In the past, about this week, we usually feature something related to either [[20X6]] or [[Trogdor]]. This year, I was thinking of doing both at the same time with the Trogdor-centric toon: [[Happy Trogday]]. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 00:05, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

::::::I think Trogday 08 is a good idea for sometime, but since Happy Trogday was suggested first and has a high degree of support, we should go for that this time. Incidentally, Tatpoj, if there's already a suggestion on this page and you make a new suggestion, it's best to make sure you address the previous suggestions and why you think yours is preferable (this is not really a vote, but rather a discussion).

This will mark a while since we've done a character or pseudocharacter. I think it would be well worth our time to feature [[Tire]]: A remarkably detailed article about an inanimate object that is nonetheless often treated as a character. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 13:19, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

This is a placeholder topic for 5-year redirects. Due to overall decreased activity, FAs are now being reused more often.  The common practice has become to redirect to the FA exactly 5 years prior to the current FA.  When an article is re-used, mark it in the following manner:

While we are on the subject of former countries in [[Strong Badia The Free]], I think we should do a location that needs an article badly: namely, [[Club Technochocolate]] (formerly [[Strong Badia The Free|Pompomerania]]). It's been a while since we've done an actual location anyway. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 17:13, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:It seems like a solid article to me; I'm cool with it. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 08:06, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
+
-
::As a location in the HR universe, I'm down with it, but we should feature [[SBCG4AP]] and all the games in it before we start listing SBTF loctions... or better yet, we could do SBCG4AP and the games on a daily baisis, like we did for Puppet Jams and other puppet stuff a while back. Sound good? Otherwise, [[Club Technochocolate]] is good, but I think we can hold it off until SBCG4AP has been featured... {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 14:33, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:::I'm not talking about doing Pompomerania, I'm talking about just doing what it really is: Club Technochocolate. As for doing SBCG4AP on a weekly basis, we only have five episodes, not seven. And any of them would work well solo, I think. So I'm only talking about Club Technochocolate for this week. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:06, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
+
-
::::OK, CTC is good, and next week I'll elaborate on my plans to feature SBCG4AP... {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 21:36, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

OK, so here's my proposal for an SBCG4AP week: We feature [[SBCG4AP]], [[SBCG4AP Dev Blog]], and each of the five episodes daily. Great idea, or no? {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 00:41, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
+
== Discussions of Articles Needing Expansion ==
-
:Except maybe for the Dev Blog, I think those are all important enough to get a whole week, not just a day. How about just [[SBCG4AP]] for now, and feature the individual episodes another time? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:45, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
+
:''Discussions in this section regard articles that, per consensus, require further expansion of the article itself before the article should be featured.''
-
::OK. Man, I ''still'' can't beleive we haven't already done it! {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 00:57, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
+
-
:::<s>I think we were waiting to feature it until all 5 episodes were released, and until it was cleaned up a little bit. Personally, I think the actual [[SBCG4AP]] page should just be a disambig sometimes, and I certainly don't think it's ready for featuring. </s> {{User:Acam30/sig}} 16:14, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

:::::Okay, I'm sure we can do SBCG4AP now. Not the individual games, but just the series as a whole. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:11, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

::::::Note to Acam30: Although in current times they haven't been released, by the time we get to feature this article, it'll be late Janurary... I sure '''''hope''''' they've all been released for a while!!! {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 22:50, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

:::Maybe these articles would raise awareness of the DVDs. I have two of them. And one DVD-only thing ([[Real-Live E-mails]]) has already been featured. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:11, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

-
:::Right! [[User:Ninja pom pom|Ninja pom pom]] 22:19, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::::I don't think this really would make a good FA, since it's an incomplete toon. I am, however, in full support of any other DVD-related stuff... I would think [[Why Come Only One Girl?]] would be a bit more easy to do, if it's not done already. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 01:22, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:::::It has not been done before and I guess it can be done. At least it's more "complete". [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 01:48, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::::::First off, in reply to the first two posts in this thread: Someone makes a comment, and then his grandma shows up immediately to support him? Boy, ''that'' doesn't look suspicious. Second, in reply to That game dude, unfortunately, Why Come Only One Girl is currently fully protected from editing due to circumstances beyond our control; and I don't feel it should be featured until such a time, if any, that this issue is resolved. As for 'Tis True, Pom Pom: The fact that it's unfinished could be viewed as an asset, not a liability, since I personally think it would be interesting to see a featured article about a work they never finished (and never will, presumably). I wouldn't oppose featuring [[Wikipedia:Symphony No. 8 (Schubert)|Schubert's 8th Symphony]], so I won't oppose here. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 02:01, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

:::::::::Valentine's Day is next week. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 00:04, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::::::::::I think "'Tis True" is a reasonable choice. I wish we could feature Why Come Only Girl, but I think putting it on the main page would only raise awareness of the problem, which we don't want. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:56, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:::::::::::Geez, 2 years now, and it ''still'' hasn't been fixed? What kind of a problem is that? Anydangway, I think 'Tis True, Pom Pom will work, upon further inspection. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 02:15, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::::::::::::Also, Heimstern, [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Featured_Article_Selection&diff=614302&oldid=613776 this edit] shows that Ninja Pom Pom and his "grandma" both edited the same time. {{User:HRjcm/sig}} 22:09, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

