HRWiki:Featured article for 2006, week 21 (May 22-28)

How about Crapfully Yours? Seems like a sure bet to me. — Seriously ^(Talk) 03:50, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

I want something other than a character or a gag. I watched Cool Things today... I forgot how awexome that toon really is. We should make a synopsis of it and make it the FA (and super-duper fix-up the article to make it an excellent representative article). —BazookaJoe 03:58, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

I concur its awexomeness, but should it really be a FA so soon? LePorello / T / C 04:06, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Sure, everybody's forgotten about it by now. —BazookaJoe 04:24, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

You've got a great point. I love Cool Things too. 61.3-38.7 in favor. Full decision later. LePorello / T / C 04:27, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Either Cool Things or Bug In Mouth Disease. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 04:44, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm thinking maybe a computer such as The Compy or The Lappy. Neither have been a featured article. --Dacheatbot · Communicate 03:29, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

I suggest we feature the Compy the previous week and one of the two suggested toons this week. LePorello / T / C 12:41, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

I say we do a sbemail. We haven't done one in a really long time. · · T²|_Things 00:11, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

We've never done a SBEmail as a feature. I do like Cool Things. LePorello / T / C 22:32, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Although both toons are pretty kick-awesome, I happen to like Bug in Mouth Disease a tiny bit more than Cool Things. Just a personal decision. — Has Matt? (talk) 22:37, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

If we are definitely going for one of the toons, then I have to say Cool Things. Otherwise, we should do the Compy. · · T²|_Things 22:53, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

That's two for Cool Things, and two for Bug in Mouth Disease. We're getting behind again, so we need to pick one soon. — ACupOfCoffee (Talk | contribs) 15:26, 9 May 2006 (UTC) (left unsigned)

I'm in favor of one of the big toons, but perhaps a slightly older one rather than a recent toon? Perhaps The Reddest Radish, or one of the other underdogs? ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 20:33, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

If not a new one, then A Jorb Well Done would be my vote. LePorello / T / C 21:03, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon. The longest and best full toon featuring the whole main characters.

It's looking like Cool Things has the most support. Bug in Mouth is also a fan favorite, but—hopefully not sounding biased here—more people seem okay with Cool Things. —BazookaJoe 20:04, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Cool Things gets my vote --Dacheatbot · Communicate 20:10, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2006, week 22 (May 29-Jun 4)

We haven't featured any places in a while, so how about The King of Town's Castle or The Office? — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 06:12, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2006, week 23 (Jun 5-11)

It occurs to me that we could perhaps have a themed feature around this week, something to do with the end of school. senior prom is an obvious choice, it's a bit early to feature that, and especially as our first Sbemail. I'd be happy with either another promish idea, or perhaps an article regarding Summer. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 01:18, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Right. Certainly not senior prom, but I like the direction you're heading. —BazookaJoe 01:19, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

And the Yearbook was not long ago. I'll think what else could be put here. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 06:47, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Maybe The Luau? That has sort of a summer-y feel... --DorianGray

End of school? I've been out for two weeks, and my siblings have their last day tomorrow (speaking from a frame of reference that it's still Wednesday, even though it's after midnight). But, on to buisness: Maybe Teen Girl Squad Issue 3 or suntan. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 06:36, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2006, week 24 (Jun 12-18)

We could have the June character around here, which do you think is next in line? I would guess Strong Sad. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 01:12, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Weren't we originally going in order of introduction? Didn't Bubs and Coach Z debut before Strong Sad? --DorianGray

It was semi-discussed here, with the general feeling being that we've already gone against who debuted first, by having Strong Bad second. It's more in order of general popularity and how often they're used. In my opinion, that puts Homestar and Strong Bad decidedly first and second, and The King of Town, The Poopsmith, and Homsar 10th, 11th, and 12th, respectively. Besides that, the middle four of Strong Mad, Strong Sad, Bubs, and Coach Z are kind of up in the air so to speak, since they're all kind of middle characters. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 04:10, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2006, week 25 (Jun 19-25)

I think a running gag would fit in this week or the following quite nicely. Possibly, DELETED or How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On? --Dacheatbot · Communicate 01:24, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2006, week 27 (Jun 29-Jul 2)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2006, week 28 (Jul 3-9)

We could have a character around here too, possibly Strong Mad to finish off the Strongs? ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 01:14, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
