HRWiki:Featured article for 2010, week 12 (Mar 22-28)

~~Marzipan's House? RickTommy 02:48, 18 January 2010 (UTC)~~

Senor Mortgage? RickTommy 00:07, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

I don't know, it's too short. MHarrington 03:58, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

The original idea of featuring Marzipan's house might work better. It seems to have a decent amount of text, and we haven't done a place in a while now (not since the Movie Theater toward the end of last year). Heimstern Läufer

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)

Quick question: do you mean Sbemailiarized! or April Fool 09? RickTommy talk

05:25, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Ummm... RickTommy talk

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's Bupkis! 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)

Why are we even looking at Easter toons for this week when the article won't even come up until the day after Easter? This would really make more sense some other year when Easter and April Fool's Day don't conflict. Heimstern Läufer

08:49, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Well, back in 2007, we had a similar situation, when we were supposed to feature Matt Chapman on his birthday, but that had to be moved to the following week since it coincided with Hallowe'en. RickTommy 07:56, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Matt Chapman's birthday and H'ween will always conflict since they occur on the same day every year. By contrast, Easter is a moveable feast, and in future years, this conflict won't always happen. Heimstern Läufer

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. Strong Awesome

12:17, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, that'd be a good idea. MHarrington 07:41, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

It's a tad early after having just featured a sbemail (assuming best thing or geddup noise goes through above). Still, it is fitting for the day. Heimstern Läufer

08:51, 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)

I think the Corpy's not so bad (partly because of the gallery), but Pom Pilot does seem to me to be too short. P4P could be done, though I do kind of get the feeling we're doing too much recent stuff these days maybe. Heimstern Läufer

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)

Certainly would be good to something real-world. Yeah, I think that would work, from what I can see in the article. Maybe might be good to prepare the writeup a bit early so we can be sure it works (note: not saying right now. Just sometime as it gets closer.) Heimstern Läufer

07:49, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

I am not disagreeing with that article at all; in fact, I think that it would be great to do something real-life, seeing as how we haven't in a while. But, perhaps out of my silliness and stupidity, I feel that The Couch should be featured for this specific week. Strong Awesome

HRWiki:Featured article for 2010, week 18 (May 3-9)

Since it's been a while since our last set of dailies, how about Dangeresque characters, as MHarrington has previously suggested? Heimstern Läufer 07:43, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Good idea. But I have two other daily ideas:

Stuff in Old Flash Stuff (we can start off with Old Flash Stuff, then do six of the nine items in OFS. I'm wondering which three items will have to miss out; those three will probably need to be the three most important ones so they can have their own week.)
Main Pages (we can do six main Main Pages, then one of the secret ones. Sometime in the future, we will probably do three more MP dailies in this format. However, this means that one MP will get a week to itself; as Main Page 22 seems to be the most important Main Page, it will probably be the one.)

RickTommy 11:40, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Are you suggesting these ideas for this week or just sometime in the future? If the former, I really think the Dangeresque ones should take priority since they were suggested a while ago. Heimstern Läufer

11:45, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

If we're going to do the Dangeresque characters for a dailies set, how about this (as per what has been said repeatedly):