:::::::::::::Both added by NPP. {{User:Red And Black/siggy}} 10:47, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

This week, we should the oft-neglected word gag [[Dennis]], since we've already done [[Ye Flask]]. Ye hasn't seen Dennis in a fortnight, afterall! {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 19:11, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:That would be interesting, wouldn't it? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 07:14, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::Yes. <strike>We could also do the other Thy Dungeonman name gag [[Dan]], too. But I kinda like [[Dennis]] better.</strike> {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 15:08, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:::Dan doesn't really have the needed prose introduction at this point. Dennis is possible, though it's a bit frustrating how little text there is beyond the prose intro. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:30, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

::::Yeah, let's not do Dan. Support Dennis. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 02:18, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

For this week, we should feature someone who is long overdue for a featured article: [[Marshie]]. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 22:33, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:Marshie has already been featured. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 03:28, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::This is the week where winter turns to spring... and I suggest we celebrate that by featuring [[The Luau]], a very spring-ish toon that I've always held high respect for. {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 05:25, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:::Oh, right. I forgot. Never mind. Anyway, how about doing instead [[Strong Bad smiling]]? That one has a sufficient amount of text. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 18:23, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::::[[The Luau]] is long long overdue to being featured.  In many ways, it marked the beginning of the modern H*R era, so it's very significant. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 03:11, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:::::What if we did that one before this spring is up? We would've just already done a big toon for Valentine's Day, if we go that route. How about doing something like, say, [[Strong Badman]], instead? He, too, is long overdue. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:37, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::::::Hmm, good point.  I realized that after I posted my support.  [[The Luau]] does need to be done soon (maybe later in March, week 12 or so?), so we could do Badman, since it's been a while since we've done a variation. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 06:57, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 
-
:::::::I think Strong Badman would be a good idea, and then do the Luau sometime in March. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 10:39, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 
-
::::::::I actually think it'd be a good idea to do [[Strong Bad Smiling]], as that is a bit more prominant in the H*R universe. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 00:30, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::::::::I think we should finish the cleanup thing before featuring Strong Bad Smiling.  When did it stop being out of character for Strong Bad? {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 20:50, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::::::::::I can't see the part that needs cleanup. Some folks say there needs to be less screenshots, but I folks say that really isn't in need of cleanup. If it gets to be an FA, there will be less debate, so if we go with this, it won't need cleanup any more. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 00:43, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::::::::::There's some amount of controversy as to whether the article should even exist, you see, since Strong Bad smiling has become much more common than in the past. I still think Strong Badman is a better way to go. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:46, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::::::::::::Strong Badman would be nice. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 06:02, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:But Strong Badman has only 2 non-easter egg website appearences. I don't think that Strong Bad Smiling is too prominent- if it's less than 50% of the time, it's not frequent. A few instances in a row isn't enough to delete it, and if it gets to be an FA, then that would be the end to the controversy. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 15:22, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::But if there's so much controversy, it might not deserve to be a Featured Article. It would be like if "Awesome" was still around, and people still failed to find the notability, so I featured that just to shut everyone up.  It just doesn't seem logical or fair (I can't find the right word now) to me. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 15:50, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::I still feel that Smiling is more significant, but we're running out of room here. Let's go with Strong Badman. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 16:41, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

===[[HRWiki:Featured Article for 2009, week 10]] (Mar 2-8)===

This week, let's do either [[Arrow'd Guy]] or [[The Ugly One]]. Take your pick. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 16:38, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:We could do Arrow'd Guy and do The Ugly One later in the year, like around Week 20 or so. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 19:45, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 
-
::Grood. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 20:19, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:::Why Arrow'd Guy first when we haven't finished featuring all the girls (the actual central characters) first? Mind you, I do think we should feature both this year, but I'd support The Ugly One first. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:19, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

I think for this week, we should do something like the [[Storybook World]] from whence the whole thing got started. [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 20:20, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
 
-
:How 'bout... THE 2009 WEEK OF ALL OF THE ROOMS IN THE HOUSE OF STRONG EXTRAVAGANZA!!!!!!!! Or at least the first 7. {{User:Don't say jorb 101/sig}}

::How do we do that? Let's do Storybook World or [[email thunder]]. {{User:Raiku/sig}} 06:17, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Redirects

This is a placeholder topic for 5-year redirects. Due to overall decreased activity, FAs are now being reused more often. The common practice has become to redirect to the FA exactly 5 years prior to the current FA. When an article is re-used, mark it in the following manner: 

{{FA queue|<date>|Redirects|alternatediscussion=yes|decision=<article name>}}

Example: 

{{FA queue|15 Aug 2011 |Redirects|alternatediscussion=yes|decision=1-Up}}

Please keep this discussion in the FA page at all times, but do copy it to archive pages as well.
