HRWiki:Featured article for 2006, week 49 (Dec 4-10)

DaAaAaA! I'm a featured article from December 2006! Heimstern Läufer 21:03, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

"Zapruder!"  Loafing 21:37, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

I like the idea. I've been thinking Homsar needs to be featured for some times now. Alms for the Pudgy? Alms for the Pudgy?-- »Bleed0range« 19:52, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2006, week 50 (Dec 11-17)

Since we've just featured all three of Strong Bad's computers, let's do Tangerine Dreams. I'm sure it will make a lot of Mac users happy... ;) --Trogga 02:58, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

What a fine idea! Nice article. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 09:01, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

I like it too! I say we do it!-- »Bleed0range« 20:28, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Sure, why not? Heimstern Läufer 23:19, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2006, week 51 (Dec 18-24)

It's the week before Christmas Decemberween! --Trogga 22:26, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

I went and nominated this sucker and it's my favorite toon. Please can we make it the featured article for this week? Homestar Presents: Presents. It's chock full of holiday hilarity! AND (i just thought of this), it also has a countdown clock for minutes left of Decemberween. Which is most useful during the time it would be featured. lol. -- »Bleed0range« 18:05, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

I think we should feature that article, but as I've said below, I think it would fit well next week. I think That Time of Year, with its emphasis on things leading up to Decemberween, would fit well this week. Heimstern Läufer 22:10, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

I agree. That time of Year.-- »Bleed0range« 22:38, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Decemberween Food would be good too. --Trogga 23:09, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

That Time of Year really is fantastic and should be featured. If we were to do Decemberween Food too, then That Time of Year might be better pushed back a week. THough the Mac users might get upset. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  03:29, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

I think the Decemberween food could be pushed back a week and this toon still be featured this week. The mac stuff could always be done in January sometime. Decemberween is only once a year.-- »Bleed0range« 03:49, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Well, my thinking was that TToY is a better leadin to the holiday season. Then Dw Food would occupy a transition week to the Decemberween toon we should feature next week. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  03:53, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

NB: please don't create a featured article page for That Time of Year, whenever we feature it: There's already one that's been deleted that we'll restore once we're sure what we're doing. Heimstern Läufer 04:52, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't see if we reached a decision yet, but I'd like to mention Thy Dungeonman (character). — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 18:38, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, that's certainly a fine article, but I don't think we should feature it the week before Decemberween. I still think That Time of Year is the way to go for this week. Heimstern Läufer 21:19, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

If people really want to see Decemberween Food featured, please speak up. To me, three different Decemberween FAs seems like it might be a bit overkill. But basically, we could go ahead and move TTOY back to week 50 and feature food this week, or we could go with plan A and feature TTOY this week and Tangerine Dreams during week 50. Any more opinions? Heimstern Läufer 23:24, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

I'd go with either way; we're running out of time. --Trogga 00:25, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

I think Plan A. Decemberween Food isn't really needed, and TTOY is perfect for leading up to Decemberween. Exhibit A (talk · edits) 02:24, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2006, week 52 (Dec 25-31)

"Decemberween is here. Decemberween is here. Today." (No, I'm not suggesting That Time of Year.) --Trogga 22:26, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Well, if you're not suggesting it, maybe I will. --DorianGray

It's the right kind of toon. I like it! And I just subtitled that thing. It was pretty fun actually!-- »Bleed0range« 20:44, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Meh, I'd rather do the whole Decemberween In July thing. --Trogga 22:03, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

What about switching this week with the one before? I would like to see Homestar Presents:Presents for this week: For those in North America, it'll come up as Christmas (Decemberween?) Eve is coming to an end, fitting well with the chronology of that toon. Heimstern Läufer 22:08, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Ok, yeah. I got that confused. It would make more sense for it to be used on Christmas day itself since the clock works in MINUTES. Yeah. I vote for Homestar Presents: Presents for this week. It just seems to make the most sense. AND IT IS MY FAVORITE!! :) Nothing funnier than that line about running out of the house naked somehow. However, I don't like doing the Decemberween in July thing in December. If your gonna do the whole article, I think it would be better fit for JULY.-- »Bleed0range« 22:35, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

