you support featuring instead of MAM 14? And if so, why? Heimstern Läufer 06:36, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
Well, the only other things I can think of are either PayPlus! or maybe even sb email 22 (but that one is not really considered April Fool's, though). At least MAM 14 mentions April Fool's at one time. So we could kill two birds with one stone here: do a holiday theme and do something that only recently got recognition. MHarrington 16:37, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

I think we should feature credit card for april fools because he pranks homestar!--Safariventureman 18:51, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

*facepalm* Credit Card came two months before April Fool's. I support PayPlus! or MAM 14.2 (only for the theme, not the quality of the toon itself) getting featured. BBG 19:15, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
As no one has actually bothered to give any reasons against the original suggestion, I'm going to call this discussion in favour of MAM 14. Heimstern Läufer 02:01, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 15 (Apr 6-12)

I think it's finally time to feature email thunder. With full-length hremails about, I think we should feature their origin. That Game Dude 386 16:45, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Well, while I do agree that email thunder needs to be featured soon, I think that, this week, with it supposedly being Spring Break for many people, we should do The Luau, something that a lot of people have been clamoring for. Maybe we can do email thunder next week. MHarrington 01:13, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
Yes, this week seems quite a bit better for The Luau than the one I proposed. I'm all for it. —Guard Duck talk 06:31, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
The Luau seems like a good selection. However, I really believe that it's way too early to feature email thunder. --Stux 03:17, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 16 (Apr 13-19)

For this week, I think we should do another live appearance by something TBC-related: a concert by TMBG, only this time from 2006. MHarrington 07:12, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

I think Hremails deserve a shot. By the time this article's date rolls around, ther'll be plenty of them (hopefully). — MichaelXX2 mail_icon.gif link_icon.gif 23:23, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
Key word: hopefully. I'm not a nonbeliever, but by the small chance that it doesn't continue very far, we better save that nomination until then. JCM 02:17, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
Unfortunately, the TMBG Concert - 3 May 2006 page is rather short and contains little information, as well as having no good quality pictures. I think that Fightgar, an idea proposed a couple weeks back, deserves to be featured. —Guard Duck talk 02:33, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
How about Bug In Mouth Disease because it has most inside references in it and it's really funny to watch.-Record307 Talk/Contribs 02:39, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
Bug in Mouth Disease has already been done. BBG 02:43, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
Reply to GuardDuck: I want to do another live appearance by something TBC-related that had pictures, and after a search, the TMGB concert came to mind. Maybe if we were to expand the intro somewhat, that could help. MHarrington 16:49, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
I'm afraid I have to agree that this article isn't really suitable for featuring at this point. The info on the appearance is just too sparse at this point. Heimstern Läufer 06:26, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
Okay, then how about TBC's trip to ROFLCon in 2008? MHarrington 15:42, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
That one's pretty stubby, too, and I know there's a lot more information out there that needs to be added. Heimstern Läufer 06:37, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
Okay, then, I've got it: the Pulse Interview of 2003. That one is a bit longer and features pictures to boot. MHarrington 17:56, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 17 (Apr 20-26)

For this week, we should do the email 50 emails. MHarrington 16:57, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

I agree that 50 emails definitely needs featuring sometime soon, but there seems to have been quite a clamor for email thunder over the past few weeks, and I think we need to do that one sooner rather than later. —Guard Duck talk 05:42, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
All right, I guess we can do email thunder this week, but can we do "50 emails" before this year is up? After all, I believe that's what somewhat started the whole email anniversary phenomenon. MHarrington 17:38, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 18 (Apr 27-May 3)

For this week, how about doing one on Hremails, especially in the wake of email thunder, regardless of what's happening on Week 17. MHarrington 01:01, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Hremails sounds fine to me. —Guard Duck talk 01:26, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
Me, too.-Record307 Talk/Contribs 12:34, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 19 (May 4-10)

This week I thought we could to Ballad of the Sneak. It's an important toon, one of the more famous Old Timey ones, and I think it's unique in that it showcases more collaboration between the Chaps and external parties. —Guard Duck talk 02:30, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

I suppose that one would work, but if we were to do that one, we should also do first The Cheat Theme Song, which is just as important if not more so. MHarrington 22:51, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
The Cheat Theme Song is probably more important as it launched a new spin-off. BBG 23:05, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
Either one can work for me, although now that you mention it, The Cheat Theme Song does seem more important than Ballad of the Sneak. —Guard Duck talk 20:55, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 20 (May 11-17)

For this week, we should have another Cheat Commandos character: Fightgar. MHarrington 00:48, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

People have been pushing Fightgar for a while, I'm all for it. —Guard Duck talk 05:36, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 21 (May 18-24)

If we did the Tire already, we should do another resident of Strong Badia. I'm thinking the Stop Sign this time. MHarrington 04:31, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

I dunno, part of me thinks we did Tire a little too recently to feature another Strong Badian inanimate object, and the Stop Sign article seems a bit stubbish. I was thinking we could do something like Basement of the Brothers Strong, since we haven't done an actual room in a pretty long time. —Guard Duck talk 05:36, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
The only reason I suggested the Stop Sign is because of the pattern of the release on articles related to all of Strong Bad's computers throughout 2006 (I believe the Tandy was featured for week 2 of that year and the Compy for week 20), and I thought we could do something similar to this. MHarrington 16:43, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 22 (May 25-31)

For this week, we should do one on Strong Bad Smiling. MHarrington 01:23, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

If the intro wasn't so short, I'd say Lack of Visible Body Parts is overdue. BBG 01:37, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
Well, we could touch up on the different examples in the article itself. I know it's not our usual approach, but that does not mean we can't do things different once in a while, can it? MHarrington 06:20, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
