HRWiki:Featured article for 2010, week 25 (Jun 21-27)

How about The Reddest Radish? RickTommy (edits) 00:20, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

While this is (once again) over the limit of ten, there doesn't seem to be a clear consensus in some of the nominations above. Why not contribute your opinion there first instead of adding more weeks? StrongAwesome 00:53, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

I agree with Strong Awesome in that you should discus other things before bringing up something else. On a more related note, I don't really like the idea of featuring Reddish Raddish, but I don't know what we could replace it with. PowerPie

I came up with something: 404'd. PowerPie

Nevermind. That needs expansion. How abut Homestar Ruiner? PowerPie

If we were to do individual SBCG4AP episodes, they should be done in increments at a time. Instead, might I propose something that had been proposed before, but got bumped off by something else: Sterrance, but not Da Huuuuuuuudge, since the former appeared more often than the latter, and it was the one SB claimed to have gotten right. MHarrington 15:39, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Sterrance sounds good. PowerPie

Since we just did Sterrance, how about Basement of The Brothers Strong? PowerPie

Great idea. RickTommy (edits) 01:06, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

I guess Basement of The Brothers Strong won. Due to overwhelming demand, Basement of The Brothers Strong has been featured. --Stux 16:11, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2010, week 26 (Jun 28-Jul 4)

Cardboard Marzipan? RickTommy (edits) 10:44, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

What did the man say to you above? --Essence of Ghost Water 12:20, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

At this point, we're exactly 10 weeks out, so he's OK this time. Heimstern Läufer 12:21, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Oh. Anyhow, Cardboard Mazipan is a good choice. It's certainly better than Cardboard Homestar. --Essence of Ghost Water 12:24, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

While Heim's right and he's ok within the 10-week limit, RickTommy, why don't you give others a chance to make initial suggestions during the new few FA weeks for a change? There is no need to rush the FA process and you should give others a chance to weigh in their suggestions without them feeling rushed or like they need to follow a specific topic. Thanks. --Stux 18:08, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

I'd rather do something else, but if no-one else has an idea than we could do Cardboard Marzipan. PowerPie

I think Cardboard Marzipan would work. And consider this: the last day that the article will appear is on July 4th. That's when, in 2005, this character actually appeared the first time. MHarrington 18:22, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

I agree with the two above. No one has any other ideas. doctorwho295 25 June 2010

CARDBOARD MARZY! Gfdgsgxgzgdrc

can we create featured article pages if it's not that week yet? cczzuxbftyf Gfdgsgxgzgdrc

HRWiki:Featured article for 2010, week 27 (Jul 5-11)

New Paper? RickTommy (edits) 02:43, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Can We do Lookin' At a Thing In a Bag now? PowerPie

Umm, what about my idea instead? And besides, you could move this suggestion to Aug 2-8. RickTommy (edits) 13:17, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Your idea totally ignored the repeated messages to your talk page. — Defender1031*Talk 13:20, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

New Paper is sloppy and not written well. PowerPie

I disagree. Besides, it's been nearly a year since the New Paper "died", so if it's going to be featured, it'll hafta be around now. RickTommy (edits) 12:18, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

I think let's go with Lookin' At a Thing In a Bag. doctorwho295 15 June 2010

HRWiki:Featured article for 2010, week 28 (Jul 12-18)

Li'l Brudder? RickTommy (edits) 00:06, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Spotlight hogger. :P That aside, Lil Brudder is a good idea. PowerPie

I agree. Yeah, not much to say. --209.148.176.136 02:29, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

uh...what about...I'm thinking about it...tofu homestar? Gfdgsgxgzgdrc

HRWiki:Featured article for 2010, week 29 (Jul 19-25)

We usually feature a Sbemail around this time. How about either rock opera, bottom 10, your friends, death metal, or different town? RickTommy (edits) 00:17, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

You know, there's not much consensus on anything else. If you're so eager to get things done, I request you help with the others before you throw something else out.

