HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 11 (Mar 10-16)

Per the discussion page, how about Lappynapped!? wbwolf (t | ed) 03:45, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

All right, sounds like a fine idea. Note that this won't prevent us from also featuring retirement and/or cliffhangers someday should we choose to. Heimstern Läufer 17:20, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Let me put in a different idea Bad Graphics Ghost why have we not done this one. The-homsarrunner Mar 2 2008

We've kind of been discussing doing something relating to the Lappynapping saga for quite a while, and I don't see any reason to deviate from that plan.

As a more general note, could I ask everyone who contributes to this page to consider this: If an idea has already been suggested for a particular week, I think it's poor etiquette to suggest featuring a different article without explaining why it would be a better choice. It's kind of dismissing someone else's idea without a reason. I'm not suggesting that we should always feature whatever article is suggested first, but that we should remember always explain why another article would be better rather than just sticking our suggestion in conflict with the original. Heimstern Läufer 01:52, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

As someone who rarely makes the first post, I know Heimi's approach would be helpful to me in determining what consensus is or could be for any particular week. Having one main article to start would help in knowing what we are doing. That said, what is, indeed, on the table for this week? - Qermaq - (^T/C)  05:22, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Lappynapped! has been on the table for quite a bit: even before it was suggested, we had discussions elsewhere about featuring something from the Lappynapping saga, and, as Wbwolf suggests, this has also been discussed on the discussion page for this project page. Of course, this doesn't mean we have to feature it, but I would suggest that we should unless there is a clear reason to go a different direction. Hope that answers your question.

HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 12 (Mar 17-23)

Astro-Lite 2600. 124.181.65.132 09:12, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

For an entire week? I don't think it's nearly significant enough for that. Heimstern Läufer 17:16, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

How about Where's The Cheat? It was the longest running toon for 5 years. Sam the Man 17:19, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Wait, this is Easter week (Easter is on the 23). So why not Eggs (toon)? Sam the Man 23:53, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

I don't really think Eggs (toon) has sufficient content for an FA. Heimstern Läufer 06:23, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

How about Tiny-Handed Strong Bad? MHarrington 02:12, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Tiny-Handed Strong Bad is awesome! Let's feature him! Homestar-Winner (talk) 01:50, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Tiny Hands is my choice. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  05:26, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 13 (Mar 24-30)

After looking at the FA history for this year and the nominations, it looks like we haven't yet featured a Strong Bad email. I'd like to suggest comic, the origin of TGS? --Stux 17:35, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Like I said earlier ijn the year, how about a daily featured article week with Compy 386 emails. Just some classics: comic, japanese cartoon, dragon, crazy cartoon, personal favorites, monument, video games, your friends, invisibility, time capsule, monster truck. Sam the Man 17:43, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

dragon's already been featured, so it wouldn't include that. Some of those other ones may be significant enough to have a full week also (japanese cartoon, possibly). Heimstern Läufer 17:45, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

I counted eleven emails in that list, unfortunately the week only has seven! :S. However some of these (like japanese cartoon) have already been featured. Same goes with dragon and... I guess that's it. However, we may have featured more than I know: HRWiki talk:Featured Article Selection#Milestone emails. is a talk section I'm still going by and I think a better week-long selection might be garnered from that list (perhaps not, perhaps a common theme like Compy 386 might be better? not sure.) Anywho, at least with japanese cartoon, HRWiki:Featured article nominations isn't up to date (I remember updating the Milestone emails list) since I'm guessing lately we haven't been using that list for the nominations. So I suspect there may be other emails we have featured that haven't been marked as "featured". --Stux 17:55, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

I take back what I said. I can't find japanese cartoon in the FA history. Why the heck did I mark it!? --Stux 17:58, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

If that is the case, I would say japanese cartoon is long overdue as a featured article. wbwolf (t | ed) 05:20, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, we should just feature japanese cartoon this week. Homestar-Winner (talk) 19:59, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 14 (Mar 31-Apr 6)

Does April Fools' 2007 have enough information to be a featured article? Homestar-Winner (talk) 20:01, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

There was no April Fool's 2007. MHarrington 06:42, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Oops. I mean April Fools' 2006. Homestar-Winner (talk) 01:35, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

That article doesn't really have enough of a prose intro to be on the main page as it stands, and I'm not sure the topic really lends itself to a lengthier intro (someone may feel free to crush my doubts, though). Heimstern Läufer 06:59, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

How about one of the other April Fools' gags, such as Under Construction or HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!? wbwolf (t | ed) 16:20, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

I'd opt for Under Construction as it is older and more plot-driven. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  05:28, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Or maybe we don't even need an April Fools Day FA. We've never had one before. Maybe a Sweet Cuppin Cakes character like Eh! Steve! or even just Sweet Cuppin Cakes. Homestar-Winner (talk) 21:10, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm all for Under Construction. Sbemailnum314159 16:45, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, let's do that. We can save Sweet Cuppin Cakes for another day, can't we? MHarrington 03:03, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Fine by me. Homestar-Winner (talk) 12:10, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

In retrospect, we probably shouldn't have done japanese cartoon last week if we were going to do this one this week. A bit much 20X6. A BIT TOO MUCH OF A CHALLENGE?!?!?!?!?!?! Heimstern Läufer 19:01, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2008, week 15 (Apr 7-13)

Trog-Cave? Sam the Man 00:28, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

That article is far too short for featured status. May I suggest Biscuit Dough Hands Man instead? wbwolf (t | ed) 00:47, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Though a pseudo-character was featured recently, I think that's a good plan. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  03:45, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Sure, why not. Heimstern Läufer 23:20, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
