HRWiki:Featured article for 2010, week 8 (Feb 22-28)
1987? (I wonder how that page has so many hits, more than some e-mails...) Jc iindyysgvxc 11:09, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
- Well, I'm kinda on the fence on that one... MHarrington 16:42, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
HRWiki:Featured article for 2010, week 9 (Mar 1-7)
Now that it's the third month and officially six months after October, I think we should try again to do a set of dailies for this week. Once again, I'd like to do a set on "Dangeresque" characters, since we've never really done anything here, short of the the series as a whole. Here's what I think we should do: Dangeresque (Monday), Dangeresque Too (Tuesday), Renaldo (Wednesday), Cutesy Buttons (Thursday), Perducci (Friday), Killingyouguy (Saturday) and either Craig or Baron Darin Diamonocle (Sunday). MHarrington 20:15, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
Great idea! --SamuelGuy10 21:07, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
- Six months after October is April, not March. Heimstern Läufer
23:16, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
- Well, I think the time is right now to do this. MHarrington 03:03, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
- I disagree. I still think it's too early after the most recent set of dailies. It's a real pain from the sysops' perspective of making sure all our main page images are protected, and even without that factor, I'm convinced the minimum gap between sets of dailies should be six months (making twice a year the maximum we're ever going to get). Heimstern Läufer 04:03, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
- But if we were to do this in April, then wait about six months to do this, wouldn't the next one have to wait to be available until November? Usually, we do one right around October or so. Well, anyway, how about doing something like... another character relationship! I'm thinking of Marzipan and Coach Z's Relationship. That one has a surprisingly sufficient amount of text to justify it, in my book. MHarrington 07:12, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
- I have no memory of us "usually" doing a set of dailies in October. If that's indeed the case, I've no doubt it's just coincidence, nothing intentional. As for Marzi and Coach Z, though, I rather like that idea. Heimstern Läufer 02:42, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
- I think that doing dailies is a great idea!!! But I think we should replace the small characters that have small articles and replace them with longer Dangeresque related things like Dangeresque Roomisode 1: Behind the Dangerdesque or something like that Rondleman!
Stuff I did.Talk. 17:23, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
- Well, the small articles are really the reason I went that way in the first place. So what should we do? MHarrington 07:31, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2010, week 10 (Mar 8-14)
Pi? RickTommy 08:46, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
- The prose intro is far too short at this point. Heimstern Läufer 13:11, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
- If we're going to use this for an article, here's a start for a write-up:
Pi is a numerical constant for the ratio between a circle's circumference and its diameter, written as π, and numerically as 3.14. This number was often used in the Homestar Runner universe, such as a price ($3.14), a time (3:14), "tt" replaced by π, and even a mini-game in Strong Badia the Free as "Pizza π". (more...)
That'sBupkis! 13:52, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
- The article is still too short, since there is not much beyond the write up. Also, a reminder: it's not necessary to do write-ups for articles at this point, we should just stick with discussion of the merits of articles. As an alternate, would it be too soon to feature another email, such as long pants? wbwolf (t | ed) 16:14, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
- I'd like to throw The Beatles into this discussion. cash money tc 19:52, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
- It's too short. MHarrington 03:46, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
- More accurately, the intro is too short. Given the nature of the topic, I'm not sure if it would benefit from a longer intro; that would work better in Wikipedia. wbwolf (t | ed) 05:31, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
- Coming back to this week, since it doesn't look like we have a viable alternative yet, may I suggest one that was passed over before, geddup noise? wbwolf (t | ed) 01:11, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
- An email sounds good, but then I thought of the one on this week.. but then i thought to take it one step further and say Limozeen: "but they're in space!". I think that it's a decent article to feature. StrongAwesome
03:43, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
- I think it would be better to feature the SBEmail this came from, rather than the TV Show. We're still thin on featuring ones from 2005 (and this fits the bill). Thus, I'm open to either best thing or geddup noise. wbwolf (t | ed) 04:18, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Atari Strong Bad, Lil' Strong Bad, or Atari Homestar. RickTommy 12:20, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
- You really couldn't have waited another, what, twelve hours so that you would have stayed within ten weeks as we've asked you to several times now?
- As for your suggestions, both Atari articles are too short. Lil' SB might be a possibility. Heimstern Läufer 13:51, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Marzipan's House? RickTommy 02:48, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
HRWiki:Featured article for 2010, week 13 (Mar 29-Apr 4)
It's April Fools' Day, so how about homestarrunner.com Pay Plus? RickTommy 02:48, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
- I think we should do something that was proposed long ago: Sbemailiarized!. MHarrington 04:23, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
HRWiki:Featured article for 2010, week 14 (Apr 5-11)
It's Easter (well, it actually was last week), so how about either Eggs or Rotten Eggs? RickTommy 00:05, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
- We're getting a little ahead here. But anyways, I don't think we did either of them. Eggs may not have much of a write-up. That'sBupkis! 00:13, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
- How about to change things up we put easter eggs as the featured article? Just an idea.--safariventureman 02:01, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
- I think anything with the word "egg" in it will work. Maybe even Eggs (Running gag) could work Rondleman! Stuff I did.Talk. 22:03 16 February, 2010 (UTC)
- No, it's way too short. MHarrington 16:01, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2010, week 15 (Apr 12-18)
It's Cheatday, so how about cheatday? RickTommy 05:20, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
- It seems like you have decided that the limit is 11 weeks, as opposed to 10, which you have been reminded of repeatedly. But cheatday sounds like a good idea. StrongAwesome 12:17, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, that'd be a good idea. MHarrington 07:41, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
HRWiki:Featured article for 2010, week 16 (Apr 19-25)
How about either Pom Pilot or Corpy NT6? Or, since it's Earth Day, Pistols for Pandas? RickTommy 10:34, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
- They both have sufficient text amounts, but not really enough appearances. And as for P4P, no comment. MHarrington 07:41, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
HRWiki:Featured article for 2010, week 17 (Apr 26-May 2)
For this week, how about something "live"? I'm thinking the the SXSW Panel from March 14, 2005. Combine the intro with a summary of the script and it would work, I think. MHarrington 07:41, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
