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)
I agree with The Cheat Theme Song for this week, but which spinoff did it launch? Thy Not Dennis (t/c) 11:14, 26 April 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)
If we just copied the general intro and the intros to each individual section, here's how long it would be. BBG 23:39, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
I like the idea of Lack of Visible Body Parts. Strong Bad Smiling seems like too much of a controversial page to be featured on the big screen. —Guard Duck talk 02:18, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
I think the intro for Lack of Visible Body Parts should be long enough now. I guess we can go that route. MHarrington 19:17, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
I'm shocked we haven't featured Senorial Day yet. This would be the perfect week to feature it. We can hold off on Body Parts for another week. wbwolf (t | ed) 16:39, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
I never thought about that one. Sure, now that you mention it, let's do Senorial Day instead and save "Lack of Visible Arms" for another day. MHarrington 04:25, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 23 (Jun 1-7)

For this week, we should do an article on Crack Stuntman. Granted, I know that we would have done a Cheat Commandos-themed article a few weeks ago, but Crack isn't necessarily limited to that series. MHarrington 05:59, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

I disagree. I believe that an article on something like Coach Z's track is long overdue, but we would have to expand the information a bit... Or we could do an article on Puppet Stuff. OpenSourceGreg 05:49, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
That was done already. Besides, Crack should get his due. Besides, he has a bit more information to go on. MHarrington 17:15, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
Actually, I like the idea of doing a place, although the Race Track article seems a tad blunt. What if we did The Athletic Field instead? It's a very important sporting venue, and it's featured in many, many toons. —Guard Duck talk 02:11, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, that's probably what was meant... OpenSourceGreg 12:36, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 24 (Jun 8-14)

For this week, we should try again to do Crack Stuntman. MHarrington 06:02, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2009, week 25 (Jun 15-21)

This week, we should do something for which I feel is long overdue for inclusion as a featured article: Blatant Lies. MHarrington 15:27, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Decent sized intro, quite a bit of content besides, major theme of the site. Good prize! ding! wbwolf (t | ed) 16:35, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