My vote goes to Homestar Presents:Presents. I think That Time of Year is better suited to be the week leading up to D'ween. Exhibit A (talk · edits) 02:28, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2007, week 1 (Jan 1-7)

This has been suggested before — Cold One? --Trogga 15:11, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

What aboutHappy Fireworks???? That seems to fit the occassion/ocassion/occasion/however it's spelled. I'm pretty sure more than just the USA celebrate New Years with Fireworks. And the toon is pretty much not clear what time of year this is supposed to be (even tho we know it came out in July). It's nominated and seems apropriate. Anyone agree?-- »Bleed0range« 19:56, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Meh, I'd rather not feature it on New Year's Eve. The Cold One page is good and I'm surprized it's not already featured. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 20:15, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Actually, thinking it through... I now see how The Cold One page can apply to New Years. lol. Ok, I vote on that too. It's a good idea.-- »Bleed0range« 20:31, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

You guys might find this funny, but Cold Ones was going to be the featured article for the new year last year (this year). But due to technical bumbs in the road last year, Homestar Runner got bumped up early. I do not anticipate those problems this year. Jan 1, 2007 falls exactly on the start of MediaWiki's week 1. It won't be until 2018 when that happens again. —BazookaJoe 20:48, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Re:Happy Fireworks: I do think we should do this for July 4th of 2007. We kind of meant to do it this year, and somehow it didn't work out right. Heimstern Läufer 21:31, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

I like Cold Ones. And it's already written up anyways. (The reason it got bumped last year was we were hoping the system would make "2006, week 1" start and end on Sunday the 1st. Instead it just overlapped "2005, week 52" to Sunday the first, then started week 1 on Monday. So we hastily bumped Homestar up to week 1, making him the first full feature of the year, and we didn't get around to picking another good time for cold ones). In any case, let's do it this year. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 00:02, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2007, week 2 (Jan 8-14)

What about Rather Dashing as a featured article? Everyone's favorite hero in short pants? That or we could do Naked Ned, which is a little more obscure. January always reminds me of them releasing the PQ Trailer, but that's already been featured before. -- »Bleed0range« 20:51, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

I had a better idea, why don't we do Stinkoman as a featured article for the month of January? I was surprised it hasn't been done yet. Then maybe next month (February) we could feature 1-UP? Both articles have quite a bit of information and are interesting.-- »Bleed0range« 03:56, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Stinky may need a cleanup. --Trogga 15:03, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Stinkoman sounds great to me. This year, our main focus, character-wise, has been on the main characters; that's probably why we haven't gotten to Stinkoman yet. If he needs cleanup, by all means, do it. It's a wiki! Heimstern Läufer 23:23, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, too bad this article couldn't come up on 6 January, which is Stinkoman's birthday... that'd be even better than a Stinkoman-shaped pancake. But I guess we can give him a belated birthday present this year. Heimstern Läufer 00:03, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

We should do Stinkoman the week before and do Cold Ones this week. That would make sense. Salty^Talk! 23:20, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, the reason for doing Cold Ones the week before is so they could line up with New Year's Day. You know, the whole alcohol-New Year's connection? Heimstern Läufer 23:23, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

HRWiki:Featured article for 2007, week 3 (Jan 15-21)

How about we do one of those weeks where we feature daily articles? Specifically, a week devoted to some of the old games. A while ago, someone suggested featuring Strong Libs, but some people objected on the grounds that there's not much content to it. If we feature these articles for only a day, it's not such a problem if there's less content because it's only there for one day.

These are the games I was thinking of (most of which have had at least one reference in the modern era of H*R):

• Strong Libs
  
• Dancin' Bubs
  
• Homestar Talker
  
• Hairstyle Runner
  
• Spin 'n Say
  
• Fortune Cookies
  
• Homestar Quiz