Yeah, we could do bottom 10. PowerPie

And we need to keep this list below ten. And let someone else come up with an idea sometimes, please! MHarrington 15:30, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

I think we should do the rock opera email. MHarrington 06:41, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

From that list, death metal and rock opera are my favorites. So one of those would be great. --79.221.47.243 22:38, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Everybody to the Limit

HRWiki:Featured article for 2010, week 30 (Jul 26–Aug 1)

It does end on August 2nd, right? Anyways, how about Everybody to the Limit? PowerPie

That'd be a good one. MHarrington

Good. Also, I beat RickTommy. :D PowerPie

No, July has 31 days. The week ends on August 1. The Knights Who Say Ni 15:22, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Ah. Thanks for clearing that up for me. PowerPie

Yes! Everybody to the Limit is a great idea.

Credenza

I'd like to go with a pseudocharacter for this week. Charlemagne seems like a good choice, but Wormdingler and Credenza would work too. --Kingdom Stars 12:23, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Credenza would work, I suppose. MHarrington 02:08, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

I like Credenza. --79.221.47.243 22:40, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Strong Bad Sings

How about Strong Bad Sings instead? RickTommy (edits) 01:06, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

If you're talking about the toon, that's too short to work. If you're talking about the CD, we already did that. I'm all for featuring Credenza. PowerPie

For once, RickTommy, actually focus on what is already suggested instead of hogging the spotlight. --Kingdom Stars 02:24, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

SXSW Panel - 14 Mar 2005

For this week, how about something proposed long ago: the SXSW Panel from March 2005. MHarrington 01:05, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

It's comical and worthy of being featured. --209.148.176.136 12:11, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

We could do NYU Talk - 1 Mar 2005. PowerPie

For the record, the reason MHarrington suggested the interview he did was because of This. We opted for The Couch then. I like this specific interview, so I'm for it. StrongAwesome 20:50, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

This seems like a good idea. The only mild concern I have (which I alluded to last time) is the possibility that the writeup might be too short (it's a fairly short interview). If we can get a good writeup, though, I'm all for it. Heimstern Läufer 08:31, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

As I said, I think a more notable interview/public appearance should be featured instead. And what about my 20X6 suggestion? RickTommy (edits) 08:42, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

RickTommy, sometimes consensus doesn't go your direction. I think in this case that's what's happening: people are disagreeing with both of your points and favouring another option besides your suggestion. You've clearly stated that you think a more substantial appearance should be chosen and that you think this week should be 20X6. Others disagree. Constantly reiterating is not going to change people's minds, rather, it's going to make them annoyed. Heimstern Läufer 08:49, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Per that guy above me. --209.148.176.136 21:34, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

RickTommy, I think you really need to focus on everything else besides just this. You're really hogging it. Why don't you do Recent Changes instead? You can edit often and not just hog! My vote anyway is really for any interview. We haven't done any in several months. doctorwho295 15 June 2010

We really need to focus on some interview for this week. MHarrington 06:38, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Stinkoman 20X6

How about something 20X6-related instead? Perhaps either Make-O Your Own Stinko or Stinkoman 20X6 (I know we're waiting until it's finished, but at the rate the site is going, I don't think it'll ever be finished)? RickTommy (edits) 12:18, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

How about discussion rather than just throwing out ideas while ignoring previous suggestions? Heimstern Läufer 12:31, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

If we're going to do an interview or public appearance, how about a more notable one? I can't really think of one (I'm not really into that sort of stuff), and besides, I wholeheartedly believe that we should do something 20X6-related this week. RickTommy (edits) 12:38, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

RickTommy, that's the same thing you suggested for last week before it was deleted. So stop hogging the spotlight. --209.148.176.136 12:49, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

What's more, Stinkoman 20X6 is still incomplete. And judging by how things are looking on the website now, I think it will always remain incomplete. MHarrington 02:10, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Um, I said almost those exact words. Yes, it doesn't look like it will ever be finished. So it's no use waiting for it to be finished before we can feature it. RickTommy (edits) 06:10, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
